Thursday night at Point Point Joint was the biggest dance of the week for me. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (Feb 1st) there were fifteen line dancers enjoying twelve line dances, like "Chilly Cha Cha", "Rose Garden", and "Sex Bomb". "If You Wanna Be Happy" footwork continued to be discussed. We welcomed Marilyn's friend Luisa, who joined us for the first time.
THIS COMING TUESDAY (Feb 8th) 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.
EDITH will continue selling tickets to a Feb 19th Post-Valentine Dinner Dance at Holiday Inn on the Bay. See details in Upcoming Events.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on February 2nd was back in the big ballroom. Attendance dropped to 16 dancers, plus about 20 people who were just dining in the restaurant. Nevertheless, several songs got a dozen dancers onto the floor, including "La Cumparsita" tango, "Chilly Cha Cha" and "Old Time Rock and Roll".
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday Feb 9th with DJ Eric at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT became BIG on Feb 3rd!! Thanks to Leo & Penny's networking skills, THIRTY dancers showed up for the 2nd week of Thursday night dance at Point Point! It was a joyful reunion of dancers who had not all been together at one dance in almost a year. With all the glamorous ladies there, it was a 3-hour photo session for me (see photos in Group Photos section or the Picasa album). To get enough floor space, this week most tables on main floor were moved to the upper level. Narsing enjoyed her 72nd birthday celebration during the evening. Marilyn came to the dance with Maryann. DJ Leo played ballroom and line dances till 10pm. Favorites like, "1st, Last, My Everything", "Tennessee Waltz", Waltz Line Dance, and "S'mera" each got over a dozen dancers on the floor.
Next Thursday Feb 10th, the dance at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, will be VALENTINE DANCE. "Dress to impress" was the word. If the dance matches the Valentine Dances in previous years at Manila-Tokyo, it will be a beautiful sight - well, at least the ladies will be. Several ideas and plans were mentioned. Another plan was confirmed: Chito and Cindy will give West Coast Swing dance lessons before the main dances for at least the next two weeks - so those lessons will probably be 6:30-7pm. Party dancing will go until 10 PM. The only admission cost is $10 which gets you a 2-entree buffet dinner, 2 soft drinks, and all the dancing you can handle.
FRIDAY NIGHT DANCING AT BETHUNE SCHOOL near Woodman and Paradise Valley Road, with dance instructor Cesar. Vivian, Edith and I were welcomed there tonight by the friendly, cordial, happy and energetic dancers, including Cesar, who was leading the line dancers. The folks at Bethune danced to an amazing number of dances, 18 different line dances between 7pm and 8:30pm, closing time. The dancing was in the school auditorium. Cesar said that they know most of the dances we do at Point Point. I knew 4 of the 18 they did, including "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Tennessee Waltz", and "Simplemente". This weekly dance event, along with many others, are listed on the "Weekly & Upcoming Dance Events Information" webpage.
DJ ERIC's SUNDAY AFTERNOON "STRICTLY BALLROOM" 2-5PM at Lucky Star is CANCELLED this Sunday Feb 6th due to Super Bowl. It will resume Sunday Feb 13th.
