Lani and I were invited to last Saturday USA Dance Monthly Dance as guests of Ravi and Synthia. (Thank you, Ravi and Synthia). Our hosts wrote that there will be a Flashmob Salsa presentation at 7:45. I got to the Palladium about 7:30 and the place was jumping to the upbeat music from Ravi and Synthia. Familiar and friendly faces Delia and Lorrie were at the Reception Table. Later Candy joined them. I couldn't place the names of the couple at the next table but the lady sure looked like a lady that use to perform in solo dance exhibitions some years back. Anyway, the goodies on the table sure looked onolicious.

USA Dance President Ed said a few words before the showcase started and then he passed the microphone to Ravi who EmCeed the program. There were two performances that evening.. The first by Calvin and Debra who performed a variation of the International Foxtrot to the catchy tune, "Ball In The Jack" Their movements were so smooth and impeccable that it was beautiful to watch. (So beautiful to watch that I missed taking a video). Auwea!

Ravi explained: "
The 2019 Flashmob presentation was part of the USA Dance Honolulu chapter's
(early) celebration of the 2019 National Ballroom Dance Week, September
20-29, 2019
National Ballroom Dance Week is celebrated all over
the United States by both Amateurs and Professionals, Studios and Clubs to
promote the benefits of ballroom dance.
During this week,
the Honolulu chapter will be performing at multiple locations on the island to
promote and encourage ballroom dance as a hobby and exercise".
After the Flashmob presentation, general dancing resumed and that was my cue to head back home after thanking Ravi and Synthia.
That's about it for now. Happy Dancing!
