Let's Party at Point Point Joint This Thursday (Feb. 27, 2014)

Hi Dancers,

  This coming Thursday February 27th there will be another jubilant dance party at Point Point Joint Restaurant, and you are invited.  Point Point will offer us dancers their yummy $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.) 

  Last Thursday (Feb 20th) was a fabulous Dance Party with about 35 dancers showing up for to enjoy the dance music of DJ Mel Zaragoza. For a change, I saw no first-timers, but there were people who had not been to Thursday night dancing at Point Point for a long time.   

  Photo Highlights from the Feb 20th 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):

Early in the evening I took some pictures of dancers doing the night club 2-step to "Woman In Love".  First of all, Nickie and Florita.

And, the venerable Bert Andrade danced the same song with Nedy.   

Across the dance floor were Liz and Boyet, who were back in Point Point after a long absence. 

I was happy to see Daisy and Lito at Point Point again.  Here they are dancing a tango, and doing a dance step that I'd like to do. 

Around 8 o'clock more or less everyone got up to dance the pretty night club 2-step "Tal Vez Quizas". Here we see Sally and Hector enjoying it.

Lu and Nickie were also dancing it.  Once again Nickie and Kelly deserved an award for "best dressed".

Even Lita and Florita danced to "Tal Vez Quizas".  I should have danced it, but I was fooling around with my camera. 

Lots of line dancing - here they're dancing to "Tonight".

About 9:30 Romy & Marilyn brought in a big box of avocados again.  By the time I got my camera most of the avocados were gone - gone in 60 seconds.

Rima and Kelly were dancing the merengue to "Me Miras".

Royce and Maria were also dancing that merengue.

Near closing time, I spotted Sally and Nickie dancing a tango.

Marilyn and Dante, both regulars at South Bay Seniors (Tooma Park), were also dancing the tango.


YOU TUBE VIDEO:  With all the various activities on Feb 20th, including Bert Alota on speakerphone, I forgot to record a video I wanted.  So, because there was so much frivolity dancing the "Road Runner" west coast swing that I'm posting this YouTube video link to the the artists' video - Microwave Dave live at a church picnic (and here's the studio recording).     

It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom dances like swing like Manila Swing (also known as 4-count hustle or Philippine swing or Filipino swing), cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (February 27th), 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 at Point Point: 

Thursday February 27th, 6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday  March 6th,    6-10pm, DJ Mel

Thursday  March 13th,   6-10pm, DJ Leo

See you on the dance floor,

Dance Party at Point Point Joint This Thursday (Feb. 20, 2014)

OK Dancers,

  This coming Thursday February 20th there will be another fabulous dance party at Point Point Joint Restaurant, and you are invited.  Point Point will offer us dancers their delicious $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.) 

  Last Thursday (Feb 13th) was a Valentine's Eve Dance Party and about 55 dancers showed up for rollicking good time, which featured the music of DJ Mel Zaragoza. I counted about 15 first-timers - people who had not been to Thursday night dancing at Point Point before.  VIPs included Susan De Los Santos, publisher of The Filipino Press, and her sister Lorna.  

  Photo Highlights from the Valentine's Eve Dance (my camera had problems - a lot of photos were out of focus):    (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):

Early on I spotted Florita and Nicky dancing. 

A while later it was busy Nicky again - this time dancing a night club 2-step with Lita. 

Across the floor, Mark was dancing with Cecile to the same song.  

The ladies really liked line dances.  Here we see them dancing to "Bachata Risma".

Lita won the Grand Prize - a big teddy bear - for the most creative attire.  She had a necklace of red blinking hearts.  Nina made the announcements.  I don't remember what I was trying to do in the photo. 

Marilyn was runner-up and Edith awarded the 2nd prize to her which was picture frames.  And, look at the fancy banner that DJ Mel had made for the party.

Rima and Kelly danced to the merengue "Tu Sonrisa".  Those two were dressed up very nicely.

Lu danced the merengue with the busiest dancer of the night, Nicky.

Hector and Sally were also dancing the "Tu Sonrisa" merengue.

Across the floor, we see Marilyn and Romy dancing to the same merengue.

And, next to them Eva and Dwayne were also dancing to "Tu Sonrisa".

Lito and Daisy popped into Point Point after about a year's absence and they too danced the merengue.  

   

YOU TUBE VIDEO:  My camera had issues, but I posted a short video of very short clips of two line dances: "Be My Baby" and "It's My Soul".  Just click on those words and the video should play (on most computers).
