Big Dance Thursday Night at Point Point Joint Sept. 11, 2014

Hi Dancers,
  Well summer is just about over so maybe Point Point Joint will cool off a bit for this week's dance party - Thursday night at Point Point Joint, September 11, 2014, and this is YOUR INVITATION to be there.  The DJ is probably Leo, but whoever it is will be playing swing, cha cha, cumbia, tango, and many more - and of course - LINE DANCING!  Point Point will offer us dancers their delicious $10 dinner special which includes a soft drink.  (More details below.).  So come on over - Party time:  from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.  

  Last Thursday September 4, 2014, nearly 40 dancers enjoyed another warm and dance party.  It turned out to be the grand debut of DJ Bing Villafuertes at Point Point. The eight photos below show 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):

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (SEPTEMBER 4, 2014):

We had lots of line dances.  In the photo above, Cely and Esther are in front on "Stuck On You".  

We were happy to welcome Ruth, a regular dancer with 32nd Street Dancers, here dancing to "Hernando's Hideaway" tango with Gino.  Ruth came with about 10 of her friends, many for their first experience at Point Point Joint.

A special event - Nina's retirement AND birthday party.  Here she is admiring a surprise cake from Cora Anderson and the Fil-Am Unity Group dancers. 

Above we see Nina, Rei and DJ Bing.  

Here we see Lou dancing with the venerable Bert Andrade. 

The floor was packed for "Bachata Risma" line dance, and Ressie, Florita and Gloria were in front in this photo.

Above, Josie and Mark were enjoying dancing to a rumba.  

"Carinito" continues to be a favorite line dance.  About quitting time even Royce and Maria got up to dance to it.  That's Eva on the left.


  It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point Joint with line dances and ballroom dances 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.  For this weeks' Dance Party on Thursday (September 11, 2014), 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. 

  With DJ Mel taking a vacation in the Philippines, here's the plan for the next few weeks at Point Point:  

Thursday  September 11, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday  September 18, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Bing

Thursday  September 25, 2014  6-10pm, DJ TBD

Thursday  October 2, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Bing


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 Joint Restaurant, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego.  While the dancing is continuous, 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.  Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instruction while others dance makes this the best free dance lessons in San Diego.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (AUGUST 21, 2014):

We had a whole bunch of line dances again, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  This picture shows Nina, Zeny and Belen in front on "Linda Eh". 

I think the highlight of the evening was the surprise - Marie, leader of the Prime Ladies of San Diego, came with Lolita, another Prime Lady of San Diego.  And, we got lessons on two line dances.  Above we see Marie leading on "Disco Cha Cha Line Dance." 

Marie was very busy dancing ballroom dances, too.  Here she's dancing with Dione to the bachata "Down Down".

I went around the room snapping pictures during the bachata "Down Down".  Here we see Gino and Nedy dancing to it.

And Gloria and Tito were also dancing the bachata.

Bert Alota and Suzanne were also dancing to it.

And guess what.  I got to dance with one of the best Prime Ladies of San Diego, Lolita.  I was having so much fun Thursday night that I did not feel the warm air.  By the way, Edith became the designated bouncer after she coaxed a couple of homeless interlopers out the door.

Timber Line Dance - Florita was rollicking so much on Timber that I recorded about half a minute of it and posted it on YouTube.  I'll try to record more the next time.
