Thanks for the latest write up and photos, Pepe! Here are a few more photos. As you know, our social dance was another terrific evening of dancing, great food, and being with our chapter members, our dance instructors and friends. Danny Ramos and Lily Tolentino from Pearl City, Arnold and Millie Chun and Al and Kathy Fukushima from our sister chapter Pearl Ridge, Leona Deponte and Leo and Charito Delgado from Aliamanu, were just a few of our many friends who came over and enjoyed the music of Augusto and Noemi Jarra. The line dance steps Augusto and Noemi showed us were easy to follow. The dance floor, particularly during line dancing, was packed.

Of course, during our social dances we always take the opportunity of thanking and recognizing our dance instructors. They are all volunteers who spend their personal time traveling to the numerous HBDA chapters. In addition to the three different dances they teach each quarter, they also teach us fairly intricate dance routines that we perform during our Anniversary Ball, and a couple of short dance routines that we perform during the Masquerade and Christmas Fundraiser Balls. We are very grateful for their dedication. Eric and Gail Tiwanak, our dance instructors last quarter, made it fun to learn East Coast Swing, Viennese Waltz and Bolero; and they also taught us a short dance routine that we performed at the Masquerade Ball and the Mele Kalikimaka Ball. Thanks again, Eric and Gail!

We were fortunate that quite a few of our dance instructors joined us during our last social dance: Benny and Faith Agbayani, Mel Camat and Susan Masumoto, Romy and Miriam Quemado, Esmenio and Roselily Andres, Danny and Greg Carreon, Mark Dela Cruz, Romy and Elsa Navares. We were also glad to see Jack Legal, HBDA’s perennial MC, and Shoko Ballesteros.
