Aloha line dancers of Hawaii and beyond. I hope you all are doing well! Apologies for missing the March newsletter. I had little to send out, plus I was working on a couple of dance projects.
One of those projects was completed at the beginning of this month. It's a public service announcement video released on April 5 to coincide with the lifting of travel restrictions for out-of-state visitors coming to Kauai. The song titled Everybody Wear A Mask sung by Kauai local teen Daphne Sanchez was released this past December. The song was dedicated to all health care workers and first responders. The song's producer Art Umezu contacted me at the beginning of February to put a line dance together for the video with an emphasis on the chorus which delivers the message of wearing a mask, washing your hands, and social distancing. By mid-March, Kauai Line Dance Group started rehearsing in anticipation of the video production. Filming began on March 24 and concluded on March 27. The video was in editing for about a week and was ready for release on April 5. This project made the
local newspaper on Kauai, as well as
televised news media on O'ahu. You can see the
full video here on my YouTube channel.
Open social line dancing is ever so slowly returning to Hawaii. See below in the "Open Line Dancing" section for more information. Also if you have classes that you want to share be sure to send me the information and I'll add it to the "Hawaii Line Dance Classes" section.
Enjoy the rest of April, stay safe, stay healthy, and as always, keep on dancing!
