Week, Sunday, November 6 to November 12

Of prime importance in this blog, "Of the dancers, by the dancers and for the dancers" but which, of course, does not include all the dancers. There will be some that will not wish to participate in our endeavors and their wishes must be respected.

"If we could all hear one another's prayers,
God might be relieved of some of his burdens."

There should be no misunderstanding on that point. The Creative Researchers And Producers in town are losing some of their remaining influence but all our readers will gain much more. And that clique remains the most powerful on Oahu and the adult equivalent to juvenile bullying.

This week we acknowledge the new blog on the block. The Dance Guide. But it is losing hits which was expected since it will be looking more like a Web Site. It will cover the big doings and leave the rock solid important things like the basics to the individual blogs. The intention for now is a semi monthly publication covering one month ahead.

 "Call Me" by Aretha Franklin

We get most of our information from ordinary flier kine emails. So all we can do is post the ordinary set up that the different groups have with the venue. So we will try to include phone numbers and/or emails for the reader/dancers that are not that familiar with the group. They can call or email to be certain that it is not cancelled for a holiday, or to be used by other groups.

Our number one in the Platinum Horseshoe remains Kapolei. Chapter and I hope to cover them in their next social, it is so enjoyable. They are becoming well known throughout the islands as a top notch dance club. Fortunately for all our reader/dancers, they continue to be such good Information Contributors which includes photos.

We ask for a little kokua from everyone and all of you are the beneficiaries. Check out tomorrow's Platinum Horseshoe blog for one of the best blogs we have ever had. It will go in two parts. Tim Cubero Jr. coming through like a champ as per usual and Kapolei Chapter HBDA is leading the way.

The photos that please so many people are welcomed. And not only for the ones appearing in the photos, their friends and neighbors too. With the hits going up, more people are becoming aware of our dance organizations.

Waianae Zumba: Still going strong in Waianae, and not doing so bad on the Windward side of the Island too. Just read about Ron Mizutani in the Mid Week, he finally decided to go for it and is enjoying it throughly.

I haven't been able to trace down Line dancing yet, but can Ballroom dancing be far behind. There is another Mexican restarant in Waianae, so one of them is bound to start something.

A good Latin club would go over with a bang. Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Merengue, Samba, Tango, Salsa and don't forget a little Latin Waltz too. The three count was danced by the Toltecs 2500 years ago. Then when the Waltz came in after the Spanish had been in the Americas for a couple centuries, the waltz kicked in and the three count picked up again. Anyone that wants a CD copy with Latin Waltzes,  I will give them one.
