Dance and Party this Thursday March 27th at Point Point

Hello Dancers,
  You're invited to another festive Dance Party this Thursday (March 27th) at Point Point Joint Restaurant.  DJ Mel Zaragoza will be playing swing, cha cha, cumbia, tango, and many more - and of course - LINE DANCING!  Point Point will offer us dancers their delicious-nutritious $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.) 

  With 35 dance-party people in attendance, last Thursday (March 20th) was a line dancers dream party - Marie, who is leader of the Prime Lady dancers of San Diego and half of M&B Entertainment, came to Point Point and demonstrated two nice line dances.      

  Photos from the March 20th Dance Party:    (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):

Here we see Marie showing the steps to a merengue line dance called "Mamita".

A few minutes later Marie showed how to dance "Let's Mambo Together" also known as "Strepitoso Mambo".  That's Bert #1 getting it together there.

A while later I spotted Marie and Nina talking about line dances, or whatever women talk about these days - pink iPhones? I don't know.

Well, here it looks like the dancers are watching Edith.  The line dance was "Almost Jamaica".  At some point in the night the ladies also danced "Beguine Per Sognare", a line dance taught to Nina's dancers on Tuesday night by Dante, president of the South Bay Terraces Seniors Association. 

Bert Alota and Suzanne were livening up the party dancing a night club two-step.

The always-happy Florita and Lita were dancing to "Let's Groove Tonight" here. 

DJ Mel Zaragoza continues to be the mainstay of the Thursday night dance parties.  And, he knows all the dances.  Here he's dancing a night club two-step with Susie.      


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom dances like swing like 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.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (March 20th), 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 at Point Point: 

Thursday  March 27th,   6-10pm, DJ Mel

Thursday  April 3rd,    6-10pm, DJ Mel

Thursday  April 10th,   6-10pm, DJ Mel

Let's Dance Thursday March 20th at Point Point

Hi Folks,
  We'll have another fabulous fun Dance Party this Thursday (March 20th) at Point Point Joint Restaurant, and you are invited.  DJ Mel Zaragoza will be playing swing, cha cha, cumbia, tango, and many more - and of course - LINE DANCING!  Point Point will offer us dancers their yummy $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.) 

  Last Thursday (March 13th) was the big St. Patrick's Dance Party with nearly 40 dancers many in green having a wonderful time dancing to the music of DJ Mel Zaragoza.     

  Lots of Good Photos from the March 13th St. Patrick's Dance Party:    (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):

First of all, I can't overlook Tuesday March 11th.  Wow!  I counted 17 dancers, including first-timers Jessica and Edna - as many or more than ever for a Tuesday.  Eva made one of her rare appearances.  Here we see many of them dancing "Asi Asi".  Tuesday night line dancing is on Point Point Joint's upper level.

Seventeen Tuesday night line dancers posed.  Can you spot Nedy's twin sister Geni?

OK.  Now on to the Thursday night St. Patrick's Dance Party.  Lots of line dancing - here they're doing the still-very-popular "Caballero".  Thursday night dance parties are on Point Point's main lower level.  

Here we see Lou and Nickie having fun dancing a cumbia.

Nedy and the venerable Bert Andrade were also dancing the cumbia.

And, across the floor, Liz and Boyet were also dancing the same cumbia.

A few minutes later it was a night club 2-step.  Romy and Marilyn were dancing it.

Across the dance floor, I saw two glamorous dancers, Lolita and Jake.

The next song was the popular line dance "Almost Jamaica", but when Romy brought in a big box of avocados the women forgot the dance and scrambled for the avocados.  Nina (on the microphone) pleaded for calmness and "just take 3" - nevertheless the box was emptied in 60 seconds - there was still time to finish "Almost Jamaica". 

About mid-way through the night, DJ Mel played one of my favorite songs, the rumba "Esta Noche".  Here we see Rima and Jake dancing it.

And, soon after that, it was time for the Best Attire Contest.  The 3 judges selected Royce & Maria with their green hats, mugs, ties and more.  Nina awarded their prize - a Point Point gift certificate. 

DJ Mel Zaragoza has been the Thursday night dance party DJ for many weeks now.  Occasionally he has time to dance.  Here he's dancing a bachata with Susie - the same way I like to dance bachata - real close.

Next to them, Suzanne and Bert Alota were also enjoying that bachata.

I was at Mark and Lolita's table most of the night.  Here they are dancing a tango.  Lolita was enjoying her second Thursday night dance at Point Point - I hope she keeps coming.

A few minutes later Rima and Ruben were dancing a merengue.

And joyously dancing right next to them were Florita and Lita.

Across the floor, Dante and Marilyn were also dancing the merengue.

Getting near closing time I spotted Nickie and Edith dancing in their St. Patrick's Party green.    


It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom dances like swing like 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.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (March 20th), 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.

Thursday  March 20th,   6-10pm, DJ Mel

Thursday  March 27th,   6-10pm, DJ Mel

Thursday  April 3rd,    6-10pm, DJ Mel

Hello Everyone,

  This Thursday (March 6th) we'll dance up a storm at Point Point Joint Restaurant again, and you are invited.  AND, the following Thursday March 13th will be a big St. Patrick's Dance Party with complimentary snacks and a prize for the best ST.

  Last Thursday (Feb 27th) was a great Dance Party with about 30 dancers enjoying the lively dance music of DJ Mel Zaragoza. We welcomed three first-timers.

DJ Mel Zaragoza filled in again as DJ for the party.  He found time to dance several dances including this one with DJ Assistant #1, Susie.

Daisy and Lito had just come from a Mardi Gras dance party at Balboa Park earlier in the day (February 27th), and Daisy was wearing a Mardi Gras Gold outfit.  Once again, I was amazed at their great tango moves, like this one.  Lito and Daisy have been able to come Thursday nights recently because Lito has been on vacation. 

Here's a picture of one of the first-timers, Lolita.  She was dancing a night club 2-step with Mark.

A while later I saw Sally and Hector dancing to another night club 2-step.   I didn't get any good line dance photos, but Sally and Hector danced most of the line dances.  

Florita and Lita were also very busy on the dance floor.  Here they are dancing to "Let It Whip". 

Here we see Lita dancing a cumbia with another very busy dancer, Nickie. 

Across the floor, Romy and Marilyn were also dancing the cumbia.

Later on, Edith and Ruben were having a good time with another cumbia.

Everyone was having so much fun, that near closing time another first-timer CC got up to dance to "D-I-S-C-O" with Ruben.   

  
It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom dances like swing like 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.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (February 27th), 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.
