Fun! Fun! Fun! @Dance Hawaii/WASABI Fundraiser

It was Saturday night and it was a big dance night for Dance Hawaii at the Aliamanu Middle School cafeteria. Since the theme was music of the 50's & 60's, there was gonna be some prizes for the best dressed clothing of that era. The parking lot near the school was filled with cars and red cones blocking the entrance. Dance Hawaii didn't miss a beat on this 'cause they had "gate guards" directing traffic to the nearby parking at the Aliamanu Elementary School. As Lani and I entered the "ballroom", DeeJay Andy Pascua's sound system was blasting away with hot Cha Cha music. The floor was crowded with dancers and seats near the buffet line were all taken. We found some seats near the DeeJay and wasted no time hitting the dance floor with the Swing, Waltz, Cha Cha, and Rumba before WASABI took over with memorable 50's and 60's oldies. They even added the Hustle of the 70's. A smoke machine was turned on and colorful balloons filled the dance floor to give a more 50's and 60's atmosphere.
Before I go any further, I gotta mention the obvious: the success of this wonderful event was due to all the hard working volunteers...Wayne the "gate guard" (there were others), the lovelies at the Reception Table, the people who brought potluck, the tireless servers on the buffet line, the Setup Committee, our DeeeJay, the band, the soloist, and the clean up committee. They are the FRONTLINE VOLUNTEERS.
It was non-stop dancing..when Andy took a break WASABI filled in the void with those hot 50's and 60's and when WASABI took a break Andy filled in with his great selection of social dance music.

At about 8 o'clock, Prez Maurice Morita got on the mike to thank everyone for participating in this fundraiser. He brought some laughter when he said, "We are the poorest dance club because the monies that we collect are donated to the schools". How true that is! He introduced some of the other dance clubs that were in attendance, and Nick Sierra who sang two songs.
More social dancing continued with several Line Dancing peppered in between the mixture of social and 50's and 60's dancing.
There was a short break later on to announce the winners of the best 50's and 60's dressers. They were Deenie Bates of Aiea Ballroom Dance Club, Sharon Nakai, and Junie Sato. Congrats to all three lovelies who received gift cards.
Dancing continued on till 11 PM. It was an enjoyable evening of fun!fun!fun!dancing to the music of the WASABI Band and the big sounds of Andy Pascua'a selections.
