“The Night Kapolei HBDA Had Its Social”

Part II, By Tim Cubero, Jr.

Aloha and Welcome Back to Another Look at HBDA Kapolei!
How could anyone forget our recent second quarter social?!  Looking at everyone’s faces that evening, you could tell that students, visitors, and dance instructors were truly enjoying themselves.

Non-stop dancing for Norman!  Big, big smile on Nilda’s face.  Yvonne was out there too in many of the line dances.  Lino said he enjoyed it so much that he was tired the next day!  Sera, Roger, and the rest were having fun!

Our Aliamanu friends just loved dancing to Augusto’s music, and the instructors always enjoy our socials because our chapter gives them the importance they justly deserve. Special thank you to Deej who came to our social and who especially came out to support us at our recent Waltz Routine at the Ala Wai Palladium. She reflected:  “… I might forget how to dance, but I’ll never forget my friends.”

If only we had a full video of our social night to post here as well. You could then realize what tremendous energy took place in both sound and sight with the floor packed with dancers having great fun after eating a full food entourage of a traditional holiday-style variety of dishes to choose from!

Better yet: Because we have no video available to show, you’ll have to take up our continued open invitation to join us this 3rd quarter which started on October 3. That way you can join us in our next social as an active student instead of a more than welcomed guest!
