P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are the best ballroom dances (and best line dances) in San Diego. This is dancing in San Diego 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 one-on-one 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, for example, the best bachata dancing lessons in San Diego.
