Hawaiian Night at Point Point next Thursday June 9th

Hawaiian Night at Point Point next Thursday June 9th 


Hello Dancers,  
   Point Point Joint has been bustling on Thursdays.  Wear your Hawaiian clothes this coming Thursday.  More details below.        


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - It was VIP night May 24th as Dr. Aurora Cudal and Femie Cupit, who happened to be on a COPAO errand, stopped in and joined us dancers in the Point Point Joint's Ocean Java Room. There ended up being 15 of us.
    But, there were only 4 of us line dancers this past Tuesday (May 31st).  After warming up to a few like "Under The Sun", "If You Wanna Be Happy", and "Locomotion", we spent an hour on "Action" (this link is to the Action Line Dance YouTube video), the fast line dance sung by Toby Keith.  We discussed whether or not to use the steps seen on YouTube.           
    THIS COMING TUESDAY (June 7th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina or someone will lead us through fun line dances. 
   
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHTS at Lucky Star Restaurant on May 25th and June 1st featured the KOLORZ live band.  We made it there May 25th along with over a dozen other dancers, and KOLORZ was indeed a great musical variety band.  "Jealousy (Tango of Love)", "Patricia" cha cha, and swing like "Johnny B Goode" were some of their selections.  Excellent sax players Doug Buchanan and Nor, and singer Teresita performed with KOLORZ on May 25th.                                   
   "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday June 8th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 7:00-9:30PM.  $6 plus one drink minimum.  KOLORZ band will be on stage playing a variety of dance steps, with recorded music during breaks.  


THURSDAY NIGHT (June 2nd) DANCING AT POINT POINT had about 35 dancers.  DJ Leo played the great dance favorites again.  The beautiful rumba "Esta Noche" seemed to get the most dancers, nearly 30, and several others like the "Waltz Line Dance" were loved.  Among line dances, it seemed like "Tennessee Waltz" was the favorite with 20 dancers.  I was listening to the favorite Filipino 2-step when someone at the table told me that the song is "Sinta" by the Filipino vocal group Aegis from 1999.  I'd mistakenly titled it "Nasasabik Ako Saiyo" back in April.  It's certainly become popular at Point Point, as well as on YouTube, and it might be a rarity - the song seems to have grown from being a karaoke favorite at Gapo to a dance favorite at Point Point.  By the way, if anyone's reading this in Manila now, according to the Internet Aegis will be performing at the "22nd Street Comedy Bar" in Antipolo on Saturday June 11th & 18th - if you go, tell them we love them.     
  This coming Thursday June 9th, Leo & Penny invite us all to dance again on the main floor at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.   Party dancing:  6:30-10 PM.  It will be HAWAIIAN NIGHT so wear your Hawaiian attire.   


SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant.  I missed a couple weeks, but I heard it's been fun there lately.  Last night's dance (June 4th) WAS fun with about 30 dancers.  A dozen dancers were celebrating  birthday. Dance stars from the 32nd St group, and Morris & his students looked great. DJ Joey played ballroom and a few line dance favorites.  The favorite was "Lady In Red" night club 2-step with 24 dancers.  Other favorites included "Hot Stuff" disco hustle and "Chattahoochee" boogie-swing.  Parking was a little tight with a big gathering of martial arts enthusiasts going on in the hotel.    
  This coming Saturday June 11th, it'll be dance party time again with DJ Joey at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, 8pm-midnight.  $8

Hello Dancers,  
   Point Point Joint was full, with 50 dancers living it up this past Thursday May 19th.  More details below.  I was out of town for a couple weeks, and many thanks for the kind words about my late dad.  Not many good pictures from early May - if you have some good ones, feel free to send them to me.      


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (May 17th), there were only nine line dancers.  Well, we had fun anyway, dancing line dances like "Under The Sun", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Locomotion" and a new one, "Just The Way You Are" (the new song by Bruno Mars) which was introduced by Nina and Angie on May 10th.

  This coming Thursday May 26th we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.   Party dancing:  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.   


SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa is in its 2nd month in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant.  Those in attendance love it, and the report I got from the May 21st dance was that there were over 30 in attendance.  I was able to get to the dance May 14th, and I had a great time.  Carmi, the dance organizer, was socializing with us (see photo).

TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (April 26th), there were over a dozen line dancers.  Nedy and Gloria added nice color to the night (see photo).  Dancers had fun dancing line dances, once again like "Simplemente", "Come Dance With Me", "Coco Jamboo", "Under The Sun", and "If You Wanna Be Happy".

WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on April 27th had barely 20 dancers - we at least got to know each other better (see photo).  With DJ Eric out of town, DJ Joey was handicapped by losing his laptop.  Luckily, Carmi brought in hers.  As the night went on, we alternated music off the laptop and CDs using Lucky Star's system.  Thanks to the dancing fervor of Jerry, Jun and Rose, everyone kept on dancing.  I saw dancers really having fun to Elvis Crespo's rollicking merengue, "Princesita".  DJ Joey surprisingly played one of my favorites, "Johnny B. Goode", a great boogie dance.                          
   "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday May 4th at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM.  $6 plus one drink minimum.  DJ Joey will be on stage again, and DJ Eric returns to Lucky Star on May 18th.  


