"Locomotion" continued its reign as the dancers' favorite; Cindy & Chito gave another FREE West Coast Swing lesson; and, wear GREEN this Thursday. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (March 8th) there were 13 line dancers. "Fly Me To The Moon" was played briefly March 1st, and the Point Point dancers began trying to dance it this past week. Other relatively recent dances for the Point Point crowd were danced a lot: "Besame Mucho", "Locomotion", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", and "Tennessee Waltz". A dozen other songs were danced. For part of the night we welcomed Cora, a regular at the 32nd Street Dancers.
The Baguio Dinner-Dance is 2 weeks away (Saturday, March 26th), and Edith has tickets that she would like you to get. (reference: Upcoming Events)
THIS COMING TUESDAY (March 15th) 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 March 9th was again enjoyed by 20 dancers, plus about a dozen diners, so once again we had plenty of floor space. Seven of us guys danced more or less continuously with the thirteen ladies, and I heard no complaints. Various swing dances got a lot of dancers on the floor, and "Simplemente", "Sex Bomb" and "Chilly Cha Cha" did very well.
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday March 16th 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 again featured Cindy and Chito giving us a FREE West Coast Swing lesson 6:30-7:30 (March 10th). Sugar Push, the Bump and more advanced steps were covered. More free lessons are anticipated. Inspiring the crowd of about 35 dancers, DJ Leo played a mixture of ballroom and line dances. The West Coast Swing song "The Way You Make me Feel" by Michael Jackson got most folks dancing. Nevertheless, once again the "Locomotion" line dance packed the floor with nearly everybody dancing, 30 dancers by my count. Swing, cha cha, and merengue were other favorites.
This coming Thursday March 17th, we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City. March 17th is St. Patrick's Day, so wear some green. Party dancing: 6:30-10 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.
TITA'S II to Open This Week? "The Speir family is proud to open their second restaurant Tita's II on March 17th", quoting an ad in the Mar. 4 - 10 issue of the Philippine Mabuhay News.
