CARIBBEAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY and HAT CONTEST at EASTLAKE this Thursday June 16, 2016

YES Dancers!
  Another contest!  We had so much elegant fun with FILIPINO NIGHT, that Nina announced CARIBBEAN NIGHT and CRAZY HATS this Thursday night June 16, 2016, at Eastlake I's Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista.  There'll be complementary snacks and beverages, and some Prizes for the best hats.  From 6pm-10pm the spectacular DJ Bing will play swing, cha cha, rumba, and much more - and of course - LINE DANCING - which is non-stop from 6-7pm.  A $5 donation will be requested.  It'll be a FUN "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share.    DIRECTIONS:  Take the H Street East to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into parking lot - the Beach Club is behind the the gated fence.


  Last Thursday June 9, 2016, was FILIPINO NIGHT with many fabulous outfits, and DJ Bing playing to over 35 glamorous dancers at Eastlake.  The following eleven photos below tell part of the story - plus a photo from the 2015 Caribbean & Hat Night.           (Note: If the following 12 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):

FOOD.  Above, Myrna and Marilyn were in front of the food line.  Nick & Eden brought delicious homemade lasagna, corn and garlic bread.  Nedy brought lumpier.  Beth brought sweet bananas.  1st-timers Ed & Lisa brought a cheese platter.  There was much more.

CHA CHA.  Above, Elma and Lito danced to the bachata "Loco".

THREE WINNERS.  Dolores and Nedy later won prizes for best dress, and Eva later won a best couple prize with Dwayne.

COUPLES PARADED.  Above, winners Dwayne and Eva walked around the room.

MARILYN and ROMY won the top couple's prize.  Also, if I got the story right, recently Marilyn became the Mrs Philippines of San Diego's FilAm Unity Group of CA.  Congratulations Marilyn! 

ALL WINNERS.  Above, Nina managed to get all the best Filipino Night attire winners and "escorts" to line up for photos.

LINE DANCING was was non-stop from 6pm-7pm.  Then, periodically until 10pm.  Above Beth and Rei were in the front line dancing to "Take Me Away". 

BALLROOM.  We guys preferred the ballroom dances.  Above, Ping and Elsie were dancing to the cha cha "Smooth".

BEFORE WE GO.  Because there was so much fun & glamor, many dancers stayed past ten for more photos, like the photo above.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night dancing in San Diego.  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 free line dancing lessons in San Diego.
