OLD TOWN Dance This Thursday September 1, 2016

Hi Again Happy Dancers!  
  It's a dance party back in Old Town this Thursday night, September 1, 2016, in the Old Town Community Church, 2444 Congress Street, San Diego.  There'll be snacks and beverages.  A $5 donation will be requested.  It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share.  The wonderful DJ Bing Villafuerte will play line dances 6pm-7pm, followed by mixed ballroom and line dancing until 10pm.  
DIRECTIONS:  Take I-5 to Old Town Avenue.  Go about 2 blocks towards Old Town to San Diego Avenue and turn left.  Go a block and make a slight left at a Y-intersection onto Congress Street. The church (2444 Congress St) is on the right, 2 blocks ahead. 


Last Thursday, August 25, 2016, was SHORTS NIGHT dance with DJ Mel Zaragoza playing at Eastlake for over 30 dancers, as you can see in the following 5 photos.  Ruben, our Eastlake sponsor just went to Peru for 2 weeks.   (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.  If that doesn't work, you can either click on the places where the photos should be, or go to this website to see the whole email.)


THURSDAY AUGUST 25, 2016, SHORTS NIGHT at Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse:

THE FOOD LINE.  Once again the food was great.  DJ Mel brought paella.  Nick & Eden brought chicken macaroni salad.  Nedy brought chicken noodle soup, and there was a lot more.  I think you know the names of all the lovely ladies in the food line. 

LINE DANCING was non stop from 6 until 7pm.  Above, Maria, Edith, Nedy and Elma were in the front line dancing to a favorite - "Carinito".  

THE PRIZE WINNERS.  While DJ Mel played "Short Shorts", winners (above holding their Shorts Night Attire Contest prizes) Eden, Eva and Myrna came to the front.  Edith and Nina awarded the prizes. 

BALLROOM Dancing.  Yes, we guys preferred ballroom dancing.  Above, Gino and Esther danced to what I think was a cha cha.

DAISY AND LITO were also dancing nicely. 

Here's the plan for the next few weeks for Thursday night dances:

Thursday, September 1, 2016:  Dance Party back in Old Town, 6pm-10pm for at the Old Town Community Church, 2444 Congress Street, San Diego.  DJ Bing Villafuerte.

Old Town Community Church, 2444 Congress Street, San Diego

Parking Lot Entrance is around the corner on Conde Street.  If you are early enough, there'll still be parking in the church parking lot, or along the entrance driveway, next to the church parsonage.  Otherwise, park on the surrounding streets. 


Thursday, September 8, 2016:  Dance Party back in Old Town, with BIRTHDAY PARTY for September celebrants.  6pm-10pm for at the Old Town Community Church, 2444 Congress Street, San Diego.  DJ Mel Zaragoza.


Thursday, September 15, 2016:  POLKA DOT NIGHT Dance Party with prizes, 6pm-10pm back at the Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913.  Polka dot attired is suggested.  DJ Bing Villafuerte.


Thursday, September 22, 2016:  Dance Party in Eastlake, 6pm-10pm at the Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913.  DJ Bing Villafuerte.


  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, rumba and much much more.   


Hoping to see you on the dance floor,

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 Thursday night cumbia dancing in San Diego.