THURSDAY NIGHT (Apr 28th) DANCING AT POINT POINT brought in about 45 dancers!  Wow!  The place was packed.  DJ Leo did an excellent job of music selection, I thought, with so many great songs that people had fun dancing to:  "Self Control", "Dance With Me", "If You Wanna Be Happy", "Coco Jamboo", "Esta Noche", "Tennessee Waltz", "First, Last, Everything", and "Linda Eh" a fabulous merengue by Elvis Crespo.  The floor was full for almost every song, and I saw Bert Alota dancing a lot, Rosie and Jun posed nicely for me (see photo) as did Mona (see photo).     
  This coming Thursday May 5th we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.   Party dancing:  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.   


SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING AT FOUR POINTS HOTEL at 8110 Aero Drive on Kearny Mesa/Serra Mesa was in its 3rd week on Saturday April 30th in the hotel's Citrus Restaurant, with about 25 in attendance.  DJ Joey found his laptop that was missing at Lucky Star.  The music selection was LOUD and a lot of Latin, my favorite being "Princesita".  Swing songs included the Bee Gees "Night Fever" four times!  Carmi & Max (see photo) were the dance organizers. The lovely ladies at my table (see photo) included Vivian, Rose and Edith who had all been to Lucky Star on Wednesday, PLUS Cora joined us as did Liz who'd been out of town for a month or so.  Cora and Rose did a great dance to "Hot Stuff" (see photo).   
  This coming Saturday May 7th, it'll be dance party time again at Four Points, 8100 Aero Drive, 8pm-midnight.  $8   


PHOTOS:  
  First of all, from Wednesday April 27th's Filipino Night at Lucky Star,  we see Penny and Rose doing a nice dance to "Lady In Red".         

  Then, at Four Point's Saturday Night Dance April 30th, in between dances we see Vivian, Rose, Edith, Cora and Liz at my table!  A very nice sight!

No Dancing At Point Point on Holy Thursday; T2 Opened

Hello Dancers,  
   In respect for Holy Thursday April 21st, no dancing at Point Point.  Dance again April 28th.  T2 Tita's II Restaurant opened early last week.  More details below.    


TUESDAY NIGHT LINE DANCING - At the Point Point Joint line dancing this past Tuesday (April 12th) about a dozen line dancers had fun and a good time dancing line dances that are new to the group, like "Locomotion", "Come Dance With Me", "Baby Likes to Rock It (Choo Choo Train)", "Under The Sun", "If You Wanna Be Happy", and both versions of "Asi Asi".  We welcomed first-timers Hiroko and Kuniko, and Eva returned after many months.       
      THIS COMING TUESDAY (April 19th) you can join the fun at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, 6:30-9:00, when Nina will lead us through fun line dances.  $5.
   
WEDNESDAY FILIPINO NIGHT at Lucky Star Restaurant on April 13th had about 40 energetic dancers, the most since late October, plus about 30 diners.  Carlos escorted a nice group of ladies from Poway's Dance Station who were there to celebrate Evelyn's birthday.  Filipino Night was back in the main ballroom this past week.  While many dances got at least 20 dancers on the floor, I noticed that "In The Mood Swing Medley", "I Need To Know" cha cha, and "Patricia" cha cha each had about 24 dancers.  Among line dances, "The Right Thing That We Do" waltz, if we call it a line dance, had the most at 20.                          
   "Filipino Night" once again will be this coming Wednesday April 20th with DJ Eric at the LUCKY STAR RESTAURANT, 54th Street & University Avenue, San Diego. 6:30-9:30PM.  $6 plus one drink minimum.  


THURSDAY NIGHT (Apr 7) DANCING AT POINT POINT - the place was packed with just over 50 dancers rollicking to ballroom and line dances played again by DJ Leo.  It was Black & White Attire Night.  The dance floor was pretty crowded all night.  Nearly 40 dancers loved the Filipino 2-step, "Nasasabik Ako Saiyo".  And "The Right Thing That We Do" waltz line dance was played twice getting over 30 both times.  Once again line dancers loved "Locomotion".   
  This coming Thursday April 21st is Holy Thursday so the decision was made to have NO DANCING that night, and to resume on Thursday April 28th when we hope to dance again at Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City.   Party dancing:  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.   


T2 (Tita's II) Restaurant Opened.  After nearly a year of renovations, it opened! "T2" is the new name judging from the sign.  As the Jestoni Manila Bistro, where Thursday night dancing had become a tradition of sorts, it closed at the end of May 2010.  The entrance now has attractive landscaping (see photo), and Cindy (see photo) was at the reception counter when I walked in.  At this time it is an upscale restaurant featuring karaoke with no dancing (see photo).  




PHOTOS:  
  First of all, from Tuesday April 12th's Line Dance Night at Point Point,  we see Rei in front of the ladies dancing "Baby Likes To Rock It (Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train)".       

  Then, at Point Point's Black & White Attire Night Thursday April 14th, we see Rosie, a master of good poses, dancing a tango with Jack.          

   


  I put those two plus 16 other photos from the past week in the Forever Young Group Photos section into the '2011 April' folder.  For those of you who prefer the features of Google's Picasa Web Albums, and you who are non-Yahoo members, the April photos are also posted at
