We guys preferred the ballroom dances.  Above, Medy and DJ Nickie enjoyed dancing to a tango. 

"Carinito" line dance continues to be a favorite.  Above, Esther, Belen and Rei were in the front line.

Above, two VIP dancers, Brian and JoJo, danced to a salsa.

Back to line dancing - Above it was another long-time favorite, "Caballero" with Edith, Eva and Rei in the front line.

Cameras were clicking all the time.  Above, the dancers tried to sit still for a group photo. 

Above, Edith R was in front dancing the "Blurred Lines" line dance. 

Above, my Edith and Gino danced to "La Cumparsita" tango.

Above, Eva and Dwayne were also dancing to the tango.

Back to line dancing, Dolores and Beth were in the front dancing to the relatively new line dance "Price Tag".

Another line dance - Evelyn and JoJo were in front dancing to "Let's Get Loud".


 This'll be a fun Halloween dance party.  Most every Thursday night dancing  - It will be a dance at Four Points by Sheraton, 8110 Aero Drive (Kearny Mesa, San Diego) 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.   

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

Thursday  October 29, 2015  6-10pm, HALLOWEEN PARTY, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  November 5, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  November 12, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  November 19, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

See you on the dance floor,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing at Four Points by Sheraton in San Diego, 8110 Aero Drive - they are private parties, and this is your invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing.  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 basic steps of a particular dance.  Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instructions while others are dancing make these, for example, the best free bachata lessons in San Diego.

And nearby, Elsie and Ping were also dancing to the boogie.

Dolores and Carlos also danced to "Reet Petite".

Above, it was one of the dozens of picture-taking sessions during the party, with two Ediths and Dione in front and DJ Bing in back.  I hear there is a blizzard of photos on dancers' Facebook pages.

Back to dancing, Ly and Ruben danced the gentle swing "You'll Never Find".

And, Bert Alota and Suzanne were as happy as they could be.

Eden and Tito enjoyed a dance, too.

Rima and Carlos had fun dancing to a cha cha.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT FOUR POINTS, 8110 AERO DRIVE (OCTOBER 8, 2015)

Plenty of line dances, including free line dance lessons and line dancing non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  Above, we were "borracho y loco" with the "Bachata Risma" line dance, with Gloria and Medy in front.  Medy said we should call the new venue "Four Point Joint (FPJ)".

A while later, it was "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", with Lou, Nina and Medy in front.

We guys preferred the ballroom dances.  Above, Ruben and Dolores danced to a cha cha.

And nearby, Virgil and Cora were also dancing to the cha cha.

Above, DJ Bing's banner said, "There are Shortcuts to Happiness, and Dancing is one of Them."

Above, "Carinito" was a line dance favorite.

There was dancing fun till closing time.  Above, it was "Uptown Funk", with Evelyn, Lou, Dolores and Medy in front.

Thursday Night Dance (Oct 8) at Four Points - Maybe!!

Hi Dancers,
  Save this Thursday Oct. 8, 2015, from 6pm - 10pm for party dancing! 

  1.   Four Points by Sheraton at 8110 Aero Drive in Kearny Mesa is offering something for us for Thursday night dancing.  Nick Enriquez and I are scheduled to learn the details tomorrow (Monday) morning at 10am at Four Points.  

  (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):

Above is a photo from a few years ago, dancing in Four Points.


  I'll confirm by email to you tomorrow (Monday) what the plan for Thursday night is.   


  2.  Kings Hall, 3993 54th Street, San Diego.  Eddie at Kings Hall told me to stop by with $400 and we can have our Thursday night dance in Kings Hall.  That will work in case Four Points' offer is not that good.  Kings Hall is under the Crystal Palace (formerly Lucky Star) roof.

Above is a photo outside of the Kings Hall & Restaurant.



NOT LIKELY (at this time):

1.  Mira Mesa Senior Center, 8460 Mira Mesa Blvd., San Diego. DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., is the Fil-Am "coordinator".  New hurdles to dancing there came up during the past seven days.  Nickie said a director wants a Dance Plan - I'm apparently the 1st person to have ever been told to submit a plan for a dance there.  I did submit it, but it may languish in perpetuity, lost in an In Box somewhere.  The "Board of Directors" may consider the dance request next week.  Other drawbacks of the Mira Mesa Sr. Center now are (a) schedule and price (it was 1st said to be $3 per person) is not firm, and (b) it is about 10 miles north (15 minute's drive) from the Four Points by Sheraton. 

2.  Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.  Point Point Joint, where Thursday Nights at Point Point Joint went on for about 5 years until Sept 10th, drops to "Not Likely" due to no communication.  



A NEW CONSIDERATION:

Beach Club Pavilion at Eastlake I Community Association, 2050 Lakeshore Dr, Chula Vista, CA 91913.  Ruben seems to have worked through the details of holding Thursday night dances there.  Well, at least I have a 6-page "Agreement" and Rules for its use.  Main drawback: It's a few miles east of 805 in Chula Vista.




VERY DOUBTFUL:

Issues with Cora Anderson Dance Studio, 8990 Miramar Road, San Diego, and 660 V Avenue, Paraiso Condominiums & Apartments, National City, were covered in my Sept 27th email.  



ALMOST CERTAINLY "NO":

Dance For 2, 7528 Clairement Mesa Blvd., San Diego.  Big dance studio, with a/c.  Thursday nights are now used by an Israeli Folk Dance group, according to a contact at Dance For 2.  Edith & I went there Wednesday.  Ballroom lesson 7:30-8pm.  Then, "Social dancing" till 10:30pm.  We talked to a couple dancers who occasionally went to Thursday nights at Point Point Joint.  But, the exacting steps to exotic dances such as Viennese Waltz, and times are not compatible with our dance partying.    

Issues with Synergy Dance Zone, Kimball Senior Center, Tita's II (formerly Jestoni Bistro and Manila-Tokyo Restaurant), and 32nd Street - ADM Robinson Recreation Center, were covered in my Sept 20th and 27th emails.   

- - - - - - - - - - 

I'll e-mail. more info tomorrow (Monday Oct. 5th, 2015).

Please call with your ideas and preferences,
Bert & Edith
