TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCERS AT POINT POINT JOINT (DECEMBER 23, 2014):

Nina's Dancers had a big pot luck Christmas Dinner.  "Thank you" to Beth for providing the table and chair clothes.

A while later, several of the dancers participated in a gift exchange.

Once the dancing got underway, DJ Bing played the music.  Above the dancers were dancing to the long-time favorite, "Asi Asi".

In the holiday spirit, the Tuesday night dancers danced to "Feliz Navidad".


  Here's the plan for the next few weeks at Point Point:  

Thursday  January 1, 2015    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  NO DANCE

Thursday  January 8, 2015    6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday  January 15, 2015   6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte, 858-610-7514

Thursday  January 22, 2015   6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte, 858-610-7514


See you on the dance floor,
Bert & Edith
619-224-3095 

P.S. Other Notes: (1) When we resume Thursdays on Jan. 8, 2015, this is the best Filipino-American dancing in San Diego.  This is dancing 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 one-on-one 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, for example, the best cumbia dancing lessons in San Diego.

Christmas Party Was Fun!! 2 Weeks Off Until Thursday Jan. 8, 2015

Hi Dancers - It Was a Big Party!!
   Nina's Tuesday Night Line Dancers will dance in Point Point twice before our next Thursday night dance party:  Tuesday Dec. 23, 2014, for their Christmas Dance Party, and after only Dec 30th OFF, they dance again Tuesday Jan. 6, 2015.  Tuesday night dance time:  from 6pm until 9pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.

   The big Christmas Dance Party this past Thursday night at Point Point Joint, featured The Filipino Elvis of San Diego, plus the fabulous DJ Bing, prizes for Best Costume and an Ugliest Sweater Contest, complementary snacks and much more.  And, over 55 dancers had a joyous time.  There was A LOT GOING ON - so much that I could not follow it all - the ten 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):

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (DECEMBER 18, 2014):

As always, line dances were a big part of the night, including non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  Above, dancers were enjoying "All I Want For Christmas Is You", using the steps of "Mamma Maria".

GONE IN 60 SECONDS.  Romy (of Romy & Marilyn fame) brought in a big box of delicious avocados - the ensuing frenzy emptied the box in 60 seconds.

Tony & Marilou came back to Point Point for the Christmas Dance Party.  Above, we see them dancing to "Careless Whisper" night club 2-step.

Next to them, Florita and Romy (not avocado Romy, but the another Romy) were also dancing to "Careless Whisper".

THE CHRISTMAS TREE!!  When Eva, The Christmas Tree, walked in - it was a given - she'd win the Most Festive Costume prize.  

The Filipino Elvis of San Diego, Romy Maraya (the 3rd Romy at the party), did a medley of Elvis songs - I think this was "Hound Dog" - to the delight of a bevy of beautiful dancers behind him.

Carlos kindly brought some of RMX Dancers' All-Stars to the dance.  Above, I spotted him dancing with one of the RMX'ers, Lulu, to "Dance With Me".  Nina reminded us of the gala New Year’s Eve Dinner/Dance sponsored by RMX at the Four Points by the Sheraton, 8110 Aero Drive, San Diego.  RMX's Esta (858-761-6774) was at Point Point, too.

Next to Carlos & Lulu I saw Heidi dancing to "Dance With Me" with Ruben.  I think they used cha cha steps.

I was fortunate to get to dance with Heidi's sister, Mildred, who was visiting from North Caroline.  Above, we were dancing to a Waltz Line Dance, "Could I Have This Dance."

THE PRIZE WINNERS.  Edith and Nina awarded prizes. Left to right:  Ruben won the Men's Ugliest Sweater.  Edith.  Eva, The Christmas Tree, won the Women's Most Festive Costume.  Rei won the Women's Ugliest Sweater.  DJ Mel won the  Men's Most Festive Costume.  And, Nina.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (DECEMBER 11, 2014):

DJ Mel started really early - the line dancing was in full swing by 5:30, so we had about an hour and a half of non-stop line dancing up till about 7pm.  Above it was "Mamita Mia" with Tito and Penny in front.  Some others were:  "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", "Beguine Per Sognare", and "Mary's Boy Child" using the steps of "Electric Slide".

I think guys like me preferred the ballroom dances.  Above DJ Mel danced "La Cumparsita" tango with Penny.

We had cumbias.  Above it was Gloria and Florita dancing to "Amor Ala Mexicana" cumbia.

Mel (the other Mel, not the DJ) was dancing with Nedy to the boogie "Let's Have A Party".

Meanwhile, I got to dance with Jinnie, also to "Let's Have A Party".

About closing time we had a WALTZ LINE DANCE.  Above we see Nene and Jake in front next to Nedy and DJ Mel.


TUESDAY NIGHTS - NINA & FRIENDS' LINE DANCING:

Backing up a couple days to Tuesday December 9th, there were a dozen line dancers enjoying Tuesday night line dancing at Point Point Joint.  Some I'd never met before.  Who was there?  Well, left to right it was Lita, Beth, Emma, Ann, May, Belen, DJ Bing, Nora, Baby, Nina, Rei, and Edith. Nina and Friends's Tuesday night line dancing will continue:  This coming Tuesday December 16th, and on December 23rd for a Christmas Party. 


  It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night (well, OK, not Christmas or New Year's Day) 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 week's dance party on Thursday (December 18, 2014), Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual will offer their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.
