Hello Dancers,
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING at Point Point - As the ladies dance their way towards the end of the year, they have really been enthusiastic about line dances that are relatively new to Nina's line dancers, "Almost Jamaica", "I'm Alive" and "There's a Kind of Hush". And, I must mention the seasonal favorite "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". "It's My Soul" and "Rivers Of Babylon" line dances, both introduced to Nina's group in 2011, also got lots of practice in the past few weeks. Some of those dances were also performed as special demonstrations in some of the holiday parties around town over the past few weeks.
FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS (like Dec 20th and Dec 27th and into January). Speaking of holiday parties, this Tuesday Dec 20th will be Nina's line dancers' Christmas party, perhaps featuring more food and laughter than dancing. In any case, you can join the fun in Point Point's Ocean Java Room, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina normally leads us through fun line dances.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT. Our thoughts and prayers go with Penny and Leo as they are off to the Philippines in the wake of the passing of Penny's brother. With disastrous flooding in Mindanao in the past few days, it's not the best time to go to the Philippines. Meanwhile, on the dance floor at Point Point on Thursdays, dancers have been enjoying line dances, swing, cha cha, salsa, bachata, merengue, waltz and more, with about 25 in attendance each Thursday. The night club 2-step dances "Sinta" and "Yo Te Amo" continue to be top favorites. Line dancers clamor for "Almost Jamaica", which is relatively new to Thursday nights. The beautiful rumba "Esta Noche" and the hip hop "Family Affair" have been well-received lately.
CHRISTMAS DANCE at Point Point this Thursday (Dec 22nd), so wear your festive holiday dancing clothes. As I fill in as DJ for Leo, we invite you to dance on Thursdays at Point Point probably every Thursday into January, i.e, December 22nd, Dec 29th, Jan 5th, and on. Where: On the main floor at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City. Party dancing: 6:00-10 PM.
FRIDAY NIGHT DANCING: There are about five almost-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 (see my comment about that website below).
PHOTOS. With a camera working nicely last week, all 3 of these are from Dec 15th (if these 3 photos do not pop up, click "Show Images" near top of this email):
First of all, we see line dancers like Celia, Marylou and Penny in front on … What was it? Maybe "Acabo De Llegar" salsa line dance on Thursday December 15th at Point Point.
Next, we see Rei dancing with Bert Ignacio (I think), maybe to a night club 2-step, again on Thursday Dec 15th.
Then, around 8:45pm there were several dancers enjoying what seems to be "Family Affair" hip hop song.
I put those three photos plus 20 other photos from the past week in the ForeverYoungSD Yahoo Group Photos section into the '2011 December' folder. For those of you who prefer the big screen image quality and other features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at

You can download photos from both locations. Using another Picasa feature, you can order prints on-line out of a Picasa album from several print providers including Walgreens without the need to download & upload photo files to & from your computer. To see the photo file names in Picasa Web, left click on a photo in the "gallery" view (not in the "slideshow").

Click here for WEEKLY & UPCOMING DANCE EVENTS INFORMATION, which is a new website, in case you had saved the old website as a favorite. Cox MIS-Communications abruptly ended the hosting of websites early this month without notifying me. My Upcoming Dance Events Info suddenly was off the Internet. I'm now recreating the Info page on a new website.
Any information corrections or additions are appreciated. To e-mail to only me, type in bertdonaldson_1@yahoo.com on "To" line.
