Jessica Sanchez's Lola Visits Point Point: Vote for Jessica

Hello Dancers,


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCERS at Point Point were delighted by the visit of Jessica Sanchez's grandmother, Virgie Bugay along with RMX dancer Bea last night.  The two came with several vote for Jessica posters.  Jessica, a sixteen-year-old "from" Chula Vista, is now in the finals of American Idol, to be seen tonight 8-10PM on cable channel 5, (Fox 5 KSWB-TV).

In the photo, Virgie is in the red jacket and Bea is in blue, both holding the big Jessica poster.  Virgie said she will be in the audience for tonight's American Idol show.  But, Virgie hoped everyone will vote tonight for Jessica at the phone number to be announced during tonight's show.  You may vote as many times as you like.  AT&T text voting and online voting will also be available.  


iTunes is selling some of the recordings by Jessica Sanchez, including "Don't Stop The Music".


I told Virgie I know we can't get Jessica to sing for us, so would Virgie sing for us?  She said, "Maybe".


Besides Bea and Virgie, the Tuesday night regulars were delighted that Beth's daughter Suzette was at Point Point.  Suzette, pictured next to Virgie, joined the line dancing.  The dancers were very warm from dancing.




Best Wishes to You,

Caballero Reigns in April

"Caballero" continues to be the line dance favorite at Point Point.  Details below.      

Hello Dancers,

TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING at Point Point continues.  Lately, more practice on "Caballero" has been on the agenda.  "Sambalero", a new line dance by choreographer Ira Weisburd, who also choreographed "Caballero", was posted to YouTube, and the Tuesday line dancers are learning it.  To see it danced with nice style, click this link:  "Sambalero" by Caralinedancer.                          
    FOR UPCOMING TUESDAYS you can join the fun in Point Point's Ocean Java Room, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 7:00-9:00, when Nina normally leads us through fun line dances.
  

THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT continues.  As we get close to summer, DJ Leo, DJ Mel and I have been playing the music, one week one of us, next week another of us.
  Birthday Celebrations:  March 15th was a birthday celebration for DJ Leo - big cake!  May 3rd was Divine's birthday celebration - Divine brought lots of pizza!  (many photos in the albums)
  Line dances: "Caballero" line dance continues to be the favorite, usually getting played twice each night.  The ladies who pick line dances seem to be in competition to introduce new line dances - few with English lyrics!  Besides "Caballero", we've now got (click to see on YouTube) "Ballando", "Sambalero", "Acabo De Llegar" and "Havana", among others.  There's so many new ones - it's humorous.  I posted a POLL in the Group website where you can vote for which ones you think we'll still be dancing next year.
  What else?  Well, the Night Club 2-Step dances have been very popular.  Especially "Yo Te Amo" by Chayanne, "Sinta" by the Aegis Band, and "Tal Vez, Quizas" (translation: "Maybe, Perhaps") by Paulina Rubio.  Lots of Cha Cha favorites, like "Place In My Heart" by Liz Abella.  Swing, Bachata, Tango, Merengue, and Waltz like "Right Thing We Do" waltz line dance are all well liked.  Attendance has been steady between 30 to 45 each Thursday night.      
  We say "come on down" to dance and get some great food at Point Point every Thursday night.  Where:  On the main floor at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.   Non-Stop 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.
  McDini's Restaurant at 105 East 8th Street, National City, is now featuring Friday night dancing with DJ Joler Advincula from roughly 8pm-midnight.  Here's an idea, shop all Friday next door at Eva's Fashion Boutique, 115 East 8th Street, eat dinner in McDini's, then dance till midnight.
