This program, supported by fundraisers and donations is not only for Divino Ritmo Dancestudents, but for ALL interested keikis and Youth in Hawaii.

The criteria for scholarship eligibility may be found on Hawaii Dancesport's website indicated above. A hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds from this benefit will go towards Hawaii Dancesport Inc.'s keiki and youth scholarship fund.

We need your continued support to help nourish & build character in our future citizens, Hawaii's Keikis, through the discipline of ballroom dancing and competition. Your contribution toward this cause will be much appreciated.

Anyone interested in joining in our quickstep group routine for Dance Magic 808's 4th Anniversary Ball, please advise us asap. You must be a 2015 member and be registered for a class during the entire time we are practicing and performing the routine. If you will be taking a trip 2 months before the performance, you might want to consider participating next year. The choreographers will determine if they will accept the students for this performance depending if the students can make the practices and if they can execute the steps. It's going to be a fun routine and beginners and advance students are welcome to join the routine.

There was also a new Line Dance taught by Joshua at the
Dance Magic 808 Anniversary Ball in Las Vegas last year. 

Also, we are planning to choreograph a hustle group routine to be performed on April 26, 2015 at our Las Vegas Showcase. Please let us know asap since practice might begin as early as Nov. 2014. Same requirements will apply for this routine as it does for the quickstep routine.

If you have any questions, please contact me by email, text or phone.

Mahalo for your continued support.
