Hello Dancers,
Point Point Joint has been bustling on Thursdays. Wear your Hawaiian clothes this coming Thursday. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - It was VIP night May 24th as Dr. Aurora Cudal and Femie Cupit, who happened to be on a COPAO errand, stopped in and joined us dancers in the Point Point Joint's Ocean Java Room. There ended up being 15 of us.
But, there were only 4 of us line dancers this past Tuesday (May 31st). After warming up to a few like "Under The Sun", "If You Wanna Be Happy", and "Locomotion", we spent an hour on "Action" (this link is to the Action Line Dance YouTube video), the fast line dance sung by Toby Keith. We discussed whether or not to use the steps seen on YouTube.
THIS COMING TUESDAY (June 7th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina or someone will lead us through fun line dances.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHTS at Lucky Star Restaurant on May 25th and June 1st featured the KOLORZ live band. We made it there May 25th along with over a dozen other dancers, and KOLORZ was indeed a great musical variety band. "Jealousy (Tango of Love)", "Patricia" cha cha, and swing like "Johnny B Goode" were some of their selections. Excellent sax players Doug Buchanan and Nor, and singer Teresita performed with KOLORZ on May 25th.
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday June 8th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 7:00-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum. KOLORZ band will be on stage playing a variety of dance steps, with recorded music during breaks.
THURSDAY NIGHT (June 2nd) DANCING AT POINT POINT had about 35 dancers. DJ Leo played the great dance favorites again. The beautiful rumba "Esta Noche" seemed to get the most dancers, nearly 30, and several others like the "Waltz Line Dance" were loved. Among line dances, it seemed like "Tennessee Waltz" was the favorite with 20 dancers. I was listening to the favorite Filipino 2-step when someone at the table told me that the song is "Sinta" by the Filipino vocal group Aegis from 1999. I'd mistakenly titled it "Nasasabik Ako Saiyo" back in April. It's certainly become popular at Point Point, as well as on YouTube, and it might be a rarity - the song seems to have grown from being a karaoke favorite at Gapo to a dance favorite at Point Point. By the way, if anyone's reading this in Manila now, according to the Internet Aegis will be performing at the "22nd Street Comedy Bar" in Antipolo on Saturday June 11th & 18th - if you go, tell them we love them.
This coming Thursday June 9th, Leo & Penny invite us all to dance again on the main floor at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City. Party dancing: 6:30-10 PM. It will be HAWAIIAN NIGHT so wear your Hawaiian attire.
SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant. I missed a couple weeks, but I heard it's been fun there lately. Last night's dance (June 4th) WAS fun with about 30 dancers. A dozen dancers were celebrating birthday. Dance stars from the 32nd St group, and Morris & his students looked great. DJ Joey played ballroom and a few line dance favorites. The favorite was "Lady In Red" night club 2-step with 24 dancers. Other favorites included "Hot Stuff" disco hustle and "Chattahoochee" boogie-swing. Parking was a little tight with a big gathering of martial arts enthusiasts going on in the hotel.
This coming Saturday June 11th, it'll be dance party time again with DJ Joey at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, 8pm-midnight. $8
