Hello Dancers, DJ Eric started Sunday "Strictly Ballroom" at Lucky Star, and Leo Dulce started Thursday night dancing at Point Point. More details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 25th fifteen, counting people who were there for part of the night, danced through about ten line dances, like "Asi Asi", "Cumbia Semana", "Tennessee Waltz", and "Volare". "If You Wanna Be Happy" footwork got extra attention. DJ John Llaneta's mom Leti joined us for the first time in about a year. THIS TUESDAY (Feb 1st) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5. EDITH will continue selling tickets to a Feb 19th Post-Valentine Dinner Dance at Holiday Inn on the Bay. See details in Upcoming Events.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on January 26th was moved into the smaller ballroom because there was a big party in the big ballroom. There were about 30 dancers, with just under 20 dancers hitting the floor at the most. The dance floor did not get crowded. Luckily, 15 of the dancers were friends of Bernie that he brought in, several of them visiting the U.S. from the Philippines. I imagine we were a strange sight to those tourists. With quite a few line dancers in the room, DJ Eric had best results with line dances like "Achy Breaky Heart", "Asi Asi", "Coco Jamboo", and "Todo Todo Todo". "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday Feb 2nd at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT became a reality on Jan 27th!! With attendance at Jade House for Thursday night dancing disappearing, close to 20 showed up for the inaugural Thursday night dance at Point Point. Point Point moved tables out of the way on main floor, and DJ Leo set up near the trays for the buffet line. His 3 small speakers were certainly loud enough for Point Point. With only about 4 guys doing any dancing and so many ladies itching to dance, Leo had to play line dances predominantly. Dancing went on till 10PM. This coming Thursday Feb 3rd, Point Point will once again feature dancing, roughly 6:30 - 10 PM. The only admission cost is $10 which gets you a 2-entree buffet dinner, 2 soft drinks, and all the dancing you can handle. However, due to the newness of this event, it's best to call ahead around 6PM to Point Point 619-474-2866 to verify it will happen.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON "STRICTLY BALLROOM" 2-5PM at Lucky Star is DJ Eric's new addition to the weekly San Diego dance scene. It will be interesting to see how this does on the same day as other dancing in National City (see Upcoming Events page). Just like Wednesday nights, there will be a $6 cover charge and 1 drink minimum. PHOTOS: First of all, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 26th, we see tango dancers on doing their turns in the smaller (but still big) ballroom.
Then, at Point PointThursday night inaugural dance, Jan 27th, we see an overview of the "dance floor" with eleven line dancers dancing to "Asi Asi". DJ Leo is in a yellow shirt near the back.
I put those two plus 11 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2011 January' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the January photos are also posted at

Hello Dancers, With the return of DJ Eric to Lucky Star this past Wednesday, there were 36 dancers, the most since October. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 18th thirteen of us danced through about a dozen line dances, like "Blame It On The Bossa Nova", "Coco Jamboo", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", "Simplemente", and many more. We welcomed back Rei Toth and offered sympathy over the recent passing of her mother. THIS TUESDAY (Jan 25th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5. EDITH will be there with tickets to a Feb 19th Post-Valentine Dinner Dance at Holiday Inn on the Bay. See details in Upcoming Events.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on January 19th had the most Filipino Night dancers since late October. Although there were about 36 dancers and a couple dozen diners, barely 20 dancers hit the floor at any one time. DJ Eric was back on the stage playing great dance songs. Catering to the variety of dancers' preferences, songs played included "Heaven's What I Feel", "Disco Inferno", and waltzes, cha cha and more, plus line dances like "Coco Jamboo", "Tennessee Waltz", and "Volare". "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday Jan 26th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM. $6 plus one drink minimum.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Jan 20th, had only 5 dancers, but only Jack & Nanette were dancing - there were just too few people. I wasn't there, but Edith was. DJ RT played all the usual songs, with emphasis on ballroom dance songs. With attendance low, it's best to call ahead to see what's happening this coming Thursday January 27th.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT POINT POINT??? There was some exploratory talk about it during the past week. That would probably be a BIG change to Point Point's normal operation. PHOTOS: First of all, from line dancing at Point Point, we see about ten folks happily line dancing to "Rock Around The Clock".
Then, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 19th, back from her long Hawaiian vacation we have Luna dancing tango with Bert Alota.
I put those two plus 12 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2011 January' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at

Hello Dancers, We extend condolences and sympathy to our regular dancer Nedy, who is also prominent in the Fil-Am community. Her Dad died Jan 14th and she's on her way to Manila for services. This sad loss follows by two weeks the loss of Rei Toth's mother. Meanwhile at Lucky Star, DJ Eric was AWOL, but five guys and five ladies danced the night away on the Jan 12th "Filipino Night". Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 11th eleven of us danced through about a dozen line dances, a few up to three times. We welcomed a visiting VIP from the Red Hot Line Dancers, Baby. She told us a bit about the Red Hot Line Dancers' fun Friday dances in Mira Mesa - they get about 50 dancers! Anyway, we danced to "Asi Asi", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sway", and many more. THIS TUESDAY (Jan 18th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on January 12th again had few dancers, this time there were ten of us. Although the owner was disappointed by the low turnout, with five guys and five ladies, there was a dance partner for everyone. And, dance we did! There were 10 of us dancing to many songs. DJ Eric was absent again, stuck on the East Coast due to snow-related flight cancellations. So once again, the manager gave "OK" to play dance CDs on their system. With folks being mostly ballroom dancers, two-step songs like "Yo Te Amo" and disco swing like "You're the 1st, Last, My Everything" got everyone onto the floor. The few line dances like "Todo Todo Todo" also got us on the floor. Expect DJ Eric and $6 cover charge this coming Wednesday Jan 19th. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Jan 13th, also had 10 dancers - 3 guys and 7 ladies - Whoopee! With Jun being the only guy who dances ballroom nicely, most songs were line dances like "Asi Asi", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Chilly Cha Cha", "Coco Jamboo", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sex Bomb", "Tennessee Waltz" and "Volare". With attendance low, it's best to call ahead to see what's happening this coming Thursday January 20th. PHOTOS: First of all, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 12th, we see Malou and Dione dancing to the graceful two-step "Yo Te Amo".
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Jan 13th, line dancers had a great time - in this photo it's Beth, Nedy & Nina in front on "Volare".
I put those two plus 12 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2011 January' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at

Hello Dancers, Yes, there were dancers at "Filipino Night" at Lucky Star Jan 5th, and the merengue "Suavemente" got a lot of dancers up. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday Jan 4th twelve of us danced through about 15 different line dances. We welcomed back Leah and Susan who'd been at the line dancing a couple months ago. We continued to sort out the steps of "If You Wanna Be Happy" line dance, also known as "Crazy Foot Mambo Line Dance". We got to refresh our memory of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Some others we danced to were "Asi Asi", "Rock Around The Clock", and "Sex Bomb". THIS TUESDAY (Jan 11th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on January 5th, was again advertised in "Filipino Press", even though the regular DJ Eric said he's off until Wednesday January 12th. Surprise! Some Forever Youngsters were eating when I walked in, and the manager gave "OK" to play dance CDs on their system. By & by there were 14 of us dancing and many other diners some who joined the dancing till they ran us out at 9pm. With folks being mostly ballroom dancers, salsa like "Hablame", disco swing like "I Will Survive", and merengue like "Suavemente" (a song which I see has TWO Wikipedia sites devoted to it) got many dancers up. Nevertheless, line dances "Cumbia Semana", "Todo Todo Todo" and "Coco Jamboo" also got most of us on the floor. Expect DJ Eric and $6 cover charge this coming Wednesday Jan 12th. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Jan 6th, had a mere 8 dancers, but we seemed to all have a lot of fun. DJ RT played the dance songs, mixed with karaoke. The night was filled with lots of ballroom dances, mostly swing and hustle, and line dancing, "Porque Te Quiero" cha cha, "You're The 1st, Last, My Everything" hustle swing, and line dances "Asi Asi", "Cupid Shuffle" and "Electric Slide" the favorites. With attendance low, it's best to call ahead to see what's happening this coming Thursday January 13th. PHOTOS: First of all, from Filipino Night at Lucky Star Wednesday Jan 5th, we see Mona and Dione dancing to the rollicking "Suavemente".
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Jan 6th, Cecil and Leo sang a pretty karaoke duet of the Tagalog ballad "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang Dumating".

