Wednesday night dancing Fil-Am style will grow this week with the "Grand Opening" of "Ballroom & Disco Dancing" at Spin City, Chula Vista. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - About 15 line dancers at Point Point rollicked through over 20 line dances in 2 hours on Tuesday Sept 13th, including "It's My Soul", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Tennessee Waltz", "Mamma Maria", "Simplemente" and many more. Sept 20th was a different story with emphasis being on learning "Mega Mambo", "Stuck On You" and "I'm Alive".
FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (Sept 27th and Oct 4th) 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. Attendance jumped to 20 on Sept 14th, but was under 10 on Sept 21st. Nevertheless, DJ Eric did a great job playing swing, boogie, cha cha, salsa, merengue, etc., and line dances. Favorites included "First, Last, Everything", "One Way Ticket", "Princesita" (merengue), and "Ave Maria Lola" (salsa).
"Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday September 28th on the luxurious dance floor 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.
Grand Opening at Spin City. Ernie Tactay as the "iqt Music Factory" is planning to begin DJ'ing every Wednesday night starting this week (September 28th). "iqt" must be the initials of his wife Irma. Spin City, formerly Blue Haven, is a night club at 618 E Street, Suite H, Chula Vista. Admission is $5 for Paul Garcia's dance lesson from 7-8pm, and $5 for "Ballroom & Disco Dancing" from 8-11pm.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT. "Sinta", the romantic Filipino night club 2-step, continues to pack the main floor of Point Point with dancers, with about 30 of the 40 people in attendance dancing Sept 15th and 22nd. DJ Leo plays a great mix of swing, cha cha, merengue, bachata, slow dances, etc., and line dances. On Sept 14th, line dancers introduced "Mega Mambo" (a bouncy Italian recording by the Athos E Mancini Orchestra) popularized by YouTube line dance videos since 2007), "Stuck On You" (by the group 3T) and "I'm Alive".
This coming Thursday September 29th, 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: There are about five every-Friday night dance parties, including 32nd St Dance Group, Dancesation at Infinity, RMX, Red Hot Line Dancers, and the Dance Fusion Social Club. FOR MORE INFO ON THOSE AND MORE DANCE CHOICES, see Weekly Dance Events website.
PHOTOS (if these 2 photos do not pop up, click "Show Images" near top of this email):
First of all, we see Ping demonstrating the night club 2-step to Edith's granddaughter, Tiffany, at Lucky Star on Sept 21st.
Then, at Point Point the following night we see Bert Alota and Irma ending up a … what was it? Bachata dance, I think, near the end of the evening.
