Back to Point Point Joint! - This Thurs. Dec 10th

Yes Dancers!  It's Deja Vu,
   Back to Point Point Joint!  Nina and Nick arranged with the new management of Point Point Joint for Thursday night dancing - $8 for entry and $5 for food. It will be a fun dance party again there, and this is your invitation.  The great DJ Bing Villafuerte will play line dances non-stop from 6 to 7pm, then mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.  The place: Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.     

  Last Thursday December 3, 2015, 25 dancers enjoyed the music of DJ Bing, at what seems to have been the last time again at Four Points by Sheraton. Nick & Eden provided food & beverages again.  The hotel moved our dance from the Skies Lounge into another nearby room. The eleven 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):

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego - at Point Point Joint they are considered 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 at these dances, in case you do not know the easy steps used for a particular dance, ask me & I'll get someone to give you a free dance lesson while the music plays.
