Delete Social Media

I have now deleted My Space, Facebook and Twitter. They are all right in their place and for many of the users. However, it definitely does nothing for me.

"There is nothing in the world so much like prayer
as music is." ~William P. Merrill

Dancing in my game and I have my hands full trying to get these blogs full of information contributors and gradually get these blogs "infested" with Guest Authors. More or less like the other media but restricted to dancers and not just anyone.

Our world is somewhat different than their world. Theirs may have a little dancing now and then when it cannot be avoided. But for us, dancing is it and we will include a little here and there of other things.

"Silly Love Songs" by Wings

The main thing is that the Creative Researchers And Producers no longer have the clout that they used to have. The clubs that were infested with them had lost members for the last ten years, and it may now be slowing down. And of course the West is booming as the East will too when the proper people over there get interested.

"We Got To Get You A Woman" by Todd Rundgren

Two good prospective dancing places in the East are Kilauea Recreation Center and the Waimanalo Recreation Center. Both big and beautiful. The interest will probably go around the bend up to Kailua and Kaneohe.

Naturally the West will eventually take over, more people more territory. The Waianae Coast is already leading the charge. Kapolei Chapter of HBDA is now the prime showplace in the West. Dance Hawaii, is coming up with Dance Waipahu and there may be a Dance Mililani too. Wherever we get the information we publicize for the benefit of all. Those that prefer to be left out will be left out. We respect.

"Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins and Messina

Meanwhile we are awaiting for more information contributors. A little information from our people, and published in the blogs will go a long way to converting the cliques into minimal influence. And ours will all be up front.

There is a terrific article by David Easa, MD on the Capital Dancesport Championship in the Beyond Oahu blog and also in the Town Dancer blog. Specially for those interested in the competitions. Too long but I found myself glued to every word and you will too. I even reread it a couple times. Perhaps we can get a follow up from someone (with Photos.)

None of us is going for the Pulitizer. We just convey very interesting information to the reader/dancers which is the name of our game.
