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).   

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), cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (February 20th), 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 20th, 6-10pm, DJ Leo

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

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


See you on the dance floor,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) The Thursday night dance parties are private parties, and this is the invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing in Point Point Restaurant, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego.  There are dancers who are happy to give free dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.
