Thank You and Goodbye - to Point Point Joint

Hi Dancers - It Was Fun While It Lasted,

  "That's all folks" after five years of Thursday nights at Point Point Joint.  Last month we gave our "Thank You's" to Lydia for letting us dance there on Thursday nights.  Several possible other places to have mid-week ballroom and line dancing at night in San Diego were discussed last Thursday night at Point Point Joint, so evaluations are underway.  Till then, other places catering to Fil-Am dancers day & night 7 days a week are listed on:  Upcoming Events.      

 Last Thursday September 10, 2015, was HOT!  The hottest night of the year with the temperature inside Point Point Joint over 90 degrees.  Nevertheless, DJ Bing Villafuerte played every cool song he had, and 35 dancers had a lot of fun at what now seems to have been our last night in Point Point Joint.  The six photos below tell 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 (THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2015):

Ladies enjoyed lots of line dances, again non-stop from 6 to 7pm.   Above it was Edith, Nora and Hillary in front dancing "Let Your Love Flow"



Next it was Rei, Dolores, Sally and Manolo in front dancing the line dance  "La Ultima Noche" ("last night" - how appropriate!). 



We guys preferred the ballroom dances.  We got to dance the swing or hustle "Ex's and Oh's" before it becomes a line dance.  Above, Lou and Romy enjoyed dancing to it.  



Hillary and Nedy were looking for partners to dance to it.  Let me set the camera down.  Hillary owns Hillary's Beauty salon in the same plaza as Point Point. 



Beth and  Nick also enjoyed dancing to "Ex's and Oh's" (hmmm - Point Point is now our "ex").  



I got to dance rumba and cha cha with Neriza, one of the first-timers who came in for the final Thursday night dance, and who said she had just returned to San Diego after spending a couple years in the Philippines.  She assured me that the Philippines is NOT hotter than Point Point Joint.


Here is a plan for late September & on - Some of us continue looking for a suitable place for mid-week night-time ballroom & line dancing.  Places from Chula Vista all the way to Mira Mesa have been talked about.  More details next week.

See you on the dance floor,
