So how is it that so many people are still in the dark? Well, in short, they've been misinformed, and sometimes deliberately, by people who would rather protect their own short-term interests than help our fellow reader/dancers.
"Yes, we have too many clowns and not enough circuses."
We are witnessing a change in the entire dance environment, one that will see greater kokua between all the different factions of dance. The little groups of party poopers are gradually receding into their rightful distance. They can retire to their little caves and snarl at the world.
Now the blogs, due to the interested parties, including the guest authors are establishing their own interests which is very good for all. They will each develop their own perspective on our the dance world. And they will be able to evolve the best methods for cooperation.
"Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band
The Universal Dancer apparently sits right between the American and Country styles. In fact some have hinted that if they had not been designated "Country" and danced exclusively to "Country," They may have been the "Universal" dancers of today. So we all live and learn.
The ultimate goal is for the dancer to enjoy the music, the dance comes a few seconds later. And there is no "correct" or "incorrect" way to really dance, if the dancer is dancing. Perhaps later on there can be hints, but no dictation from the "heavens."
"Jazzman" by Carole King
That is what makes so many of our local amateur teachers so great. So I must plan with the help of others to make Town Dancer the first real independent blog for the reader/dancers. We need at least two Guest Authors and one, of all the guest authors. will become a co-administrator.
Then I can resign my Administrator position and remain as a guest author for a time, while I slowly phase myself out. Only when I have resigned as Guest Author and I am completely out, will the blog be a fully independent blog and on it's own.
