Holiday Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (Dec. 26, 2013)

Hello Dancers,

   This coming Thursday December 26th will be another great Holiday Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (and yes there will be one January 2nd, too).  You are invited to attend, extend your Christmas season, and enjoy Point Point's $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  Special events include a drawing for a door prize and complementary snacks in Point Point's upper level.  (More details below.) 
  The Christmas Dance Party last Thursday (December 19th) at Point Point had close to 30 dancers enjoying the dance music of DJ Mel.  There was a lot of gift sharing, an ugly sweater contest, and Santa Romy's boxes of avocados and persimmons.   Photo Highlights from December 17th and 19th:    (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):



On Tuesday night, December 17, 2013, Nina's line dancers had a Christmas dinner - and line dance party.  Above we see the happy dinner-goers.


After the Tuesday dinner, there was a lot of line dancing.  Here we see Nina's Point Point dancers trying out "Bilando Boogaloo" for the first time.  Suzanne and Hector had learned it at the 32nd Street Dance Group and were the "teachers" on Dec. 17th.  Hmmmm - compared to the YouTube video, Nina's dancers did pretty good - it looks like they just need to get those outfits that change colors while they're dancing.   Tuesday night line dancing at Point Point will resume in the New Year on January 7, 2014.


OK, now on to Thursday night's Christmas dance party (December 19th).  Here we see Romy and Josie enjoying a night club 2-step, "You Are My Shining Star".


Mark watched with interest as women grabbed up avocados that Romy had brought in.


Eva and Leo enjoyed dancing cumbia to "Amor Ala Mexicana".


Across the floor Ruben and Penny were enjoying the same cumbia dance.


A few minutes later, the night's Santa (Romy) brought in ANOTHER produce box, this time it was persimmons.  That set off another grab-fest.


The rollicking celebration continued.  Here line dancers sway to the "Bachata Risma" line dance, aka "Lamento Boliviano".


A few dances later Ly and Ruben danced cha cha to "La Ultima Noche", while some others danced the line dance.


A bit later I spotted Ly dancing again, this time to a night club 2-step with Hector.


By and by the Ugly Sweater Contestants stepped forward.  The eventual winners were Mel, Susie and Rei.


Once DJ Mel won the Contest with his candy-covered sweater, hungry dancers began ripping the pieces of candy off his sweater.    


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.  For this weeks' Holiday Party on Thursday (Dec 26), Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual 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 December 26th 6-10pm, DJ Leo.  2nd of 3 Holiday Dance Parties with complimentary snacks and a door prize.

Thursday January  2nd  6-10pm, DJ Mel.  3rd of 3 Holiday Dance Parties with complimentary snacks and a door prize.

Thursday January 9th, 6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday January 16th, 6-10pm, DJ Leo


See you on the dance floor,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) The Thursday night dance parties are private parties, and this is the invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing in Point Point Restaurant, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego.  There are dancers who are happy to give free dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.

   The dance party last Thursday (November 14th) at Point Point has fewer people than usual - 15 dancers.  Besides dancing, we all got to talk to each other about things like last week's Typhoon Haiyan (aka Typhoon Yolanda), and what our jobs are.

On Thursday Nov 14th, with so few guys, line dances were popular, especially "Blurred Lines" again. 


The people who were there on the 14th seemed to be dancing a lot.  Here we see newcomer Noel dancing with Cecile.


A while later Mark danced with Cecile.  With the seniors mostly at other events, Mark and I turned out to be the only retirees in Point Point that night.

Dance Party at Point Point This Thursday (November 14th, 2013)




Hello Dancers,
   This Thursday November 14th will be a great Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point Joint Restaurant (details below).    
   Last Thursday (November 7th) was a bit less festive than normal because the big news was that Typhoon Haiyan (aka Typhoon Yolanda) was smashing into Leyte, Samar and other islands.  Some people were getting news updates on their iPhones.  Unfortunately, the outcome turned out to be a lot worse than we expected.  Some San Diego groups are now participating in relief activities.  Our prayers are for the victims and their families and friends.
   Nevertheless, over 30 dancers showed up at Point Point to enjoy dancing to the music of DJ Mel.             

   Photo Highlights from November 5th and 7th:     (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):



On Tuesday November 5th, Nina's line dancers at Point Point enjoyed dancing to "Brand New Slide" and about 20 other line dances.


There were close to 20 people altogether on Tuesday Nov 5th - we celebrated Beth's birthday with lots of food like pandit, fried chicken and cake of course. 


On Thursday Nov 7th, the line dances were popular, especially "Blurred Lines" - the dancers were dancing that one in this photo. 


A little later, Jack and Lu danced to one of my favorites - "Mi Bom Bon".  Most people danced it as a salsa.


Here we see "Bachata Risma" dancers with Vilma and Rima in front around closing time.  


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.  This coming Thursday Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers. 

  Here's the plan for the next several weeks: 


Thursday November 14th 6-10pm, DJ Bert. With DJ Mel and DJ Leo out to other parties, I'll be the DJ this Thursday.
Thursday November 21st 6-10pm, DJ Leo
Thursday November 28th - No dance, it's THANKSGIVING
Thursday December 5th  6-10pm, DJ Mel
