DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday May 9, 2024

Hello Dancers,  

  You are invited to a DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday May 9, 2024, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista, with the wonderful DJ Bing Villafuerte. 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 Bing will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.  A mild and dry night is currently forecast, again.

  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 CINCO DE MAYO & MEXICAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake this past Thursday, May 2nd, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, on a mild and dry night.  There were 65 in attendance, third highest of the year so far, thanks in part to 5 first-timers, and visiting V.I.P. dancers Bert and Lennie Velasco.  Here are 9 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party.  Most were copied from earlier Facebook posts:

 

  LADIES BY EASTLAKE.  Early in the evening Gemma, Janet, Annie, Elaine, Liz, Nora and Nedy posed lakeside for the photo above.

 

 

  LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6pm to 7pm, and after the blessing for about 20 minutes, until ballroom and line dancing alternated until the end of the party.  In the photo above, Bert Velasco was teaching a fox trot line dance to the music of "Somewhere In Time" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZKnvOva9Ek ).

 

 

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

 

 

  UPCOMING EVENTS. In the photo above, "THE RING GIRLS" were holding the signs with the schedule for upcoming Eastlake dances. We see Nora, Lolit, Merely and Mary Jane.

 

 

  BALLROOM DANCING was in abundance.  Dancing the blending of ballroom and line dancing, we see in front Josie & Nedy and Edith & I dancing the waltz line dance to "Les Bicyclettes De Belsize" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF45xpG5lLQ ), in the photo above.

 

 

  SPECIAL PERFORMANCE.  "The Eastlake Dancers" performed a special line dance called "Pizziricco"  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U9dxcIL8wA ).  They were Lolit, Valerie and Roland in front, followed by Irish, Merely and Mary Jane in back.

 

 

  WINNING COUPLES in Cinco de Mayo attire posed for the photo above.  They were DJ Bing & Janet, Irish & Roland, Faye & John, and Isabel & Chris. Josie, Rei and Lydia helped hand out prizes, and Rei donated some prizes.

 

 

  WINNING SINGLES in Cinco de Mayo attire posed for the photo above.  There were too many winners for one photo, so in this photo we see Liz, Edna, Manny, Beth, Nedy, Lolit, Melba, Myrna, Mary Jane, Alice, Estrelle, Gemma, Sunshine and Elsie.  Other winners (who you can see in Facebooks) were Amor, Annie, Elaine, Josie, Karina, Merely, Rossana, Sheila and Valerie.

 

 

 GRAND PRIZE WINNER. In a break from the usual process of random selection from among all the winners to give some prizes, SUNSHINE was selected to get a "grand prize" for the best Cinco de Mayo attire.  Sunshine was judged to be the best by Edith's three kids in attendance, Valerie, Stella and El Conde, and they posed for the photo above.

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.
