Dance Party This Thursday at Point Point Joint (July 30, 2015)

Hi Dancers,
  We'll party again this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 30, 2015.  The fabulous DJ Mel Zaragoza will be playing swing, cha cha, rumba, and much more - and of course - LINE DANCING - which has been non-stop from 6-7pm lately.  This is your invitation to join the party from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.  

  Wow!!  Last Thursday July 23, 2015, was an incredible HAWAIIAN NIGHT with 75 dancers partying with DJ Bing Villafuerte!  There were lots of complementary snacks and chicharon.  Coping with camera problems, we got the fourteen photos below to tell part of a very busy 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 (HAWAIIAN NIGHT, JULY 23, 2015):

There were many line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, it was "Bachata Risma" with Heidi, Nene and Lou in front.  And Romy in white singing along to "borracho y loco" and "te amo siempre".

Ruben and Dolores looked good dancing the cumbia "Amor Ala Mexicana".

Ly & Jerry also looked good also dancing to the cumbia.

Romy Maraya and Eva (in front above) had the best Hawaiian attire.  Romy, backed by a bevy of beauties, put on a great HAWAIIAN NIGHT show with songs like "Igiling Giling" and "Let's Groove Tonight". 

The samba "Bailando" got several dancers up, including Ping and Elsie above.

There were many first-timers, including Rosie who danced above with Lito.

At the same time, DJ Nickie and Reyllen were also dancing to the samba "Bailando".

Lulu and Esta, dancing stars of the RMX Dance Group, performed a very nice dance for us.  Esta and Lulu brought some other RMX dancers to Point Point for the first time.  Esta was another Hawaiian attire prize winner.

We celebrated Lydia's birthday.  Lydia, the owner-manager of Point Point Joint, is looking forward to retirement in about a month.

The last 30 minutes were busy.  Line dances included "Carinito" above, with Ping and Nora in front. 

Above, Nina announced Cely as the WINNER of a MICROWAVE OVEN donated by Nick Enriquez!  Cely was one of two winning raffle ticket holders of those who bought Point Point's $10 dinner special. 

Nick and Eden also donated the Grand Prize, a MINI REFRIGERATOR, won by Esther (Esther's in the green & pink dress)!  Someone called Esther back to Point Point after her raffle ticket was drawn as the winning ticket. 

The ladies' enthusiasm was at full volume as they sang along to the he-did-her-wrong song "Bakit Pa".  Just after the photo was snapped, DJ Bing brought over microphones so everyone could hear their voices.

After closing time, most of the lingering HAWAIIAN NIGHT dancers huddled for a group photo.

 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 week's Dance Party on Thursday (July 30, 2015), 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:  

Thursday  July 30, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Mel Zaragoza, 619-494-8692

Thursday  August 6, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  August 13, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., 858-775-0139

Thursday  August 20, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Mel Zaragoza, 619-494-8692

See you on the dance floor,
Bert & Edith

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego - 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 one-on-one dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.  Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instructions while others are dancing make these, for example, the best cumbia lessons in San Diego.

Hawaiian Night Dance Party This Thursday at Point Point Joint (July 23, 2015)

Hi Fun-Loving Dancers,
  Let's wear Hawaiian attire this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 23, 2015.  There will be prizes, special numbers and complementary snacks.  Dancers who buy the $10 Point Point dinner special will be in a raffle for a mini refrigerator and microwave oven donated by Nick Enriquez!!  Special numbers and a best attire prize are still TBD.  DJ Bing Villafuerte will be playing swing, cha cha, rumba, and much more - and of course - LINE DANCING - which has been non-stop from 6-7pm lately.  This is your invitation to come to Hawaiian Night - It may be the last Thursday night theme party at Point Point because the owner-manager Lydia hopes to be out of the business by September.  So come on over - Party time:  from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.

  Last Thursday July 16, 2015, DJ Nickie Bascos had over 40 joyful dancers for his Thursday night debut.  The seven photos below tell part of a very busy 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 (JULY 16, 2015):

The many line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm, delighted the ladies, including "Carinito" above, with Lou, Edith, Medy and Nora in front.

Early in the evening, a surprise VIP 1st-timer, the Deputy Mayor of National City, Jerry Cano stopped by, enjoyed the Point Point dinner, and he danced many of the line dances.  We had to get a group photo with him.  Deputy Mayor Cano is in the brown shirt between Bert Andrade and Nina.

