Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (October 24th)


Hello Dancers,
   This Thursday (October 24th) will be another great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (October 17th) about 40 dancers showed up at Point Point to enjoy another dance with music by DJ Leo.      

   Photo Highlights from October 17th:     (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):


Early in the night, DJ Leo played one of my all-time favorites - from the early 80's it was "Hands Up", a great Manila swing (4-count hustle) tempo. I got lucky and got to dance it with Sally.  


The very next song was a great cha cha.  Bert A danced it with Mona.


Later on, I spotted Ping dancing with Cecile to "Vayamos Companeros".  I think it's a cha cha.


Lita and Florita did a very nice tango dance.


Well, the "Blurred Lines" Point Point version has eclipsed "Caballero" as the most popular line dance in Point Point.  They danced it twice on Thursday.  Here we see Vilma and Edith in front. 


By and by, Rima dropped in and here we see her dancing a bachata with Ernie.


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  Once again this coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.  

  Here's the plan for the next few weeks: 

Thursday  October 24th 6-10pm, DJ Mel
Thursday  October 31st 6-10pm, Halloween Costume Dance Party with DJ Leo. This Halloween Costume Dance Party will also include complimentary snacks. 
Thursday  November 7th 6-10pm, DJ Mel
Thursday November 14th 6-10pm, DJ Leo
Thursday November 21st 6-10pm, DJ Mel
Thursday November 28th - No dance, it's THANKSGIVING

See you on the dance floor,
Bert & Edith

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (September 12th)

Hello Dancers,

   This Thursday (September 12th) will be another great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (September 5th) about 30 dancers showed up at Point Point to enjoy another hot night like the week before.  In a sense it was VIP night.  Ohmee Ramos, a recent past mayor of Cavite City, Philippines, enjoyed the night with us.  DJ & DI Jun Ancho and Jona dropped in with some friends after Jun's line dance class.  DJ Leo's brother, Danny, was also at Point Point.  Trying to figure out which Blurred Lines line dance the ladies are doing, I recorded it and posted it on YouTube - but I still don't see it matching any of the dozens of versions on YouTube.   

   Photo Highlights from September 5th:     (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):



Ohmee Ramos, a recent mayor of Cavite City, Philippines, was vacationing in San Diego, and he dropped in to dance with his former town-mates, in this case with Penny.  They were dancing to the boogie, "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go".


Here we see Edith, Hector and Cora in front doing the "Brand New Slide" line dance


A few minutes later I spotted Sally and Bert A dancing to the hustle "Cry To Me".


Jona and DJ Jun Ancho came by to see how warm it was in Point Point, and they even danced to the Swing Medley.


At the same time, Cora was dancing with Hector.



It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  Once again this coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.  

  Here's the plan for the next couple weeks: 


Thursday  September 12th 6-10pm, DJ Mel
Thursday  September 19th 6-10pm, DJ Leo

AND, come to Infinity on Convoy this Saturday night (Sept 14th) for DANCE-O-RIMA - it's only $15 for dinner and dancing.

See you on the dance floor,

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (September 5th)

Hello Dancers,

   This coming Thursday (September 5th) will be another great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (August 29th) over 40 dancers showed up at Point Point to enjoy the hottest day of the year so far.  Since most all the dancers had grown up in the Philippines, I didn't hear a single complaint about the heat.  Not one.  I heard a hundred.  
   I saw  some people for the first time, including DJ Mel's sister Cody.  DJ Mel played great dance songs.  We saw line dancers do Blurred Lines line dance.  I couldn't tell which YouTube version they did.    

   Photo Highlights from August 29th:     (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):


Romy (on right wearing a hat) sometimes brings in fresh produce to give to dancers.  Thursday he brought in TWO BOXES - one of avocados and one of oranges.  The boxes were picked empty in about a minute. 


Here we see Sally and Hector enjoying the night club 2-step "Tal Vez Quizas"


Ernie and Florita here had fun dancing the bachata "Stand By Me".


What would the night be without Bert A showing some dance floor skills - here near closing time with Rima in a dip to the tango "La Cumparsita".      


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  Once again this coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.
