No Dance This Thursday, March 24, 2016 - It's Holy Thursday

Hello Dancers,  
   In observance of Holy Thursday we have no dance plans for next Thursday night.  I hope you have a Good Friday and joyful Easter next Sunday.  We hope to see you Thursday night March 31st.
  
  It was a fabulous GREEN St. Patricks Day Dance Party last Thursday night March 17, 2016, at the Mira Mesa Senior Center, 8460 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego CA 92126.  LOTS of FREE food courtesy of people like Nick & Eden (spaghetti, salad & more), Romy & Marilyn (guacamole & chips), Josie & the other Romy (macaroni salad), Gigi & Rei (empanadas), Edith (chicken), and lots of other goodies.  DJ Nickie Bascos, Jr., played for over 50 happy dancers till past 10pm.  The following 7 photos tell part of the story.          (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "Show images which are still blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):

THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 2016, at MIRA MESA SR. CENTER ST. PATRICK'S DAY DANCE:

LINE DANCING was well-attended between 5:30-7pm.  Above, dancing "Carinito", a favorite for about 3 years now, it was Eden, Edith and Val in the front line. 

BOOGIE.  Above it was Elsa and Val dancing "Rock Around The Clock".  Val often goes dancing in clubs in Metro Manila - like dancing in Savannah Moon in Quezon City.

CHA CHA.  Tess had fun dancing with Mel (not DJ Mel, but the other Mel) to the cha cha "Corazon Espinaldo".

LADIES IN DISGUISE WITH GLASSES.  Rei and Gigi and Lou besides enjoying the food were celebrating Rei's hubby Mark's recent promotion to Navy Admiral (well, probably to Rear Admiral).

CUMBIA.  Well, I think Elma and Lito were dancing the cumbia "Amor Ala Mexicana".

TODO TODO LINE DANCE.  I call it the Philippine National Line Dance.  Rima, Nedy and Eden were in the front line dancing "Todo Todo Todo", the "new" version.

BORRACHO Y LOCO.  The night would not be complete without "Bachata Risma" (aka "borracho y loco").  Above, Lisa, Neriza and Sophie were in the front line.  



Here's the plan for the next few weeks:

Thursday, March 24, 2016:  Holy Thursday.  No dance is planned.

Thursday, March 31, 2016. Two nighttime dances:  While Dance The Night Away will take place, maybe in an adjacent building at Mira Mesa Sr. Center, there will also be dancing in South San Diego County:  Rubin has arranged for dancing 6pm-10pm at the Eastlake 1 Pavilion clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913.

Thursday, April 7, 2016:  Dance The Night Away at Mira Mesa Sr. Center, 8460 Mira Mesa Blvd., San Diego.  5:30pm-10pm  


  It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night with line dances and ballroom dances like swing including Manila Swing (also known as 4-count hustle or Philippine swing or Filipino swing), cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more.  Well, this week is one of the weeks with no Thursday night dance.  See above for March 31st. 

Hoping to see you on the dance floor then,

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego.  The dances at the Mira Mesa Senior Center, 8460 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego CA 92126, are open to the public.  Non-seniors can be my guest.  While the dancing is continuous, 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.  Hmmm - I bet the simultaneous instructions while others are dancing make these, for example, the best rumba dancing lessons in San Diego.

See you on the dance floor,
