It's the big Christmas Dance Party this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, Dec. 18, 2014, featuring prizes for Best Dressed and an Ugliest Sweater Contest, complementary snacks and much more. This is YOUR INVITATION to be there. The spectacular DJ Bing will play 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 - it's the last Thursday night there until January 8th - Party time: from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.
Last Thursday December 11, 2014, the great DJ Mel was back again, maybe his last time for many weeks. Again there were almost 40 dancers enjoying a great night of fun & dancing. 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):
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.
Here's the plan for the next few weeks at Point Point:

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are the best ballroom dances (and best line dances) 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 swing dancing lessons in San Diego.
