Filipino Night Photos and Dance This Thursday (June 20th)

Hello Dancers,

  Filipino Night was a festive success and a photo frenzy (details below).
  This is your invitation to come back to Point Point this coming Thursday (June 20th) for non-stop dancing from 6 - 10pm.  We hope to see you there.  Today's paper predicts a high of 75 degrees on Thursday. 
   This past Thursday (June 13th) was the Filipino Night Dance Party at Point Point, and the night was a full blown photographers' fest from 6 to 10pm, in perfect weather.  Dancing seemed to be 2nd place compared to the fancy Filipino costumes (see some photos below).  Photos cannot even convey the full beauty of it all.  DJ Mel kept the music going all night for about 50 dancers through several "special number" dances, the costume contest, and various introductions.  
   PHOTOS:  Filipino Night had non-stop camera flashes.  The numerous photos do not do justice to what we saw.  Anyway, here is an ELEVEN-photo (!!) sample of the beautiful sights.   (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "images have been blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):

Cesar led dancers in a "new" line dance called "Tornero".

Florita and Rima were delightfully joyous around Nedy who was wearing a delightfully beautiful yellow Maria Clara dress.

The ladies' costumes were beautiful.  Here lined up next to Edith left to right are Joy, Emma, Eva, Suzanne and Nedy.

Jesse was dancing all night.  On this dance he danced with a 1st-timer.

New-comers Mike and Joy won the Best Costume gift awarded here by my Edith. 

The "Prime Ladies" had a "special number" dance.  Here Myrna and Nilda are in front while Marie gets everyone into position.

Beth, Peter and Nedy dance another "special number", this being "La Jota Moncadena", a Filipino folk dance reportedly originally from Tarlac.

Dancers here enjoy "Dahil Sa Iyo", which has been a line dance favorite for a few months now.

DJ Ernie and Christine danced near 9:30pm.

A little later Rima and Jack were dancing.

At closing time both ballroom and line dancers were on the floor for "Baby Likes To Rock It".  Carlos (in red in foreground) danced it with Christine.  


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  Once again this Thursday Point Point offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.  
  Here's the plan for the next few weeks (well, at least until DJ Leo returns from the Philippines): 

Thursday  June 20th 6-10om, DJ Bert
Thursday  June 27th 6-10pm, ASIA NIGHT, DJ Mel (yes, you can wear your Filipino Night costume again!!) 
Thursday  July 4th  6-10pm, FILIPINO-AMERICAN Friendship Night (or Red White & Blue Night), DJ Bert
Thursday  July 11th 6-10pm, DJ Mel

(The Early Birds start partying around 5:30pm.)

See you on the dance floor,
Bert & Edith
