Unfortunately Doug Kesler’s Showcase “Fractured Fairy
Tales” has been cancelled.
The Pacific Beach Hotel has raised its prices asking for a
$4000 deposit and upped the meal price by $12. To me it seems that the Hotels
are the only ones making money on Dance Showcases and Competitions.
So it is back to the Palladium with bentos, hard floor, bad lighting and dreadful sound system!! Sorry.
Al
Franz’s Annual Showcase was also cancelled because of rising costs. The Al Franz Dance Studio was supposed to close but it has not. It is still at 419 South Street, Honolulu, Suite 140. Give Albert a call (808) 599-8335 for more information.
Debbie Borges Barbosa has moved her studio “Dream
To Dance” from Auahi Street because of impending development in the
Kaka’ako area. She now has a larger and beautiful studio on the 2nd
floor of the new Palama Supermarket at 1070 North King Street, Honolulu. Give
her a call for information (808) 372-5574.
The Aloha Activity Center at 725 Kapiolani Blvd as of
March 31 2014 will not longer be a dance venue for private lessons and classes.
It is being leased as a showroom for a cabinet making company.
The Sugino Dance Academy at 404 Ward Avenue, Suite
#202, Honolulu is still alive and running even though that property is
scheduled for development (who know when?).
Divino Ritmo Dance (Directors
Lucas Jaime and Yanna Samkova) are currently renting floor space at the Sugino
Studio. But a whisper tells us that they will soon be opening their own
premises on the opposite side of the street. This information has not been
confirmed.
