Thursday Night Dance at Point Point Joint (Aug 13, 2015)

OK Party People,
  We'll be dancing up a storm again this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, August 13, 2015.  The incredible DJ Nickie Bascos will be 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 from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City - five years of fun at Point Point may be all over at the end of August.   

 Last Thursday August 6, 2015, thanks to nearly ten first-timers over 40 dancers enjoyed the music of DJ Bing Villafuerte.  The seven photos below to 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):

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (AUGUST 6, 2015):

There were plenty of line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, energetic early birds danced to a relatively new one, "Ballo Con La Luna" with Nora and Elsie in front.

We guys preferred the ballroom dances, like one of my favorites, "You  Never Can Tell" boogie.  Above, Dolores and Tito danced to it.

At the same time, there was a rare sight:  Nina was a ballroom DI showing first-timer Robert how to boogie.  

Around 9pm "Uptown Funk" line dance packed the floor, with Elsie and Suzanne in front. 

"Bachata Risma" line dance always packs the floor.  I saw Dolores, Gloria, Medy and Lou dancing it in the photo above. 

A few minutes later I saw Suzanne enjoying dancing the rumba "Cada Vez" with Bert Alota. 

Everyone was energetically enthusiastic through the very last dance.  In the photo above, Nina, Gloria and Dolores were in front making a turn while dancing to "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" just past 10pm.


 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 (August 13, 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 three weeks at Point Point:  

Thursday  August 13, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., 858-775-0139

Thursday  August 20, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  August 27, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte.  CARIBBEAN NIGHT. This will probably be the LAST THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT DANCE (boo hoo).  There will be prizes and (in addition to Point Point's $10 special) lots of complimentary snacks and food.  Wear island attire.

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 one-on-one dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (JULY 30, 2015):

As usual, there were plenty of line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, it was the delightful "Somethin Stupid" with Nora and Marie in front.  

Of course, we guys preferred the ballroom dances.  We gave a big "welcome back to Point Point" greeting to Mel (not the DJ, but the lady), whose previous Thursday night at Point Point was over a year ago.  Above, she was dancing with Gino to the hustle "TSOP".

And, Rima and Ruben enjoyed dancing to the merengue "Linda Eh".

A highlight of the night was a birthday party for Tito.  Above he's blowing out the candles on the birthday cake while he was surrounded by some of his admirers.

A little later Elsie and Ping looked very happy dancing to the bachata "Calma - No Me Entendio".

And, then Ly and the busy Ruben shared the floor with line dancers, while they enjoyed dancing the hustle or Manila Swing to "Uptown Funk".  

Speaking of line dancers, the longtime favorite "Cupid Shuffle" had the dancers dancing even at closing time.  Ly, Edith and Elsie were in front on the photo above.

Dance Party This Thursday at Point Point Joint (July 30, 2015)

Hi Dancers,
  We'll party again this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 30, 2015.  The fabulous DJ Mel Zaragoza will be 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 from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.  

  Wow!!  Last Thursday July 23, 2015, was an incredible HAWAIIAN NIGHT with 75 dancers partying with DJ Bing Villafuerte!  There were lots of complementary snacks and chicharon.  Coping with camera problems, we got the fourteen photos below to tell part of a 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 (HAWAIIAN NIGHT, JULY 23, 2015):

There were many line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm.  Above, it was "Bachata Risma" with Heidi, Nene and Lou in front.  And Romy in white singing along to "borracho y loco" and "te amo siempre".

Ruben and Dolores looked good dancing the cumbia "Amor Ala Mexicana".

Ly & Jerry also looked good also dancing to the cumbia.

Romy Maraya and Eva (in front above) had the best Hawaiian attire.  Romy, backed by a bevy of beauties, put on a great HAWAIIAN NIGHT show with songs like "Igiling Giling" and "Let's Groove Tonight". 

The samba "Bailando" got several dancers up, including Ping and Elsie above.

There were many first-timers, including Rosie who danced above with Lito.

At the same time, DJ Nickie and Reyllen were also dancing to the samba "Bailando".

Lulu and Esta, dancing stars of the RMX Dance Group, performed a very nice dance for us.  Esta and Lulu brought some other RMX dancers to Point Point for the first time.  Esta was another Hawaiian attire prize winner.

We celebrated Lydia's birthday.  Lydia, the owner-manager of Point Point Joint, is looking forward to retirement in about a month.

The last 30 minutes were busy.  Line dances included "Carinito" above, with Ping and Nora in front. 

Above, Nina announced Cely as the WINNER of a MICROWAVE OVEN donated by Nick Enriquez!  Cely was one of two winning raffle ticket holders of those who bought Point Point's $10 dinner special. 

Nick and Eden also donated the Grand Prize, a MINI REFRIGERATOR, won by Esther (Esther's in the green & pink dress)!  Someone called Esther back to Point Point after her raffle ticket was drawn as the winning ticket. 

The ladies' enthusiasm was at full volume as they sang along to the he-did-her-wrong song "Bakit Pa".  Just after the photo was snapped, DJ Bing brought over microphones so everyone could hear their voices.

After closing time, most of the lingering HAWAIIAN NIGHT dancers huddled for a group photo.

 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 30, 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 30, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Mel Zaragoza, 619-494-8692

Thursday  August 6, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Bing Villafuerte

Thursday  August 13, 2015  6-10pm, DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., 858-775-0139

  Let's wear Hawaiian attire this Thursday night at Point Point Joint, July 23, 2015.  There will be prizes, special numbers and complementary snacks.  Dancers who buy the $10 Point Point dinner special will be in a raffle for a mini refrigerator and microwave oven donated by Nick Enriquez!!  Special numbers and a best attire prize are still TBD.  DJ Bing Villafuerte will be 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 come to Hawaiian Night - It may be the last Thursday night theme party at Point Point because the owner-manager Lydia hopes to be out of the business by September.  So come on over - Party time:  from 6pm until 10pm at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.

THURSDAY NIGHT AT POINT POINT JOINT (JULY 16, 2015):

The many line dances, including non-stop from 6 to 7pm, delighted the ladies, including "Carinito" above, with Lou, Edith, Medy and Nora in front.

Early in the evening, a surprise VIP 1st-timer, the Deputy Mayor of National City, Jerry Cano stopped by, enjoyed the Point Point dinner, and he danced many of the line dances.  We had to get a group photo with him.  Deputy Mayor Cano is in the brown shirt between Bert Andrade and Nina.

Of course we guys favored the ballroom dances.  Above it was Dolores and Carlos enjoying a rumba called "Historia de un Amor".

A while later, Ruben and Lou had fun dancing to another rumba called "Sin Ti".  

When I saw Marilyn and Rima in attractive yellow and coral-colored attire, I had to get a photo of them.

There were some 1st-timers at Thursday night at Point Point Joint, and I was fortunate enough to get to dance a rumba with Marcela.

The ladies' energy was boundless.  It kept building right up until closing time when Nickie played "Let's Twist Again".  These ladies had spirit!  

 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 Hawaiian Night Dance Party on Thursday (July 23, 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.

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.

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. 


 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 9, 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.
