PLACES TO GO DANCING
The most popular place for dancing is the Ala Wai Golf
Course Clubhouse, 2nd floor (aka The Palladium). This venue is
very large (and I mean ‘large’) with a wooden floor and air-conditioned. In the
evening it is often divided into two large ballrooms to accommodate two of the
local dance clubs. There is dancing most weekends on Friday and Saturday for a
very small charge.On a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday there is recreational ballroom dancing from 12 noon to 3:00 pm. No membership required and free dancing except on holidays. The City and Council Parks and Recreation Dept sponsor this event.
Saturday evening practice session at the Sugino
Dance Academy, 404 Ward Ave. 2nd floor. From 6:00 - 10 pm. The cost is $10 and includes refreshments and a
mini class lesson.
The Waikiki Elk’s Lodge at 2933 Kalakaua Ave,
Honolulu, HI 96815 has music for dancers on some Fridays and Sundays in the
month. No cover charge, $3 parking. Full bar and food available for purchase, 2
drink minimum. Non-members can sign in as a guest of the band for admittance.
