Senior Fair 2010

Okay! You're all probably wondering what the Senior Fair at the Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall has to do with dancing. Good question! Amid the large crowd of seniors, there were countless number of booths..all geared to serving the seniors. As Lani and I cruised the six isles of merchants, we found that the ones with the longest lines were those merchants that had some kind of games to win a prize (everyone wins a prize), and of course everybody's favorite...ZIPPY'S to renew or apply for 2-year discount cards for 99 cents. Another busy areas were the Main Stage,
and the Gallery Stage where most of the variety shows were held.


Lani and I got to the Blaisdell a little before 12:30PM. Just enough time to scoot over to the Main Stage to watch the Step*Taculars perform their dance routines. Two of our dance teacher friends (Salome of Dancing With Salome, and Ron Reddick of Tap Basics With Ron) were going to perform solos and also dance with the Step*Taculars.
Pretty good dance performance by the entire group and solos considering all of them are in their late 70's and some approaching the golden 90's. Step*taculars with Salome and Ron continues till Sunday at the Blaisdell.


Also met another dance teacher friend Norma who said that she will be dancing the Salsa on Saturday, and the Argentine Tango on Sunday at the Gallery Stage. Last year, she performed a potpourri of Latin dances with Greg The Salsaman. This year could be Greg again but it's anybody's guess. Oh yes! Norma is a senior also and she's got some cuchi cuchi Latin moves to boot. Senior Fair 2010 ends this Sunday.
