THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (JULY 24, 2014):

I counted 28 line dances during the night, with 14 of them non-stop in the 6pm - 7pm period.  Besides more familiar ones like "Carinito" and "Cowboy Cumbia", the surprise favorite of the night was "It's So Easy" - relatively new to Point Point.  Above you see Mona and Edith R in front on "It's So Easy".  

Here Gloria and Tito were enjoying a night club 2-step.  

At the same time, Medy and Nickie were enjoying the night club 2-step.  I think it was Medy's first time to be at Thursday night at Point Point Joint.  

The big event of the night was a celebration of Lydia's birthday.  We thanked Lydia, who is holding flowers next to her friends and relatives in the photo above, for allowing our dance parties for several years now.

Nickie and Penny had fun dancing to the boogie "Bop To Be". 

Florita and Ruben were also dancing to "Bop To Be".

Cora Anderson was there, too.  After she invited us to the Fil-Am Unity Group's dance party, I got to dance with her.  


  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' HAWAIIAN NIGHT Dance Party on Thursday (July 31, 2014), 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.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (JULY 17, 2014):

It was pretty much non-stop line dancing from 6 until 7pm.  During the party, I got to hear my favorites singers, the Sparx, as both their "Carinito" and "Bajo La Luna" were played twice.  The photo above shows Penny and my Edith in front on "Let's Groove Tonight". 

Suzanne led a solemn remembrance and prayer for the nearly 300 victims of Malaysia Airlines flight #17 who were enroute from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  That plane had been tragically shot down earlier Thursday by Russians in a Ukrainian border town.   

Here Estrelle danced with Romy Maraya - I think it was a samba.  Romy is San Diego's Fil-Am Elvis impersonator. 

A little later Solly was dancing a night club 2-step with Bert Alota.

Then I saw Jake enjoying dancing a cumbia with Nene.

Susie and DJ Mel seemed happy and refreshed after their "vacation". Mel graciously took on the DJ job last Thursday.  Here they were dancing to the boogie "Bop To Be".
