Dance - Thursday Night at Point Point Joint, Nov. 6, 2014

Hi Again Dancers ,
  It's going to be another fun DANCE PARTY this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, November 6, 2014.  This is YOUR INVITATION to be there.  The fabulous DJ Leo will be playing swing, cha cha, cumbia, tango, and many more - and of course - LINE DANCING!  Point Point will offer us dancers their delicious $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.).   So come on over - Party time:  from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.  

  Last Thursday October 30, 2014, was the HALLOWEEN COSTUME DANCE PARTY. How many were there?  I lost count about 60!!  The most in over a year.  Besides everyone having a rollicking good time dancing to the music of DJ Bing, Jake brought in delicious pancit to celebrate his birthday.  There were other snacks.  The six photos below show part of the story.         (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):

HALLOWEEN PARTY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (OCTOBER 30, 2014):

There were line dances aplenty - including non-stop from six to seven PM.    Above, it was "Bachata Risma" again, with Lou as Pocahontas and Florita as Leopard Lady in the center. 

And lots of ballroom dances.  This was Mark dancing the rumba "Acercate Mas" with Nene (as Cat Woman, I think).  

I do like pink or green-haired Filipinas.  Medy came as either Lady Gaga or Lady Pink, and here she was dancing the great cha cha "Aquardiente" with Nickie, who I think was dressed up as Gaddafi.   

For Best Costumes, the judges chose (left-to-right): Royce (as The Exterminator), Maria (as The Clown), Eva (as Wonder Woman), Gloria & Tito (as 70's Disco Dancers), and Rima (as The Rock Star). Edith awarded the prizes. 

Rima, Florita, Gloria, Lou, and Eva sang loudly and emotionally to "Bakit Pa".  (I was so curious about the display of emotion from these costumed Point Point dancers that I enlisted Edith to try to figure out what in the song prompted fists.  We concluded it was the line, "KUNG SIYA'Y HIGIT SA AKIN, NARO'N MAN ANG PAGDARAMDAM NITO AY AKING KAKAYANIN", which translates roughly as, "Even though you're leaving me, I will survive.") 

Marie dropped by with some of her Prime Ladies of San Diego to invite dancers to a Nov 21st "jam session".  In spite of my just-purchased medical "credentials", Marie declined my offer to take her pulse measurements.  But, she did allow me to dance the waltz "Could I Have This Dance" with her.


   On Thursday we had lots of fun with other ballroom dance songs like "Nikita" (night club 2-step), "Blue Tango", and "Amor Ala Mexicana" (cumbia).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "It's So Easy", "It's My Soul", and a 1st-timer - "All About That Bass" introduced by Marie.  

  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 (November 6, 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. 

  With DJ Mel Zaragoza still on "vacation" in the Philippines, here's the plan for the next few weeks at Point Point:

P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is the best ballroom dance in San Diego on Thursday nights - they are private parties, and this is your invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing in Point Point Joint Restaurant, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego.  While the dancing is continuous, 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.  Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instruction while others dance makes this the best San Diego ballroom dancing.
