It goes do Don a and Sooke soon. This May sound strange to the uninitiated but to the thousand of japanese who twine and shake across us nation dance floor. Ifs the latest the most. And it s made in Japan or almost. Not Content with importing the Samba Rock n Roll and similar manifestations of Western culture the japanese have gone on an inventive kick of their own. On of the key inventor is a Natty japanese bandleader who goes by the unlikely name of Smiley Ohara Smiley is the tag americans gave him when he played in military clubs during the occupation. Ohara is a legitimate japanese name said in Japan to have been adopted by the Irish Way Back Smiley says the do Don a is derive from an old filipino tune that the Fili pinos apparently never thought much to Japan a couple of years ago by some visiting filipino entertainers Smiley took the four four beat arranged other scores to fit it juggled around the original dance Steps and came up with what looks like hopscotch with a with both feet together. One. The left foot shifts sideways to the left. Two the left foot slams Forward accompanied by a decided left Forward lurch of the body. Three the right foot moves Back a step. Four the left foot returns next tothe right foot now do the same thing starting with the right foot the japanese coined the term do Don a for it because thais the Way the off beat rhythm sounds to their ears. The dancing accent is on the two a the left foot hits the floor. In the music the accents on the third beat the the Sooke Sooke is a More recent acquisition it began last september. From a Bijou rhythm bolivian tune Sucu Sucu Smiley found the title phonetically appealing. It conjures up the japanese words Audi to like and Sulu soon he says. He changed the original two four Beatty a four four beat and adapted it to such songs As the St. Louis the third Man mama in Law and run then he developed the step three step sideways to the right then two wiggles of the hips in rhythm with the Sooke Sooke on the fourth beat repeat to the left and so on. The great advantage in Japan is tha tall the night clubs and cabarets have hostesses the dance Hep bandleader s their business to keep up with these things. And the hostesses teach the customers so new Steps spread in no and what about the twist yes Smiley says. That s one that should be popular in Japan too. But Ithan t taken hold yet i m thinking of tinkering with it. But perhaps it s some thing that is Best left As is. Well North South vulnerable.
