Dance This Thursday Night at Point Point Joint (July 16, 2015)

Hello Wonderful Dancers,
  It'll be another fun dance party this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 16, 2015.  Nickie Bascos, who has been doing DJ work at the Mira Mesa Senior Center recently, will be DJ'ing his first Thursday night at Point Point Joint playing swing, cha cha, rumba, and much more - and of course - LINE DANCING - which has been non-stop from 6-7pm lately.  This is your invitation to join the party.  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 July 9, 2015, DJ Mel Zaragoza played to over 40 happy dancers.  The following eight photos below tell part of the very busy 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 (JULY 9, 2015):

Romy & Marilyn were the stars of the night, in my opinion.  Early in the evening, Romy brought in a big box of sweet pink grapefruit.  Above Nita, Eden, Edith and Estrelle were helping to quickly empty the box.

Once again, there were plenty of line dances, especially non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, Nora and Elsie were in front on "Bachata Risma". 

A couple hours later Eva and two Ediths were in front for "Uptown Funk". 

Of course we guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Nora and Dione dancing a cumbia. 

At the same time, Elsie and Joe were also dancing the cumbia.  I want to ask Joe how to dance that move he was doing.

Around nine o'clock Romy treated the dancers AGAIN!  Above we see him setting a big box of AVOCADOS on the table!  

And WOW!  In spite of Nina pleading, "Only 2 each", those avocados were grabbed up so fast that the box was emptied in 15 SECONDS!!  

A little later it was "Let's Twist Again", with Nick and Edith in front, and Dwayne & Eva behind them.  I have to ask Eva how she managed to dance the TWIST in those high heeled shoes.


 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 week's Dance Party on Thursday (July 16, 2015), Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, as usual will offer 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  July 16, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., 858-775-0139

Thursday  July 23, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  July 30, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Mel Zaragoza

Thursday  August 6, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., 858-775-0139

See you on the dance floor,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego - 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 instructions while others are dancing make these, for example, the best swing dance lessons in San Diego.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (JULY 2, 2015, RED WHITE & BLUE Night):

Once again, line dances were in abundance, especially non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, a little after 7pm 'Carinito' dancers included Nora and Elsie. 

The guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Ly and Jerry - his Boy Scout outfit won a costume prize later in the night.  They were dancing the salsa "Ave Maria Lola".

Then, the floor was packed for the night club two-step "Sinta", including Ray and Elsie above. 

Above, "Almost Jamaica" dancers with Edith in front.

Then we recorded a YouTube video of "Under The Boardwalk":

In the above YouTube video, DJ Mel Zaragoza choreographed these steps to "Under The Boardwalk" with his sister Carolina Herrera who lives in New Jersey.  NOTE - the first 15 seconds of this video are the end of "Uptown Funk" line dance.  DJ Mel leads the steps in the front row.  Next to him are Nedy and Nene.  Others dancing in the video:  Elsie, Josie, Eva, Estrelle, Lou, Edith, Merci, Marilyn, Rima, Nora, and Eden.

Ruben and Rima danced to the cumbia "Maldito Corazon".

Romy Maraya, San Diego's Filipino Elvis, treated everyone to something different - he sang "Long Live America" in honor of Independence Day. (Camera wasn't focused.)

Congratulations to the many RED WHITE & BLUE Night attire prize winners: Tito & Gloria, Dolores, Eva & Dwayne (with Nina in between), and Jerry Sattler in his well-preserved Boy Scout leader uniform.  Edith is on right.

Picture taking went on way past closing time.  Too many to name in the photo above, except for Patty and Manoro in front.

The crowd parted way so I could get a picture of DJ Nickie Bascos and DJ Bing Villafuerte who were trying to pack up their equipment.

  Last Thursday June 11, 2015, was FILIPINO NIGHT prior to the June 12th Philippine Independence Day, and DJ Bing played to 60 dancers who dropped in at various times at the Joint.  The following six photos below tell 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):

Plenty of line dancing as usual.  There were many early birds for non-stop line dancing from 6pm-7pm.  Above they were line dancing to "Totoy Bibo" with Lito and Ruben in front.

Later on the floor was packed with exuberant line dancers for "Bachata Risma".  DJ Bing, Beth and Belen were in front.

It was FILIPINO NIGHT, and many dancers put on very nice Filipino clothing.  Most of them lined up for a group photo.  Left to right:  Fe, Gloria*, Eva*, Beth*, Marilyn*, Estrelle*, Esther, Edith*, Rei, Nene, and Lou.  Kneeling are Tito*, Dwayne*, and Cesar.  (I lost track of all the prize winners, but I put an asterisk (*) by the names of the winners I remember.)

Gloria and Tito were dancing to the hustle-swing "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" while others did a line dance to it.

Medy, Lou, Eva, Gloria and Rima were intensely singing along with "Bakit Pa".  Edith took this photo as the singers were pointing at me!!  Why?  (see next photo) 

Well, Esther returned to San Diego for the summer, and I got to dance with her to "Bakit Pa".  I had to ask Esther why the "Bakit Pa" singers (in the previous photo) were pointing at me.  Esther said the lyrics have something to do with a guy who is not being very nice to his girlfriend.
