Big Change Coming For The Fall Session

I don't know if the Board of Educaion is rolling in the right direction or not for the Community School for Adults (CSA). The big change for the upcoming Fall Session is the $10 fee that will be charged for enrollment. This is for both Special Education Students and Special Interest Students. The decision by the BOE to assess the $10 fee was brought up during this session faculty meeting that was held last month. Lani and I met with the principal of Kaimuku CSA to say our piece and made suggestions to lessen the blow but it's gonna be a sure thing that the decision stands for the Fall Session. The announcement will be printed on the Fall 2010 Session brochure.


On a lighter note: Our Social Waltz and Tango class got off to a good start on June 14. The students had no problem learning the three basic syllabi in the Waltz and the four basic syllabi in the Tango to prepare them for the advanced steps ahead. This past Monday, Lani and I reviewed all the syllabi taught on the 14th before teaching the Left Turn Cross Combination in the Waltz, and the Promenade Pivot in the Tango. Progression into the advanced steps were acceptable by the students and before the end of the dance class, they were dancing combinations of the Basic and Intermediate patterns in the Waltz, and in the Tango.

If you want to feel the excitement of the Matsuri Hawaii Goodwill Dance that was held at the Pacific Beach Hotel this past Friday, then you gotta swing over to Town Dancer and soak in the personal impressions of the event by my friend, Calvin Ota. He's an excellent dancer with his lovely wife Debra, and one of a kind great descriptive writers in the dance blogs. His photos are top notch, too.
