What's Doin'?

This blog is still a puzzle, but it stays ahead of whatever is in second place by about 50 points. At one time Platinum Corridor was in second place, but now it is Oahu And Beyond. At the bottom is the relatively new one Oahu - West and I deliberately omitted many gimmicks that I had done in prior blogs. I may institute a few in another month if it doesn't hit 34 per day.

This blog seems to have most of its readers from the Exhibition and Competition styles of dancing. And I believe the readers should make their own decisions. Therefore, one more guest author that leans toward International and I will phase myself out and they can have it. The probability is that they will run the average hits per day to over 200 (6000 per month.) I have much to do elsewhere.

Marketing, advertising and promotion still rely on ideas and only humans have those. That is why we must have our fellow reader/dancers contribute their ideas for these blogs now and then. We must accept constructive criticism and we will all learn the difference from "destructive" criticism. We will have none of this lying gossiping crap that has been going on for years. Everything will be up front and we will all be the better for it.

From Dance Notes:

The Jerky Rumba: This is unlike the smooth, sensuous, sleek, sexy and soft Rumba that has been danced for over a century. This one has an attack of Epilepsy on the two & three counts. With a quicker rock step, it gives the exhibition dancer a little more time to pose in the slow count. This is a modification that may eventually supplant the old Rumba in the International style along with the straight legs. But they are certainly within their rights to accept such a thing as "their style." And of course, with more differences in styles, it becomes easier to make the choices.

"YMCA" by the Village People

Hayseed: Applied mainly in the big cities on the mainland to men in jeans, khakis, mechanic jumpers or just sloppy. No respect for the ladies who are dressed so nicely even if the dance is Casual Attire. There was no mention of "slippahs."
