New Year Dance this Thursday Jan 7th! plus 2015 photo Highlights (Part 2)

Happy New Year Everyone!
   Let's welcome 2016 this coming Thursday night Jan. 7, 2016, at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, with complimentary snacks, buffet line food from $5, and $10 to enter.  This is your invitation to the party:  Non-stop line dancing from 6pm - 7pm, and mixed ballroom (swing, cha cha, rumba, salsa, etc., etc.), plus line dancing from 7pm - 10pm.  The weather may be cool & moist, but the dance will be fun.  

  2015 Highlights (2nd half).  Here are 13 photos from July - December 2015 that show some of the fun & frolic at different places on Thursday nights.           (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):


2015 Highlights (2nd half of year):

'Bakit Pa' Singers.  I loved it. The ladies' enthusiasm was at full volume as they sang along to the he-did-her-wrong song "Bakit Pa" on HAWAIIAN NIGHT, July 23, 2015, in Point Point Joint.

WINNER!  Esther won a Hawaiian Night raffle Grand Prize of a MINI REFRIGERATOR donated by Nick Enriquez and Eden.  Earlier, Celi had won a microwave oven, also donated by Eden and Nick.

Ballroom Dancing is what the guys liked.  Above it was Elsie dancing a bachata with Ping on July 30, 2015, in Point Point Joint.

HAT NIGHT.  Above, on August 27, 2015, it was Hat Night at Point Point Joint, and most of the glamorous hat ladies lined up.  Lots got prizes.

LINE DANCES were non-stop from 6pm - 7pm on Thursday nights.  Above, Edith R was in the front line dancing one of the year's favorites, "Blurred Lines".  This photo was on Oct. 22, 2015, after we began dancing at Four Points by Sheraton on Aero Drive.  Point Point Joint underwent a management change in September.

Above, Eva & Dwayne enjoyed dancing on the wooden floor at Four Points on Oct. 22, 2015.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME DANCE PARTY was Oct. 29, 2015, at Four Points.  This cell phone photo captured only a little of the flavor of the great costumes.

FOOD AT FOUR POINTS.  Above, Nina, Rei and Belen enjoyed some of the appetizers that Nick and Eden provided for dancers on Thursday nights.  This photo was taken Oct. 29th.

DANCING AT MIRA MESA.  When we worried that Thursday night dancing would be a thing of the past, suddenly 3 places began Thursday night dancing catering to the Fil-Am dancers in San Diego.  Above, on Nov. 5, 2015, on the 1st night of "Dance The Night Away" at the Mira Mesa Senior Center, Esta and Lou were in the front line dancing to the waltz line dance. 

GROUP PHOTO.  Back in Four Point's Skies Lounge on Nov. 12, 2015, dancers gathered for a group photo, with Dwayne, Rei and Nina seated in front. 

BACK IN THE JOINT.  We got to return to dancing in the re-decorated Point Point Joint on Dec. 10th.  Above, it was the Christmas Dance Party attire winners on Dec. 17, 2015. Left to right:  Heidi, Esther, Eva, Dwayne, Evelyn and Rei. 

BORRACHO Y LOCO.  Romy, Mr. Avocado, above in the light green shirt dancing to the year's favorite line dance, "Bachata Risma", taught us some lyrics to that line dance.

CHRISTMAS PARTY DANCERS - well, many of them - lined up for a group photo near closing time on Dec 17, 2015.  Hmmm.  OK, 2 weeks ago I named the guys in the front row.  Who's in the 2nd row?  Left to right: Bernie, Neriza, Evelyn, Heidi, Nene, Eva, Nina, Eden, Rei and Beth.  Way in back is manager Tessie.


Hoping to see you on the dance floor this coming Thursday,

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, 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.
