Dance at Point Point This Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014




Hello Party Dancers,
  It will be another rollicking good-time DANCE PARTY this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, November 20, 2014.  This is YOUR INVITATION to be there for the pre-Thanksgiving dance.  The fabulous DJ Leo 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 November 13, 2014, was wonderful night to remember.  Enjoying the music of DJ Bing were over 40 dancers, including Cora Anderson who reminded us of the Fil-Am Unity Group's Gala Dinner-Dance of Saturday Nov 29th.   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 (NOVEMBER 13, 2014):

Once again there were dozens of line dances - including non-stop from six to seven PM.  Above, it was "Bachata Risma", a favorite for over a year now, with Florita front & center.     



A while later the line dance was "Let's Mambo Together" with Florita and Lou in front.  Marie is dancing next to DJ Bing in back - she introduced this line dance to the Point Point crowd earlier this year. 



Well, we guys preferred the ballroom dances.  Daisy (of Lito & Daisy fame) dropped in with her cousin.  Above we see Daisy dancing with Nickie.  



We were happy and honored to have Rosie and Rollie show up at Point Point.  I think it was their 1st Thursday night at Point Point Joint



We rarely are honored by having Cecile drop in.  She did on Thursday, and above Mark got to dance the rumba "Reloj" with her.  



Penny and Nickie were having fun dancing to the rumba "Acercate Mas".



I felt intoxicated - not from alcohol, but from getting to dance with so many wonderful women.  Above Nita danced "Bailamos" samba with me.



Marie and several of the Prime Ladies of San Diego came to remind us of the big dance this coming Friday Nov 21 that they are hosting at the church at 3737 Valley Vista Way, Bonita CA 91902.  Anyway I got to dance a swing dance with Marie.  


   On Thursday we had lots of fun with other ballroom dance songs like "Suavemente" (merengue), "Bakit Pa" (night club 2-step), and "Could I Have This Dance" (waltz).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "Caballero", "It's So Easy", and "Bilando Boogaloo".  

  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 (November 20, 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 Zaragoza in the last couple weeks of his "vacation" in the Philippines, here's the plan for the next few weeks at Point Point:  

Thursday  November 20, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday  November 27, 2014 - NO DANCE - THANKSGIVING DAY

Thursday  December 4, 2014   6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte, 858-610-7514

Thursday  December 11, 2014  6-10pm, DJ is TBD

See you on the dance floor,
Bert & Edith
619-224-3095

P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is the best Filipino-American dancing in National City on Thursday nights - they are private parties, and this is your 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 midweek dancing in San Diego.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (NOVEMBER 6, 2014):


The highlight of the night was Beth's birthday party.  Beth had a cake, sandwiches and Above, Beth is surrounded by 14 beautiful well-wishers.



And, of course there were muchos line dances - including non-stop from six to seven PM.  Above, it was "Aguardiente", with Eva and my Edith in front.



A while later the line dance was "A Namorada" with Penny and Gina in front.  (Thanks to DJ Bing's song recognizer, I finally got the song title "A Namorada" correct, not "Enamorada" as I had been calling it.) 



And, we guys liked the ballroom dances.  Above it was Marilyn and Ping dancing to the tango "Adios Muchachos"



Later, Suzanne and Bert A were dancing to a night club 2-step. 



When it came time for the recently-weekly "Bakit Pa", while some ladies were singing their hearts out, Nedy and Mel (not DJ Mel) were enjoying the night club 2-step.


   On Thursday we had lots of fun with other ballroom dance songs like "Let's Twist Again", "Baile Del Suavito" (salsa), and "No Matter What" (rumba).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "Stuck On You", "Blurred Lines", and "Carinito".

Dance - Thursday Night at Point Point Joint, Nov. 6, 2014


Hi Again Dancers ,
  It's going to be another fun DANCE PARTY this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, November 6, 2014.  This is YOUR INVITATION to be there.  The fabulous DJ Leo 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 October 30, 2014, was the HALLOWEEN COSTUME DANCE PARTY. How many were there?  I lost count about 60!!  The most in over a year.  Besides everyone having a rollicking good time dancing to the music of DJ Bing, Jake brought in delicious pancit to celebrate his birthday.  There were other snacks.  The six 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):

HALLOWEEN PARTY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (OCTOBER 30, 2014):


There were line dances aplenty - including non-stop from six to seven PM.    Above, it was "Bachata Risma" again, with Lou as Pocahontas and Florita as Leopard Lady in the center. 



And lots of ballroom dances.  This was Mark dancing the rumba "Acercate Mas" with Nene (as Cat Woman, I think).  



I do like pink or green-haired Filipinas.  Medy came as either Lady Gaga or Lady Pink, and here she was dancing the great cha cha "Aquardiente" with Nickie, who I think was dressed up as Gaddafi.   



For Best Costumes, the judges chose (left-to-right): Royce (as The Exterminator), Maria (as The Clown), Eva (as Wonder Woman), Gloria & Tito (as 70's Disco Dancers), and Rima (as The Rock Star). Edith awarded the prizes. 



Rima, Florita, Gloria, Lou, and Eva sang loudly and emotionally to "Bakit Pa".  (I was so curious about the display of emotion from these costumed Point Point dancers that I enlisted Edith to try to figure out what in the song prompted fists.  We concluded it was the line, "KUNG SIYA'Y HIGIT SA AKIN, NARO'N MAN ANG PAGDARAMDAM NITO AY AKING KAKAYANIN", which translates roughly as, "Even though you're leaving me, I will survive.") 



Marie dropped by with some of her Prime Ladies of San Diego to invite dancers to a Nov 21st "jam session".  In spite of my just-purchased medical "credentials", Marie declined my offer to take her pulse measurements.  But, she did allow me to dance the waltz "Could I Have This Dance" with her.


   On Thursday we had lots of fun with other ballroom dance songs like "Nikita" (night club 2-step), "Blue Tango", and "Amor Ala Mexicana" (cumbia).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "It's So Easy", "It's My Soul", and a 1st-timer - "All About That Bass" introduced by Marie.  

  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 (November 6, 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.

Thursday  November 6, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Leo

Thursday  November 13, 2014  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte, 858-610-7514

A few minutes later, Ly was out on the dance floor with DJ Eric DeLeon, who was enjoying one of his very infrequent nights at Point Point Joint. 



As we approached the 10pm closing time, the dancers got more energetic.  There was a loud and spirited sing-along to "Bakit Pa".  And, many ladies (and Romy) lined up to shake to "Let's Twist Again" in the photo above. 
  

   On Thursday we had lots of fun with other ballroom dance songs like "The Right Thing That We Do" (waltz), "I Saw Her Standing There" (boogie - East Coast Swing), and one of my favorites "Mi Bom Bon" (salsa).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "Blurred Lines", "Bajo La Luna", and a revival of "Blame It On The Bossa Nova".

There were plenty of ballroom dances, too.  Above it was Lisa dancing the cumbia "Piel Morena" with Tito



A few minutes later Edith and Gino R were dancing a swing to "I Love The Rainy Night".



The special event of the night was the 69th birthday party for Bert Alota.  Suzanne got the cake - I hear the inscription means "I love you mister". 



And then they danced a cumbia together.



One of the rarely-seen dancers was Ly.  Above she was dancing a swing with Tito.



And Terri said to mention that she brought in Cecile, Lulu and Amy who rarely show up at Point Point.  Above we see Cecile dancing the cha cha "La Ultima Noche" with Mark.



And, once again my Edith brought a visiting daughter to Point Point.  And, I got to dance with her - Valerie.
