Da Gals of Can Can Dancing -Part 2

Please scroll down for Part 1 on this blog.

(Left click to zoom in)

There were more gals in the Can Can exhibition showcase choreographed by the late Eugene Ichinose, Founder (together with wife Harriet) and Dance Director of HBDA. As I remember them, Harriet was the cool one and Eugene was the "tough as nail" one but together they were like Ying and Yang that worked harmoniously well together.

I'm not sure if the Can Can exhibition was one of his legacy but fo' sure he was very proud of presenting the Can Can showcase and the gals who faithfully participated in them at more than one HBDA event. 

Divino Ritmo Dance 5th Annual Grand Ball 2013

 

A bit early for this announcement but if you're planning to attend Divino Ritmo Dance "World of Music" come this November 30 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, here's your chance to get some tickets early before the SOLD OUT! sign goes up. Last year's Annual Grand Ball was a smashing hit. Just Smashing! (there I go again using a British Isle lingo). But that's cool because there's gonna be a dance exhibition by Blackpool Semi-Finalists Asta Sigvaldadottir and Andrei Kazlouski.in the showcase, and a special performance by Divino Ritmo Dance professionals Lucas and Yanna. This 5th Annual Grand Ball promises talents from students of Divino Ritmo, colorful array of costumes, terrific musical scores, plenty of general dancing, a formal gourmet dinner, and props to compliment the "World of Music". For more info check the attached poster or bettah yet...you can contact Lucas Jaime at (917) 568-3173 or www.divinoritmo@aol.com or Yanna Samkova at (732) 499-0407 or yannajs@gmail.com.
