Hello Dancers,
This Thursday (Oct 27th) - It's a Halloween Costume Party Dance this week at Point Point. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING at Point Point - The ladies keep having fun. During the past two weeks they've enjoyed polishing their steps for "Rivers Of Babylon", "Mega Mambo", "Stuck On You", "It's My Soul", the Salsa Line Dance, and a couple more new ones - "Best Of My Love" and "Upside Down". Rory, a well-known dancer at the Fil-Am dances, joined the dancers on Tuesday Oct 16th.
FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (like tomorrow Oct 25th and Nov 1st) 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 NIGHT DANCING at Spin City Lounge. Close to 15 dancers have enjoyed the dance lessons, social dancing and heavy hors d'oeuvres the last two Wednesdays, Oct 12th and 19th. Dance Instructor Paul Garcia has mostly taught West Coast Swing for two weeks. Then, we go between the food tables and the dance floor while DJ Ernie plays dance favorites like, "It's My Soul" (line dance), "Right Thing We Do" (waltz line dance), "Suavemente" (merengue), and "I Will Always Love You" (swing).
All are invited to "Ballroom & Disco Dancing" (and line dancing) with DJ Ernie at Spin City 618 E Street, Suite H, Chula Vista, Wednesday nights like this Wednesday Oct 26th. Spin City management says more dancers are needed, so why not try it this week. 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. Dancers loved a night jam-packed with line dances Oct 13th, and they took a one-week break last Thursday. But, THIS THURSDAY Oct 27th Leo and Penny invite us all to the gala HALLOWEEN COSTUME DANCE PARTY. There'll be a lot of dancing to songs that are fast - like swing & merengue - and slow - like "Sinta" and "Esta Noche" - so choose your costume appropriately.
Where & when: Thursday October 27th, 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 Fil-Am dance parties in the San Diego area, 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.

Hello Dancers,
No Thursday night dancing at Point Point Oct 20, BUT BIG HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARTY Thurs night Oct 27 at Point Point.
Dancers decided to give themselves a week off this coming Thursday October 20th at Point Point after nine straight months of Thursday night dancing at Point Point! They'll use the time off to get their costumes ready for the BIG HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARTY on the following Thursday October 27th at Point Point, 916 East 8th Street, National City, beginning at 6:30pm. Leo and Penny invite you all to show up Thursday October 27th and have a dancing good time with ballroom dances (swing, cha cha, merengue, night club 2-step, salsa, tango and more) plus LINE DANCING.
Line dancers were in abundance this past Thursday (October 13th) and guys were in short supply, so to the joy of line dancers over half the songs were line dances. Here we see two views of folks dancing a line dance. First of all with Belen and Ledy in front.
This second view has Connie and Nita in front.

Hello Dancers,
Wednesday night dancing (Fil-Am style) Grand Opening at Spin City, Chula Vista, had surprise goodies. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING with continues, now celebrating its 2nd Anniversary with Nina! Back in October 2009, Nina started Tuesday night line dancing in the former Jestoni Club, with line dance favorites at the time being "I Know You Want Me", "Sway", and "Rumba Samba Mambo". Well, during the past two weeks here in 2011 in Point Point, most of the emphasis has been on "Rivers Of Babylon", "Mega Mambo" and "Stuck On You" line dances (links are to YouTube videos). Sept 27th and Oct 4th line dance parties both had about 15 line dancers, welcoming Celia for her first night on Oct 4th.
FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (Oct 11th and 18th) 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 NIGHT DANCING at Spin City Lounge began in rollicking fashion on Sept 28th with 20 dancers, the same night as DJ Eric concluded his year & a half engagement as the DJ for Lucky Star's Filipino Night. At Spin City we've been pleasantly surprised for two weeks now, first of all by the great music courtesy of DJ Ernie and his "igt Music Factory". Secondly, we've enjoyed lots of munchies (heavy hors d'oeuvres), so much chicken, vegetables and chips & salsa that it's been all-you-can-eat. And, last but not least, the great dance instructor Paul Garcia has taught us fabulous ballroom dance steps. DJ Ernie has played dance favorites like, "Suavemente" (merengue), "Tennessee Waltz" (line dance), and "Funkytown" (swing).
All are invited to "Ballroom & Disco Dancing" (and line dancing) with DJ Ernie at Spin City 618 E Street, Suite H, Chula Vista, Wednesday nights like this Wednesday Oct 12th. 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 is still where it's happening, in the weekly Fil-Am dance night scene in San Diego. DJ Leo plays the dance favorites like "Sinta", the romantic Filipino night club 2-step, "Esta Noche" rumba, the Waltz Line Dance, "Footloose" boogie, and an incredible one I heard for the first time, "Samba Margarita". Crowds of over 30 have been enjoying the dancing and great Point Point food.
Leo & Penny invite us all to come on down Thursdays October 13th and 20th, 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.

First of all, we see line dancers like Mona, Irma and Trini dancing at the "Ballroom and Disco Dancing" Grand Opening at Spin City, Chula Vista, on Wednesday September 28th.

Hello Dancers,
DJ Eric ended his Wednesday night engagement at Lucky Star 3 days ago, but on the same night DJ Ernie started his at Spin City. More details below.
DJ Eric wrapped up a year and a half of DJ'ing at Lucky Star this past Wednesday.
Here we see Edith D and DJ Eric enjoying a last dance. It was a year & a half of a lot of great music, ballroom and line dances. At this time, Lucky Star has no immediate plans to fill Wednesday nights, from what I heard. Lucky Star is located at 54th Street and University Avenue, and their big Thursday night and weekend entertainment schedule continues.
Coincidentally, also on Wednesday night (Sept 28th), DJ Ernie Tactay as the "iqt Music Factory" had his Grand Opening at Spin City in Chula Vista.
Here we see some of the 20 dancers in attendance, in particular Trini and Edith R in front of "Cumbia Semana" line dancers, at the Grand Opening at Spin City on Sept 28th. Dancers enjoyed lots of munchies (hors d'oeuvres). VIPs in attendance included Susan de los Santos, publisher of the Filipino Press. This Wednesday (Oct 5th), DJ Ernie will again host Ballroom and Line Dancing Spin City, 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.
