Wear-Your-Shorts Dance Party at Point Point Joint this Thursday Night May 22, 2014

OK You Dance Party People,

  It'll be a lot cooler this coming Thursday May 22, 2014, than last Thursday May 15, 2014, when besides the fires in North County it was warm in Point Point Joint.  That inspired folks to designate this coming Thursday as Wear Shorts Night on the dance floor.  This is your invitation to join in the fun & frolic from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, National City.  The incredible DJ Mel Zaragoza will be playing swing, cha cha, cumbia, tango, and many more - and of course - LINE DANCING!  Point Point will offer us dancers their fabulous $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.) 

  Last Thursday May 15, 2014, was fun with about 30 dancers in Point Point Joint.  See info about our brand new YOU TUBE video recorded Thursday below.  These eight pictures below tell some of the story about last week.      (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):

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (May 15th):

Here you see that I got to dance a Manila swing with Edith R.

DJ Mel Zaragoza has been teaching the "Carinito" cumbia line dance for a few weeks.  Here Florita and Lita are in front dancing it.  (I notice that the singers, Sparx, also sing another of our favorites, "Esta Noche".)

"Blurred Lines" continues to be a favorite line dance, as you can see. 

Like I said, it was hot last Thursday.  So, they danced to "Disco Inferno".  Bert, Suzanne & Nedy in front. 

The master of the dip, Bert Alota, dips Suzanne during "Hernando's Hideaway" tango. 

Ruben and Florita were dancing up a storm to "Cumbia de la Cobra".   (I see that cute cumbia is by Fito Olivares, who also recorded a former Point Point favorite, "Cumbia Semana".)

Well, two of the VIPs last Thursday, Kelly Medina and Nene, were looking mighty good dancing the beautiful rumba dance "Esta Noche".

Just about closing time and Lita and Florita were still dancing.  


NEW YOU TUBE VIDEO RECORDED MAY 15th - "Beguine Per Sognare Line Dance"

This line dance to the rumba music of "Beguine Per Sognare" was shown to Nina's line dancers in March by Dante of the South Bay Terraces Seniors Assn.  I say, "Thank you" to the dozen or so people who danced it last Thursday for this video. 

  It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point Joint with line dances and ballroom dances like swing including 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 (May 15th), 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:
