Other Notes: (1) These are considered private parties, and this is your invitation to members of the email group to enjoy dancing in Point Point Joint Restaurant, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 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. Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instructions while others dance make these, for example, the best rumba lessons in San Diego.