Of course we guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Dolores and Carlos enjoying a rumba called "Historia de un Amor".

A while later, Ruben and Lou had fun dancing to another rumba called "Sin Ti".  

When I saw Marilyn and Rima in attractive yellow and coral-colored attire, I had to get a photo of them.

There were some 1st-timers at Thursday night at Point Point Joint, and I was fortunate enough to get to dance a rumba with Marcela.

The ladies' energy was boundless.  It kept building right up until closing time when Nickie played "Let's Twist Again".  These ladies had spirit!  

 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 week's Hawaiian Night Dance Party on Thursday (July 23, 2015), 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.

Hello Wonderful Dancers,
  It'll be another fun dance party this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 16, 2015.  Nickie Bascos, who has been doing DJ work at the Mira Mesa Senior Center recently, will be DJ'ing his first Thursday night at Point Point Joint playing swing, cha cha, rumba, and much more - and of course - LINE DANCING - which has been non-stop from 6-7pm lately.  This is your invitation to join the party.  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 July 9, 2015, DJ Mel Zaragoza played to over 40 happy dancers.  The following eight photos below tell part of the very busy 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 (JULY 9, 2015):

Romy & Marilyn were the stars of the night, in my opinion.  Early in the evening, Romy brought in a big box of sweet pink grapefruit.  Above Nita, Eden, Edith and Estrelle were helping to quickly empty the box.

Once again, there were plenty of line dances, especially non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, Nora and Elsie were in front on "Bachata Risma". 

A couple hours later Eva and two Ediths were in front for "Uptown Funk". 

Of course we guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Nora and Dione dancing a cumbia. 

At the same time, Elsie and Joe were also dancing the cumbia.  I want to ask Joe how to dance that move he was doing.

Around nine o'clock Romy treated the dancers AGAIN!  Above we see him setting a big box of AVOCADOS on the table!  

And WOW!  In spite of Nina pleading, "Only 2 each", those avocados were grabbed up so fast that the box was emptied in 15 SECONDS!!  

A little later it was "Let's Twist Again", with Nick and Edith in front, and Dwayne & Eva behind them.  I have to ask Eva how she managed to dance the TWIST in those high heeled shoes.


 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 week's Dance Party on Thursday (July 16, 2015), 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.

  Last Thursday July 2, 2015, was the RED WHITE & BLUE Dance with DJ Bing Villafuerte and DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., playing to 40 colorful dancers.  The following nine photos below tell part of the very busy 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 (JULY 2, 2015, RED WHITE & BLUE Night):

Once again, line dances were in abundance, especially non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, a little after 7pm 'Carinito' dancers included Nora and Elsie. 

The guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Ly and Jerry - his Boy Scout outfit won a costume prize later in the night.  They were dancing the salsa "Ave Maria Lola".

Then, the floor was packed for the night club two-step "Sinta", including Ray and Elsie above. 

Above, "Almost Jamaica" dancers with Edith in front.

Then we recorded a YouTube video of "Under The Boardwalk":

In the above YouTube video, DJ Mel Zaragoza choreographed these steps to "Under The Boardwalk" with his sister Carolina Herrera who lives in New Jersey.  NOTE - the first 15 seconds of this video are the end of "Uptown Funk" line dance.  DJ Mel leads the steps in the front row.  Next to him are Nedy and Nene.  Others dancing in the video:  Elsie, Josie, Eva, Estrelle, Lou, Edith, Merci, Marilyn, Rima, Nora, and Eden.

Ruben and Rima danced to the cumbia "Maldito Corazon".

Romy Maraya, San Diego's Filipino Elvis, treated everyone to something different - he sang "Long Live America" in honor of Independence Day. (Camera wasn't focused.)

Congratulations to the many RED WHITE & BLUE Night attire prize winners: Tito & Gloria, Dolores, Eva & Dwayne (with Nina in between), and Jerry Sattler in his well-preserved Boy Scout leader uniform.  Edith is on right.

Picture taking went on way past closing time.  Too many to name in the photo above, except for Patty and Manoro in front.

The crowd parted way so I could get a picture of DJ Nickie Bascos and DJ Bing Villafuerte who were trying to pack up their equipment. 


 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 week's Dance Party on Thursday (July 9, 2015), 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.
