Hello Dancers,  

  You are invited to an DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday April 11, 2024, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista, with the marvelous DJ Nickie Bascos. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. DJ Nickie will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.  A mild and dry night is currently forecast.

  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.

AN APRIL BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake this past Thursday, April 4th, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, on a cool but dry night, before light rain.  There were almost 70 dancers in attendance  again, thanks in part to three 1st-timers, and once again it was close to the all-time high attendance for Thursday night dancing at Eastlake. Here are 7 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party.  Most were copied from earlier Facebook posts:

 

 LADIES BY EASTLAKE.  Early birds Valerie, Nora, Janet, Edith, Edna and Rei posed lakeside in the photo above.

 

 

  BEFORE EATING, dancers posed for the group photo above. Nedy gave a blessing for the food, and thankfulness for bringing us all together.

 

 

 LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6 to 7pm, and off and on with ballroom dances until 10pm. In the photo above the relatively new group, "The Friends" in red & black, performed a special line dance to the song "Mambo Italiano", using the steps of "Quiero" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMeMkh4_UZ0 ).  They were Eden and Karina in front, Beth, Nedy & Rei in the middle, with Sheila and Josie in the 3rd row.

 

 

  UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR EASTLAKE THURSDAY DANCES were displayed by Ring Girls Merly, Remy, Elsie and 1st-timer Lisa.

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING was in abundance. Ver and Ditas danced in the photo above.  It looks like it was a cha cha.

 

 

  THE BIRTHDAY CAKE was another marvelous creation by Myra (Veronica), featuring strawberries, peaches and other fruits.  The names of 5 of the birthday celebrants were not known when the cake decorations were put in place.

 

 

 

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION was held for 10 April celebrants, surrounded by lots of photographers, so a clear photo of all 10 was impossible.  In any case, the 10 celebrants were Myrna, May, Fred, Mark, Ping (hidden), Ver (hidden), Karina, Angie, Yolanda and DJ Bing.

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 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.