P.S. Tita's II, former home of Manila-Tokyo and Jestoni Bistro in National City, continues its slow progress towards opening. Ad in "Filipino Press" has NO mention of dancing, and opening is "Coming Soon".
Hello Dancers, Happy New Year to you and Best Wishes for 2011. We extend condolences to our friend and fellow dancer Rei Toth and her family over the loss of her mother, Elnora Rasing, last week. The line dance to "If You Wanna Be Happy" was the favorite at Point Point and Jade House this past week. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Line dancing at Point Point Joint this past Tuesday Dec 28th featured a ton of food, celebrating both the Holidays and Jun Ancho's birthday. Nely & Gigi & Ledy's husband Ador joined us. "If You Wanna Be Happy" line dance, also known as "Crazy Foot Mambo Line Dance", continued to occupy most of the dancers' attention, with its cute rollicking sound and moderately difficult choreography. We did get to dance some of the more well known line dances, like "Coco Jamboo", "Cumbia Semana", "Rose Garden", and "Tennessee Waltz". THIS TUESDAY (Jan 4th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on December 29th, was again advertised in "Filipino Press", even though the regular DJ Eric said he's off until Wednesday January 12th. Anyway, several people showed up for dancing, and the manager let me play our dance CDs. No cover charge. So, about a dozen of us danced till they ran us out at 9pm. There were line dances, and hustle swing songs "You're The 1st, Last, My Everything" and "Believe" which got everyone up dancing. Dancers also liked the cha cha "La Ultima Noche". If there is any dancing this coming Wednesday Jan 5th, there again should be no cover charge. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Dec 30th, had about 10 dancers. DJ RT started the night with a beautiful serenade of "Unchained Melody" to his girlfriend, Melody. The night was filled with lots of ballroom dances, mostly swing and hustle, and line dancing, karaoke and the Holiday Bowl on TV. Bong practiced a lively dance routine with Penny to the song "Dance With Me". "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Tennessee Waltz" and "Volare" were line dance favorites. Manager Vangie Mangune will be open next Thursday night Jan 6th, 6pm-about 11pm for dinner, dancing and karaoke. Dinner will be from the menus, and no extra cover charge for dancing this week, so if you can make it, come on down. PHOTOS: First of all, from Point Point Joint's Line Dance Night, Tuesday Dec 28th, we see 15 dancers around the Point Point Christmas tree, with Bong and Chona keeping Jun's head warm.
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 30th, Beth and Edith take a break from dancing to warm their hands in front of a heater.
I put those two plus 11 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2010 December' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at

P.S. Eyes are still on the future site of Tita's II, but the ads in "Filipino Press" no longer predict an opening date.
Hello Dancers, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Although the 32nd Street Group's Holiday Party at Fiesta Hall had 100's in attendance, dancers were few at the places I went. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Line dancing at Point Point Joint resumed on Tuesday December 21st, after a one-week break for a Christmas party. "If You Wanna Be Happy" line dance got the most attention. We danced a lot of others, but maybe my sentimental favorite was "Rockin Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu", because I must've had the flu. THIS TUESDAY (Dec 28th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on December 22nd, was advertised in "Filipino Press", but there was more-or-less NO DANCING, probably because DJ Eric is on a holiday vacation. DJ Eric said he's off until Wednesday January 12th, so if there is any dancing this coming Wednesday, there again should be no cover charge. The LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT is at 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, Dec 23rd, had about 10 dancers, including the Mr. Everywhere, Bert Andrade. DJ RT mixed in a good amount of karaoke along with great dance songs like "She Bangs", "Asi Asi", "September", "Todo Todo Todo" and the "Tennessee Waltz" line dance.. Manager Vangie Mangune will be open next Thursday night Dec 30th, 6pm-about 11pm for dinner, dancing and karaoke. Dinner will be off the menu, and no extra cover charge for dancing this week, so if you can make it, come on down. PHOTOS: First of all, from Point Point Joint's Line Dance Night, Wednesday Dec 21st, we see Divine showing Jun the proper steps to "If You Wanna Be Happy", while Nina sits in her DJ booth supervising the whole thing.
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 23rd, DJ RT was full of energy and he joined dancers for the "Cupid Shuffle".
I put those two plus 10 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2010 December' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the December photos are also posted at

Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 16th, Cora had a strong partner for some dance - Cora got a nice big lift at the end of the dance.

Hello Dancers, Dancers at Jade House's Thursday Night Dance Party December 9th were entertained by The Nostalgia Singers. Details below.
TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - Tuesday December 7th, Line Dance Night at Point Point brought about 20 energetic line dancers, including 1st-timer Rene. Nina introduced a country line dance that's popular around the world called "Good Time", a rollicking song by Alan Jackson. Nitz, a 32nd St Group regular, introduced another cute line dance to the Point Point crowd, called "If You Want To Be Happy". MP3's of both are available for you in this Yahoo Group's Files. A lot of time was spent on the dizzying new line dance steps to "Asi Asi". With guys Rene and Bong being more familiar with ballroom dancing, there was some nice swing dancing also taking place, especially to "Achy Breaky Heart". We went through over 10 different line dances again. Among them were "I Love The Nightlife", "Rock Around The Clock", "Sex Bomb", "September", "Simplemente" and "Tennessee Waltz". THIS TUESDAY (Dec 14th) NO DANCING AT POINT POINT. Instead, a Party at Nedy's house. You can join the fun at Point Point again on following Tuesdays (December 21st, December 28th, January 4th, etc.) at Point Point Joint, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will again lead us through fun line dances. $5.
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on December 8th, featured DJ Eric, the One-Man Band. Attendance plunged to 12 dancers, one of the dancers being newcomer Vivian, plus a dozen or more people who were just eating. Among the dancers, there were about the same number of ladies and guys, so there was a lot of dancing, and we frequently had 10 of the 12 dancers on the floor. All the swing and hustle dances got nearly 10 dancers on the floor, like "Hot Stuff" and "You Should Be Dancing". We're looking forward to this coming week's "Filipino Night". It will again be WEDNESDAY NIGHT (December 15th) in the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego, from about 6:30 to 9:30pm.
THURSDAY NIGHT DANCING AT JADE HOUSE at 569 H Street, Chula Vista, had about 20 dancers, including some who sang karaoke and The Nostalgia Singers, on Thursday night December 9th. Because Christmas is getting closer, there was a seasonal festive atmosphere in Jade House. The "Nostalgia Singers", Pressy, Tess, Mina and Lilia, entertained everyone with a variety of pretty songs including Christmas songs. Besides the Nostalgia Singers, there were line dancers from Nina's line dancing group, some from 32 Street Group, and some who go to Lucky Star and Forever Young events. Line dancers were in the majority early in the night and again at the end of the night, but from 9 to 10 ballroom dancers were in the majority. The music matched the audience, and I left at 11 right after "Coco Jamboo". Evelyn had a little jewelry display, and ladies bought a bunch of bling from her. Manager Vangie Mangune will be open next Thursday night 6pm-nearly midnight Dec 16th for buffet dinner, dancing and karaoke, all for $10, so if you can make it, come on down. PHOTOS: First of all, from Point Point Line Dance Night, Tuesday Dec 7th, we see Rei and Gloria taking a break from line dancing to do a bit of swing dancing to "Achy Breaky Heart".
Then, at Jade House on Thursday night Dec 9th, we see The Nostalgia Singers, with Pressy in front and Mina, Lilia and Tess behind her singing a sweet melodic song.
I put those two plus 13 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2010 December' folder. For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the November photos are also posted at
