Hawaii Gardenia Circle Latin Festival 2019

With all the dance venues happening on a Saturday night, there's one place that was jumping with some of the hot Latin tunes. Yeah! Hawaii Gardenia Circle's Gayle Kawahakui and committee sure put on a good program last Saturday night at the Ala Wai Palladium. Just using the Diamond Head side of the ballroom was good enough to have the non-stop music resonate and get nearly all the dancers on the floor. I gotta say that the music sounded better in this half of the entire ballroom. Music was provided by DeeJay Bert Burgess with wife Deanie Bates. EmCee for the program was Steven Sambrano who handled the program with ease. (Mahalo, Steven for sharing your program notes).

Bert, Deanie, and Steven

Got to the Palladium a little after 7:00 without my main squeeze Lani, altho' we were invited as guests of Gayle Kawahakui. (Thank you, Gayle). Felt like the lone survivor but the music was good to stimulate the senses. The up beat music was echoing throughout the ballroom as dancers were moving to the Ballroom and Latin tunes.

Come about eight o'clock, the showcase part of the program started with the parade of local dancers who were going to perform in the six Latin dances.
