We extend condolences and sympathy to our regular dancer Nedy, who is also prominent in the Fil-Am community. Her Dad died Jan 14th and she's on her way to Manila for services. This sad loss follows by two weeks the loss of Rei Toth's mother.
Meanwhile at Lucky Star, DJ Eric was AWOL, but five guys and five ladies danced the night away on the Jan 12th "Filipino Night". Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 11th eleven of us danced through about a dozen line dances, a few up to three times. We welcomed a visiting VIP from the Red Hot Line Dancers, Baby. She told us a bit about the Red Hot Line Dancers' fun Friday dances in Mira Mesa - they get about 50 dancers! Anyway, we danced to "Asi Asi", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sway", and many more.
THIS TUESDAY (Jan 18th) 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 12th again had few dancers, this time there were ten of us. Although the owner was disappointed by the low turnout, with five guys and five ladies, there was a dance partner for everyone. And, dance we did! There were 10 of us dancing to many songs. DJ Eric was absent again, stuck on the East Coast due to snow-related flight cancellations. So once again, the manager gave "OK" to play dance CDs on their system. With folks being mostly ballroom dancers, two-step songs like "Yo Te Amo" and disco swing like "You're the 1st, Last, My Everything" got everyone onto the floor. The few line dances like "Todo Todo Todo" also got us on the floor.
Expect DJ Eric and $6 cover charge this coming Wednesday Jan 19th. 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 13th, also had 10 dancers - 3 guys and 7 ladies - Whoopee! With Jun being the only guy who dances ballroom nicely, most songs were line dances like "Asi Asi", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Chilly Cha Cha", "Coco Jamboo", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sex Bomb", "Tennessee Waltz" and "Volare". With attendance low, it's best to call ahead to see what's happening this coming Thursday January 20th.
PHOTOS:
First of all, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 12th, we see Malou and Dione dancing to the graceful two-step "Yo Te Amo".
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Jan 13th, line dancers had a great time - in this photo it's Beth, Nedy & Nina in front on "Volare".
