Happy New Year to you and Best Wishes for 2011. We extend condolences to our friend and fellow dancer Rei Toth and her family over the loss of her mother, Elnora Rasing, last week.
The line dance to "If You Wanna Be Happy" was the favorite at Point Point and Jade House this past week. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Line dancing at Point Point Joint this past Tuesday Dec 28th featured a ton of food, celebrating both the Holidays and Jun Ancho's birthday. Nely & Gigi & Ledy's husband Ador joined us. "If You Wanna Be Happy" line dance, also known as "Crazy Foot Mambo Line Dance", continued to occupy most of the dancers' attention, with its cute rollicking sound and moderately difficult choreography. We did get to dance some of the more well known line dances, like "Coco Jamboo", "Cumbia Semana", "Rose Garden", and "Tennessee Waltz".
THIS TUESDAY (Jan 4th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on December 29th, was again advertised in "Filipino Press", even though the regular DJ Eric said he's off until Wednesday January 12th. Anyway, several people showed up for dancing, and the manager let me play our dance CDs. No cover charge. So, about a dozen of us danced till they ran us out at 9pm. There were line dances, and hustle swing songs "You're The 1st, Last, My Everything" and "Believe" which got everyone up dancing. Dancers also liked the cha cha "La Ultima Noche".
If there is any dancing this coming Wednesday Jan 5th, there again should be no cover charge. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Dec 30th, had about 10 dancers. DJ RT started the night with a beautiful serenade of "Unchained Melody" to his girlfriend, Melody. The night was filled with lots of ballroom dances, mostly swing and hustle, and line dancing, karaoke and the Holiday Bowl on TV. Bong practiced a lively dance routine with Penny to the song "Dance With Me". "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Tennessee Waltz" and "Volare" were line dance favorites. Manager Vangie Mangune will be open next Thursday night Jan 6th, 6pm-about 11pm for dinner, dancing and karaoke. Dinner will be from the menus, and no extra cover charge for dancing this week, so if you can make it, come on down.
PHOTOS:
First of all, from Point Point Joint's Line Dance Night, Tuesday Dec 28th, we see 15 dancers around the Point Point Christmas tree, with Bong and Chona keeping Jun's head warm.
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 30th, Beth and Edith take a break from dancing to warm their hands in front of a heater.

P.S. Eyes are still on the future site of Tita's II, but the ads in "Filipino Press" no longer predict an opening date.
