"Suavemente" Scores at Lucky Star

Hello Dancers,  
     Yes, there were dancers at "Filipino Night" at Lucky Star Jan 5th, and the merengue "Suavemente" got a lot of dancers up.  Details below. 


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 4th twelve of us danced through about 15 different line dances.  We welcomed back Leah and Susan who'd been at the line dancing a couple months ago.  We continued to sort out the steps of "If You Wanna Be Happy" line dance, also known as "Crazy Foot Mambo Line Dance".  We got to refresh our memory of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".  Some others we danced to were "Asi Asi", "Rock Around The Clock", and "Sex Bomb".      
   THIS TUESDAY (Jan 11th) 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 January 5th, was again advertised in "Filipino Press", even though the regular DJ Eric said he's off until Wednesday January 12th.  Surprise!  Some Forever Youngsters were eating when I walked in, and the manager gave "OK" to play dance CDs on their system.  By & by there were 14 of us dancing and many other diners some who joined the dancing till they ran us out at 9pm.  With folks being mostly ballroom dancers, salsa like "Hablame", disco swing like "I Will Survive", and merengue like "Suavemente" (a song which I see has TWO Wikipedia sites devoted to it) got many dancers up.  Nevertheless, line dances "Cumbia Semana", "Todo Todo Todo" and "Coco Jamboo" also got most of us on the floor.     
   Expect DJ Eric and $6 cover charge this coming Wednesday Jan 12th. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.   


THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Jan 6th, had a mere 8 dancers, but we seemed to all have a lot of fun.  DJ RT played  the dance songs, mixed with karaoke.  The night was filled with lots of ballroom dances, mostly swing and hustle, and line dancing,   "Porque Te Quiero" cha cha, "You're The 1st, Last, My Everything" hustle swing, and line dances "Asi Asi", "Cupid Shuffle" and "Electric Slide" the favorites.  With attendance low, it's best to call ahead to see what's happening this coming Thursday January 13th.  
  
PHOTOS:  
  First of all, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 5th, we see Mona and Dione dancing to the rollicking "Suavemente".        

Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Jan 6th, Cecil and Leo sang a pretty karaoke duet of the Tagalog ballad "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang Dumating".                  

    I put those two plus 13 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2011 January' folder.  For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at
