And, there were plenty of ballroom dances.  Dancing the bachata, above it was Tito and Gloria.

Right next to them were Beth and the venerable Bert Andrade.

We gave a big welcome to Jojo.  It had been about a year since she was last at Thursday night at Point Point Joint.  Above, she's dancing a bachata with Tito. 

Edith's daughter Lala and hubby Art were there with their daughter Tassja and friend Lian.  I got to dance with them - in the photo above I was dancing Manila Swing with Tassja.     

   We had lots of fun dancing to "ballroom" dance songs like "Why" (swing), "Red Hot" (boogie - East Coast Swing), and "Ave Maria Lola" (salsa).  And, the women loved the line dances including:  "Carinito", "Mamita Mia", and "Jamaican Love".
