MARDI GRAS DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday February 24, 2022

Hello Dancers, 

   You are invited to a MARDI GRAS DANCE PARTY this Thursday February 24, 2022, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, beverages, and prizes for best Mardi Gras attire. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The marvelous DJ Mel Zaragoza will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS required?  Well, the homeowners association still had a "masks requested" sign on the door.  In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, cough, or other cold or flu symptoms.  Anyone can wear a mask who chooses. Everyone should bring a mask, just in case the requirements change at the last minute.

DIRECTIONS: Take H Street east to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then turn right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into the parking lot of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the gated fence.

A DANCE PARTY AT EASTLAKE was last Thursday, February 17th, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, and 30 dancers. Here are a few photos, some copied from the Eastlake Shore Thursday Dancer Group Facebook  ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ).

  

 

LINE DANCING and lessons were non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, Lolit and Nedy were in the front line dancing a current favorite "Cold Heart" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De2dpLmRas ).

 

 

 

 BEFORE EATING, the dancers posed for the photo above, and then Nedy gave a blessing for the food and a prayer for quick recovery of Nick.

 

 

 

 DJ BING, in the photo above, kept the music and dancers going all evening.

 

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING.  In the photo above, Irish and Roland were dancing, and I think it was the night-club two-step "Yo Te Amo" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkVbgpXXR0M ).

 

 

 

 SWING.  Susie and Leo got to do a bit of ballroom dancing in a circle of admirers, while they danced jive boogie to "Swing The Mood" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iDwk4n39R0 ).  And, Geraldine was recording the dance - the video is in the Eastlake Shore Thursday Dance Group Facebook.

 

 FLASHBACK TO 2019's MARDI GRAS NIGHT:

 

 

2019 MARDI GRAS NIGHT BEST ATTIRE WINNERS lined up for the photo above on Feb. 28, 2019.  DJ Mel was one of the winners, and he was kneeling for the photo.  Yes, it's been 3 years since we had a Mardi Gras Dance Party.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night ballroom and line dancing in San Diego. This is the best Thursday night Filipino-American dance in San Diego, with many types of dance. While the dancing and music are non-stop, there are dancers who are happy to give free dance one-on-one lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.
