This Sunday, August 8th you can polish your Hustle with Dorin at Koloa Dance during the 7pm practice, with open dance from 8-10pm at the Koloa Neighborhood Center. For details, KoloaDance.com.

Then show your skills off on Saturday, August 21st. Aloha Beach Hotel is hosting Saturday Night Fever at Kuhio Lounge

Blaze Entertainment DJ’s
Prizes for best dressed John Travolta and Disco Queen
9 pm – 1am; $5 cover, drink specials all night
Special Room Rate – $76 per night, plus tax

I was researching on YouTube (as I love to do…) and must admit, I forgot how skinny John Travolta was in this movie, and how high the men’s waistbands were, along with a few other details – fun research for your costume contest. Long video, and the dancing doesn’t start for 3 1/2 minutes – but enjoyed the flashbacks!

Now where did I put my feather earring and gold platform boots???
