Merry Christmas! plus Photos from Dec 17th

Merry Christmas Everyone!
   No dance this coming Thursday night at Point Point Joint - it's  Christmas Eve.  We'll skip New Years Eve, too, and resume Jan. 7th.   

  Last Thursday December 17, 2015, was a big Christmas Dance Party with several first-timers, prizes for most festive attire, Point Point's delicious food buffet, lots of complimentary snacks, and DJ Bing Villafuerte.  With close to 50 people in the Joint, there was a lot going on! The 8 photos below tell only 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):


CHRISTMAS PARTY THURSDAY DECEMBER 17, 2015 AT POINT POINT JOINT:

Line Dances galore, non-stop from 6pm till 7pm.  Above, Sisi, Beth and Nina were in front line dancing "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree".

Ballroom Dances - that's what most of us guys preferred, like above it was Mark and first-timer lovely Lily dancing the rumba "Besame Mucho".

Cumbia.  Above, also in brilliant red, it was Neriza dancing "Cumbia" with Lito. 

Food Frenzy.  About 8pm, Romy & Marilyn brought in boxes of goodies.  Above, a big box of persimmons was emptied in 60 seconds.  A box of avocados was put under the table - it was emptied in 30 seconds!!

Winners.  Well, everyone was looking good, but judges picked the above 6 to get prizes.  Left to right:  Heidi, Esther (who's still on loan here from North Carolina), Eva, Dwayne, Evelyn and Rei.

Borracho Y Loco.  Above, line dancers loved "Bachata Risma" all year.  It's probably the year-end favorite.  Lito, Nene and Sisi were in the front line above.

Group Photo.  Near closing time, most dancers lined up for a group photo.  Guys in front:  Mel Zaragoza, Ruben, Jake, Dwayne, Romy and Herbert.

Lydia Returned.  Another highlight of the night was Lydia, Point Point's former owner-manager, who dropped by with an ice cream Christmas cake.  After the cake was eaten, I got to dance a swing with Lydia.


Hoping to see you on the dance floor January 7th,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun parties of line dancing and ballroom dancing 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.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego - they are considered private parties, and this is your invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing in Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego, next on Thursday January 7, 2016.  While the dancing is continuous at these dances, in case you do not know the easy steps used for a particular dance, ask me & I'll get someone to give you a free dance lesson while the music plays.
