Hello Dancers,
Point Point Joint was full, with 50 dancers living it up this past Thursday May 19th. More details below. I was out of town for a couple weeks, and many thanks for the kind words about my late dad. Not many good pictures from early May - if you have some good ones, feel free to send them to me.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (May 17th), there were only nine line dancers. Well, we had fun anyway, dancing line dances like "Under The Sun", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Locomotion" and a new one, "Just The Way You Are" (the new song by Bruno Mars) which was introduced by Nina and Angie on May 10th.
THIS COMING TUESDAY (May 24th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHTS at Lucky Star Restaurant on May 4th, 11th, and 18th also had lower attendance with about a dozen dancers each night. DJ Joey played May 4th & 11th, and then Lucky Star management changed the entertainment on May 18th to a live band - KOLORZ.
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday May 25th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 or $7 plus one drink minimum. KOLORZ rock band will be on stage again, with recorded music during breaks.
THURSDAY NIGHT (May 19th) DANCING AT POINT POINT brought in about 50 dancers, after two weeks of about 25 in attendance. 50 was just about the most dancers there since Thursday dancing started at Point Point in January. DJ Leo kept everyone dancing with great swing, cha cha, line dances and more. A lot of dancers still enjoyed "Rumba Samba Mambo" (see photo). Line dancers enjoyed learning "Action Line Dance" from Nitz. My Edith had a birthday party break. Speaking of birthdays, Divine had a nice birthday celebration at the Thursday May 5th dance.
This coming Thursday May 26th we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City. 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.
SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa is in its 2nd month in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant. Those in attendance love it, and the report I got from the May 21st dance was that there were over 30 in attendance. I was able to get to the dance May 14th, and I had a great time. Carmi, the dance organizer, was socializing with us (see photo).
This coming Saturday May 28th, it'll be dance party time again at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, 8pm-midnight. $8

Hello Dancers,
Point Point Joint was pretty full with 45 dancers having fun this past Thursday April 27th. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (April 26th), there were over a dozen line dancers. Nedy and Gloria added nice color to the night (see photo). Dancers had fun dancing line dances, once again like "Simplemente", "Come Dance With Me", "Coco Jamboo", "Under The Sun", and "If You Wanna Be Happy".
THIS COMING TUESDAY (May 3rd) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on April 27th had barely 20 dancers - we at least got to know each other better (see photo). With DJ Eric out of town, DJ Joey was handicapped by losing his laptop. Luckily, Carmi brought in hers. As the night went on, we alternated music off the laptop and CDs using Lucky Star's system. Thanks to the dancing fervor of Jerry, Jun and Rose, everyone kept on dancing. I saw dancers really having fun to Elvis Crespo's rollicking merengue, "Princesita". DJ Joey surprisingly played one of my favorites, "Johnny B. Goode", a great boogie dance.
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday May 4th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum. DJ Joey will be on stage again, and DJ Eric returns to Lucky Star on May 18th.
THURSDAY NIGHT (Apr 28th) DANCING AT POINT POINT brought in about 45 dancers! Wow! The place was packed. DJ Leo did an excellent job of music selection, I thought, with so many great songs that people had fun dancing to: "Self Control", "Dance With Me", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Coco Jamboo", "Esta Noche", "Tennessee Waltz", "First, Last, Everything", and "Linda Eh" a fabulous merengue by Elvis Crespo. The floor was full for almost every song, and I saw Bert Alota dancing a lot, Rosie and Jun posed nicely for me (see photo) as did Mona (see photo).
This coming Thursday May 5th we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City. 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.
SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa was in its 3rd week on Saturday April 30th in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant, with about 25 in attendance. DJ Joey found his laptop that was missing at Lucky Star. The music selection was LOUD and a lot of Latin, my favorite being "Princesita". Swing songs included the Bee Gees "Night Fever" four times! Carmi & Max (see photo) were the dance organizers. The lovely ladies at my table (see photo) included Vivian, Rose and Edith who had all been to Lucky Star on Wednesday, PLUS Cora joined us as did Liz who'd been out of town for a month or so. Cora and Rose did a great dance to "Hot Stuff" (see photo).
This coming Saturday May 7th, it'll be dance party time again at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, 8pm-midnight. $8
PHOTOS:
First of all, from Wednesday April 27th's Filipino Night at Lucky Star, we see Penny and Rose doing a nice dance to "Lady In Red".
Then, at Four Point's Saturday Night Dance April 30th, in between dances we see Vivian, Rose, Edith, Cora and Liz at my table! A very nice sight!
