Wednesday Night Dancing at Lucky Star

Hello Dancers,
Wednesday night dancing with a Fil-Am flavor is returning to Lucky Star.  The "Grand Opening" is next Wednesday June 6th, and the DJ will be Jun Ancho.  Jun told me the dancing will be every Wednesday from 6pm - 9:30pm, featuring non-stop dancing, both ballroom and line dancing.  I asked about Jona - she may be greeting us at the door.  Lucky Star Seafood Restaurant, 3893 54th Avenue, in shopping center at corner of University Avenue, has one of the finest ballrooms in all of San Diego.    Lucky Star Seafood Restaurant features a steamed lobster special for $13.95 on Wednesday nights.  For Wednesday night dancing, a $6 cover charge and 1-drink minimum will apply. DJ Jun's contact number: 619-456-7581.  Jun is promising a night of fun dancing - night club two-step, swing, cha cha, tango, merengue, and more - and, of course, line dancing - so let's join the Grand Opening festivities next Wednesday June 6th.


Till then,
Bert (& Edith) 619-224-3095.


Wednesday Night Success at Lucky Star


Hello Dancers,
  Wow!!  I was impressed!  I think most of the VIPs among San Diego's Fil-Am dancers were at last night's "Grand Opening" of DJ Jun Ancho's Wednesday Night Dancing at Lucky Star.  Mid-week no less.  About 50 dancers plus many others just eating. The dancers were looking good and dancing very well.  The sound & songs were good.  The ballroom was excellent.  Powder on the floor by the stage - watch your step.  
  Who all was there?  


Well, first of all the beautiful Jona was a wonderful sight for sore eyes when she greeted us at the door.


  In the ballroom there was Bert & Lennie Velasco of the Dancesation from Infinity dance studios, Joe & Esta Velasco of the RMX group from the Studio FX, Dante & his leading ladies from Bay Terraces Fil-Am Seniors (Tooma Park), the leading ladies of Forever Young from Point Point, and many others including Roger & Fely of K-P Hall Seniors, and Ping of Gen. Trias.  






  Speaking of sore eyes, we wished Esta Velasco (line dancing in shades above) a speedy recovery from her recent eye surgery.


  RMX's leading Zumba Dance Instructor, Lulu, was there.  We reminisced about when I last saw her dance in Lucky Star - when was that? - Weds Nov 10, 2010! 


Above we see dancers doing what?  Bachata?  Maybe samba.




  The music:  Ballroom of all sorts, including night club 2-steps like "I Want To Know What Love Is", hustle-swing like "What a Feeling" from Flashdance, rumba like "The Way You Look Tonight", west coast swing like "Fever", salsa like "Ave Maria Lola", cha cha, merengue, tango, bolero, waltz - and line dances of course - older ones like "Rumba Samba Mambo" and "S'Aimera" and many newer ones.  




   Here we see dancing hip hop to "California Love".




  Wednesday night dancing with a Fil-Am flavor will continue at Lucky Star.  Next Wednesday June 13th DJ Jun will spin the music, starting even before 6pm all the way to 9:30pm.  DJ Jun made a point of saying he won't repeat the ballroom songs he played until July.  Lucky Star Seafood Restaurant, 3893 54th Avenue, in shopping center at corner of 54th & University Avenue.    Lucky Star Seafood Restaurant features a steamed lobster special for $13.95 on Wednesday nights.  For Wednesday night dancing, a $6 cover charge and 1-drink minimum will apply. DJ Jun's contact number: 619-456-7581.
