Only With Pepe's Help

Seems like it was eons ago that the mini dance mag "Dancing In The Dark" produced and published by Pepe was widely read in our dancing community. It was enjoyable just to pick it up at my convenience and read about the going on's in the dance world. Well time has changed rapidly and now the social media is by electronic means.....iPods, computers, Kindle Fire, Nook, etc. One thing fo' sure is that Lani and I got started on our Weblogs: "The Dance Connection" and "That's Dancing" with Pepe's guidance.
Mucho Gracias, mi Amigo!   

Dance Magic 808 2nd Anniversery Ball

"Time Flys" as the saying go. And time has sure gone by quickly since Dance Magic 808 successful 1st Anniversary Ball last year. Dance Magic 808 went Big Time for that event with the Showcase of exhibition dancers from their own instructional staff, the dance team of "Dance Now" from Los Angeles, CA, a dance couple from the University of Nevada Las Vegas Dance Team, and the formation dancers from Kauai Ballroom Dance Club. Topping it was the TV  video coverage by Olelo Television on Oceanic Channel 52.  Lani and I were in that showcase dancing the Club Merengue. It wasn't easy getting started in gear for us at that time since we were out of the exhibition circuit since '92. But the challenge was there and we enjoyed being in that showcase. So what's in store for this 2nd Anniversary Ball? Well it's anybody's guess but the surest thing to find out is to be there at the Pacific Beach Hotel Grand Ballroom on August 9. See more info in the attached poster. If hard to read, just left click on it to zoom in.
