Dancers at Jade House's Thursday Night Dance Party December 9th were entertained by The Nostalgia Singers. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Tuesday December 7th, Line Dance Night at Point Point brought about 20 energetic line dancers, including 1st-timer Rene. Nina introduced a country line dance that's popular around the world called "Good Time", a rollicking song by Alan Jackson. Nitz, a 32nd St Group regular, introduced another cute line dance to the Point Point crowd, called "If You Want To Be Happy". MP3's of both are available for you in this Yahoo Group's Files. A lot of time was spent on the dizzying new line dance steps to "Asi Asi". With guys Rene and Bong being more familiar with ballroom dancing, there was some nice swing dancing also taking place, especially to "Achy Breaky Heart". We went through over 10 different line dances again. Among them were "I Love The Nightlife", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sex Bomb", "September", "Simplemente" and "Tennessee Waltz".
THIS TUESDAY (Dec 14th) NO DANCING AT POINT POINT. Instead, a Party at Nedy's house. You can join the fun at Point Point again on following Tuesdays (December 21st, December 28th, January 4th, etc.) at Point Point Joint, 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 8th, featured DJ Eric, the One-Man Band. Attendance plunged to 12 dancers, one of the dancers being newcomer Vivian, plus a dozen or more people who were just eating. Among the dancers, there were about the same number of ladies and guys, so there was a lot of dancing, and we frequently had 10 of the 12 dancers on the floor. All the swing and hustle dances got nearly 10 dancers on the floor, like "Hot Stuff" and "You Should Be Dancing".
We're looking forward to this coming week's "Filipino Night". It will again be WEDNESDAY NIGHT (December 15th) in the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego, from about 6:30 to 9:30pm.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, had about 20 dancers, including some who sang karaoke and The Nostalgia Singers, on Thursday night December 9th. Because Christmas is getting closer, there was a seasonal festive atmosphere in Jade House. The "Nostalgia Singers", Pressy, Tess, Mina and Lilia, entertained everyone with a variety of pretty songs including Christmas songs. Besides the Nostalgia Singers, there were line dancers from Nina's line dancing group, some from 32 Street Group, and some who go to Lucky Star and Forever Young events. Line dancers were in the majority early in the night and again at the end of the night, but from 9 to 10 ballroom dancers were in the majority. The music matched the audience, and I left at 11 right after "Coco Jamboo". Evelyn had a little jewelry display, and ladies bought a bunch of bling from her. Manager Vangie Mangune will be open next Thursday night 6pm-nearly midnight Dec 16th for buffet dinner, dancing and karaoke, all for $10, so if you can make it, come on down.

First of all, from Point Point Line Dance Night, Tuesday Dec 7th, we see Rei and Gloria taking a break from line dancing to do a bit of swing dancing to "Achy Breaky Heart".
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 9th, we see The Nostalgia Singers, with Pressy in front and Mina, Lilia and Tess behind her singing a sweet melodic song.
