Holiday Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (Dec. 26, 2013)

Hello Dancers,

   This coming Thursday December 26th will be another great Holiday Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (and yes there will be one January 2nd, too).  You are invited to attend, extend your Christmas season, and enjoy Point Point's $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  Special events include a drawing for a door prize and complementary snacks in Point Point's upper level.  (More details below.) 
  The Christmas Dance Party last Thursday (December 19th) at Point Point had close to 30 dancers enjoying the dance music of DJ Mel.  There was a lot of gift sharing, an ugly sweater contest, and Santa Romy's boxes of avocados and persimmons.   Photo Highlights from December 17th and 19th:    (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, December 17, 2013, Nina's line dancers had a Christmas dinner - and line dance party.  Above we see the happy dinner-goers.

After the Tuesday dinner, there was a lot of line dancing.  Here we see Nina's Point Point dancers trying out "Bilando Boogaloo" for the first time.  Suzanne and Hector had learned it at the 32nd Street Dance Group and were the "teachers" on Dec. 17th.  Hmmmm - compared to the YouTube video, Nina's dancers did pretty good - it looks like they just need to get those outfits that change colors while they're dancing.   Tuesday night line dancing at Point Point will resume in the New Year on January 7, 2014.

OK, now on to Thursday night's Christmas dance party (December 19th).  Here we see Romy and Josie enjoying a night club 2-step, "You Are My Shining Star".

Mark watched with interest as women grabbed up avocados that Romy had brought in.

Eva and Leo enjoyed dancing cumbia to "Amor Ala Mexicana".

Across the floor Ruben and Penny were enjoying the same cumbia dance.

A few minutes later, the night's Santa (Romy) brought in ANOTHER produce box, this time it was persimmons.  That set off another grab-fest.

The rollicking celebration continued.  Here line dancers sway to the "Bachata Risma" line dance, aka "Lamento Boliviano".

A few dances later Ly and Ruben danced cha cha to "La Ultima Noche", while some others danced the line dance.

A bit later I spotted Ly dancing again, this time to a night club 2-step with Hector.

By and by the Ugly Sweater Contestants stepped forward.  The eventual winners were Mel, Susie and Rei.

Once DJ Mel won the Contest with his candy-covered sweater, hungry dancers began ripping the pieces of candy off his sweater.    


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.  For this weeks' Holiday Party on Thursday (Dec 26), 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 December 26th 6-10pm, DJ Leo.  2nd of 3 Holiday Dance Parties with complimentary snacks and a door prize.

Thursday January  2nd  6-10pm, DJ Mel.  3rd of 3 Holiday Dance Parties with complimentary snacks and a door prize.
