A DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake last Thursday, December 1st, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, and 56 dancers, thanks in part to twelve 1st-timers. Here are some photos:

 

 

BEFORE EATING, dancers posed for the photo above. Nedy gave a blessing and gratitude for the food, and a prayer for everyone's good health.

 

 

 

 LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6pm to 7pm, then off and on until 10pm.  In the photo above, Lolit was in front of many dancers.

 

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING was frequent.  In the selfie photo above, Nedy snapped Cindy and birthday celebrant Chito enjoying a west coast swing, probably, such as "Roadrunner" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VGf0u-xOYU ),  which was played.

 

 

 

 THE BIRTHDAY CAKE.  Once again, Myra (Veronica) baked a fabulous birthday cake for the celebrants and dancers.  Besides the elaborate decorations, the cake featured a layer of strawberries and peaches and cream.

 

 

 

 BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS with birthdays in December were singing along to Happy Birthday in the photo above.  They were Vangie, Araceli, Nida, Chito, Estrelle and Edna.

 

 

 

NIDA BY THE TREE.  In the photo above, birthday celebrant Nida posed in front of the Christmas tree.  I assume the Eastlake association brought in the tree, lights and several poinsettia potted plants. The tree was next to the DJ's table.
