Hello Dancers,  
   'Sinta' by the Filipino band Aegis has clearly been the dance floor favorite especially at Point Point.  More details below.       


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Line dancers were jubilant as they danced through the August warm nights in Point Point, especially to songs like "It's My Soul", "Tennessee Waltz", "Coco Jamboo", "Under The Sun" and the salsa line dance that Rei introduced.  Irma is relatively new to the group, and brand new to the group were Chit and Melinda.                      
    FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (August 30th and Sept 6th) 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.  The music's been great for the past two weeks, but the attendance is not that great, unless you like a lot of open dance floor.  DJ Eric played a nice variety of swing, cha cha and other latin music, and even line dances.  My favorites were "Self Control", "One Way Ticket" (you can see video 1 or video 2 on YouTube) and "On The Floor".  August 24th was unique in that the guys outnumbered the ladies - the first time I'd seen that. Carlos brought Christine, who enjoyed her first Wednesday dance at Lucky Star, as far as I know.                                       
   "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday August 31st 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 DANCING AT POINT POINT managed to pack in about 45 dancers last Thursday (August 25th), and I heard the previous week was the same. It was a warm night and DJ Leo was hot with great ballroom and line dance music.  "Sinta" by the Filipino band Aegis (click here for YouTube video; its MP3 is in Files), the Filipino love ballad night club 2-step that I was able to recognize June 2nd, continues to be the favorite.  The waltz line dance, "Right Thing That We Do", is also very popular.  Line dances got the ladies dancing, especially "Tennessee Waltz", "It's My Soul", and "If You Wanna Be Happy".  I was thrilled to hear "Rivers Of Babylon" and "Self Control".                   
  This coming Thursday September 1st, 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.     


FRIDAY NIGHT DANCING:  The Friday night dance party teaming of Bert Velasco's Dancesation, It Takes Two, and the Infinity Dance Sports Center continues attracting dancers for fun Friday dancing at the Infinity Dance Sport Center, 4428 Convoy Street, Suite 288, near Convoy & Balboa Avenue from 7 - 11pm every Friday.  $8 includes a dance lesson until 8pm, followed by social dancing.  
  At the same time, the 32nd Street Dance Group is enjoying their refurbished ballroom for Friday night dancing in the ADM Robinson Rec Center.  The dancing lesson begins there at 8pm followed by social dancing around 9pm for a mere $2.

  First of all, at Lucky Star last Wednesday (August 24th), even though there were more guys than ladies (!!), somehow Carlos got to dance with two of the lovely ladies, Edith and Christine.              

  Then, the next night on Point Point's main floor on Thursday August 25th we see Marylou, Irma and Nitz dancing joyfully to "Let's Twist Again".

Dancesation Grand Opening Draws Over 140

Hello Dancers,  
   Bert Velasco's Dancesation teamed with Infinity and It Takes 2 to have a well-attended Grand Opening August 5th.  More details below.       


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - A couple line dances that are more or less new to Nina's group got a lot of attention Tuesday August 2nd & 9th:  "Mamma Maria" and "It's My Soul".  On August 9th, Rei introduced a salsa line dance.  Cooler than usual early August evenings made for some enjoyable line dancing in Point Point's Ocean Java Room.                    
    FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (August 16th and 23rd) 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.  "Sinta" night club 2-step got all 16 dancers on the floor Wednesday August 3rd.  "You're the First, Last, My Everything" swing dance did the same the following Wednesday.  DJ Eric played a nice variety of ballroom and line dances.  "Coco Jamboo" and "Tennessee Waltz" line dances were favorites on both nights.                                    
   "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday August 17th 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 DANCING AT POINT POINT keeps getting a crowd with around 50 showing up August 4th & 11th.  DJ Leo kept the dancers dancing with great ballroom and line dance music.  "Sinta" and the waltz line dance were the favorites getting around 40 on the floor each time.  "Tennessee Waltz" seemed to be the favorite line dance, and "Rumba Samba Mambo" still gets a lot of line dancers out on the floor.                  
  This coming Thursday August 18th, 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.     


FRIDAY NIGHT DANCING:  The Friday night teaming of Bert Velasco's Dancesation, It Takes Two, and the Infinity Dance Sports Center got off to a great start August 5th with over 140 attending the "Grand Opening" Luau Night.  There was lots of food and lots of dancing on the big Infinity dance floor.  While most songs were unfamiliar to me, I did recognize "Self Control", a swing dance, and among the handful of line dances I recognized "Simplemente".  You can join the fun at the Infinity Dance Sport Center, 4428 Convoy Street, Suite 288, in the shopping center with Office Depot near Convoy & Balboa Avenue from 7 - 11pm every Friday.  $8 includes a dance lesson until 8pm, followed by social dancing.  
  Also on August 5th, the 32nd Street Dance Group resumed Friday night dancing in their ballroom in the ADM Robinson Rec Center after renovations.  The dancing lesson begins there at 8pm followed by social dancing around 9pm.
