Bert Velasco's Dance-O-Rama packed Four Points on Kearny Mesa with over 60 dancers for 2 Saturdays. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Maybe there's now a 3rd guy regularly going to Nina's Tuesday Night Line Dancing in Point Point's Ocean Java Room. Peter is still coming, joining me and Jun. AND, lovers of "Coco Jamboo" have now reached Critical Mass (me and Peter), so we get "Coco Jamboo" played every night. Peter even brought his dear 85-year-old mother Per, who joined in on a couple dances. The other ladies meanwhile loved "Come Dance With Me" and "Volare". Chito led line dancing on "Another One Bites the Dust" on June 28th, the 1st time for me to see those steps.
THIS COMING TUESDAY (July 5th) you can join the fun in Point Point's Ocean Java Room, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will lead us through fun line dances.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHTS at Lucky Star Restaurant. DJ Eric, back on stage on Wednesdays since June 15th, was hot again this past Wednesday June 29th. With more ladies than guys in the place, the line dances like "Tennessee Waltz" and "Coco Jamboo" got the most dancers. But, by and by the exhilarating music got the ladies dancing even without a partner. Attendance the past two weeks has been about 15 folks enjoying the great facility on "Filipino Nights".
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday July 6th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum. DJ Eric will be on stage playing a variety of dance music.
THURSDAY NIGHT (June 30th) AT POINT POINT was warm and PACKED with about 60 dancers. There were about 50 dancers the week earlier. Once again, DJ Leo was playing the great dance favorites. Since the dance floor, which is Point Point's main floor, was always full of dancers, I couldn't tell what were favorite songs. Latin songs were big with "Bailamos" and "Esta Noche" prominent, as well as tangos. The week before, the 2-step "Sinta" by Aegis was big. Line dances in both weeks included Nina's favorite "Come Dance With Me" and my favorite "Coco Jamboo".
This coming Thursday July 7th, 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.
SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant lounge. I heard that the last two Saturday night dances have featured most of Bert Velasco's Dance-O-Rama dancers plus some 32nd-Streeters; there have been over 60 dancers - standing room only at the peak. Bert Velasco's dancers usually dance Friday nights in Poway's The Dance Place (TDP) at at the Growing Place Montessori School, 13242 Pomerado Road, Poway, but with their "SCHEDULE Temporary SUSPENDED due to TDP Hall Maintenance" they're at Four Points on Saturdays. Anyway, at Four Points the music has been ballroom dance songs and latin dance favorites.
This coming Saturday July 9th, it'll be dance party time again at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, with Bert Velasco teach more West Coast Swing (WCS) from 8-9pm. He taught basic WCS July 2nd (yesterday). "Social" dancing from 9-past midnight. Come early to get a seat. The DJ will be Mario or Abe. $8
32ND STREET Dance Group - Renovations are going on in the 32nd Street Group's regular big ballroom, so the Group has announced no Friday dancing at the ADM Robinson center until further notice.
