Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (December 5th, 2013)




Hello Dancers,

   This coming Thursday December 5th will be a great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below). 
  Dancing at Point Point this past week (Thanksgiving week) was pretty much only on Tuesday night when Nina's line dancers held a Pre-Thanksgiving Dance Party from 6 to 9PM.        
   Photo Highlights from Tuesday November 26th (Nina's line dancers Pre-Thanksgiving Party):     (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "Show images which are still blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):


On Tuesday night, November 26th, besides a lot of food, the dancers (like Beth & Nedy in front here dancing "Bachata Risma") enjoyed line dancing.


A bit later, 14 of the Tuesday night line dancers posed for a group picture. 



  It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  This coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers. 

  Here's the plan for the next several weeks:

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (November 21st, 2013)

Hello Dancers,

   This Thursday November 21st will be a great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   The dance party last Thursday (November 14th) at Point Point has fewer people than usual - 15 dancers.  Besides dancing, we all got to talk to each other about things like last week's Typhoon Haiyan (aka Typhoon Yolanda), and what our jobs are.          

   Photo Highlights from November 12th and 14th:     (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "Show images which are still blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):


On Tuesday November 12th, Nina's line dancers numbered ten at Point Point - nine are in this photo. 


On Thursday Nov 14th, with so few guys, line dances were popular, especially "Blurred Lines" again. 


The people who were there on the 14th seemed to be dancing a lot.  Here we see newcomer Noel dancing with Cecile.


A while later Mark danced with Cecile.  With the seniors mostly at other events, Mark and I turned out to be the only retirees in Point Point that night.      


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  This coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (November 14th, 2013)




Hello Dancers,
   This Thursday November 14th will be a great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (November 7th) was a bit less festive than normal because the big news was that Typhoon Haiyan (aka Typhoon Yolanda) was smashing into Leyte, Samar and other islands.  Some people were getting news updates on their iPhones.  Unfortunately, the outcome turned out to be a lot worse than we expected.  Some San Diego groups are now participating in relief activities.  Our prayers are for the victims and their families and friends.
   Nevertheless, over 30 dancers showed up at Point Point to enjoy dancing to the music of DJ Mel.             

   Photo Highlights from November 5th and 7th:     (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "Show images which are still blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):



On Tuesday November 5th, Nina's line dancers at Point Point enjoyed dancing to "Brand New Slide" and about 20 other line dances.


There were close to 20 people altogether on Tuesday Nov 5th - we celebrated Beth's birthday with lots of food like pandit, fried chicken and cake of course. 


On Thursday Nov 7th, the line dances were popular, especially "Blurred Lines" - the dancers were dancing that one in this photo. 


A little later, Jack and Lu danced to one of my favorites - "Mi Bom Bon".  Most people danced it as a salsa.


Here we see "Bachata Risma" dancers with Vilma and Rima in front around closing time.  


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  This coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers. 

  Here's the plan for the next several weeks: 


Thursday November 14th 6-10pm, DJ Bert. With DJ Mel and DJ Leo out to other parties, I'll be the DJ this Thursday.
Thursday November 21st 6-10pm, DJ Leo
Thursday November 28th - No dance, it's THANKSGIVING
Thursday December 5th  6-10pm, DJ Mel
Thursday December 12th 6-10pm, DJ Leo

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (November 7th)

Hello Dancers,

   This Thursday November 7th will be a great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (October 31st) was the Halloween Costume Dance Party with over 50 dancers at Point Point, with dance music by DJ Leo.  Besides lots of great costumes, there were VIP visitors and some first-timers.  And Holy Smoke! My partner in starting this email group back in 2009, Art Buangan showed up in costume with his wife, and he took and posted two YouTube videos of the night's events. One of Art's YouTube videos is this:  Video of Award of Best Costume Prizes - the judges gathered up enough prizes to give four awards!  The other video, a more fuzzy video (maybe due to darkness) is: Video of Blurred Lines on Oct 31.  
   What else?  A lot was going on.  Nina Anson brought the former mayor of Cavite City, Philippines, Ohmee Ramos.  Lots of complimentary snacks.           

   Photo Highlights from October 31st Halloween Costume Dance Party:     (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "Show images which are still blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):


Here we see Bert A and Mona dip while dancing a tango. 


And later, there was another tango and I saw Beth dancing it with DJ Leo.


Across the floor, dancing to the same tango were Pirate Hector and Lady Marilou. 


And, at the same time, Suzanne was dancing the tango with former Cavite mayor Ohmee Ramos.


A little bit later, Pirates Sally and Hector were dancing a bachata.


And across the floor, Batwoman Rima was dancing to the same bachata with Ruben.



You can see the video of the whole best costume awards ceremony, but here we see "Wicked Queen" Edith giving Best Animal Costume Prize to Catwoman Eva.


And here are all the Costume Contest winners:  Best Couple Costume is Mr & Mrs Zorro (DJ Mel and Susie); Best Super Hero Costume is Batwoman Rima; Catwoman Eva; and Best Costume Special Prize is Maid Susan.


At the end of the night, we see the "Wobble" dancers with Vilma and Sherry in front.  


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  This coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers. 

  Here's the plan for the next few weeks: 


Thursday  November 7th 6-10pm, DJ Mel
