NEW YEAR'S Dance Party at Eastlake This Thursday December 29, 2016

Merry Christmas, Dancers!   

  NEW YEAR'S DANCE and MASQUERADE PARTY is this Thursday night Dec. 29th at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista.  There'll be prizes for best attire, lots of fun, and snacks and beverages.  It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share.  The marvelous DJ Mel Zaragoza will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.   

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 of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the the gated fence. 


Last Thursday (Dec. 22nd) was the CHRISTMAS DANCE at Eastlake.  DJ Mel played for about 45 joyous dancers, many is festive red attire, as you can see in the 9 photos below.  (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.)

CHRISTMAS DINNER LINE-UP.  Romy gave the blessing.  If you think the photo looks odd, it's because I had to paste 2 photos together to get the whole line.

THE FOOD was fabulous.  Too much for me to get all credits - Nick & Eden brought turkey & ham & clam chowder & scalloped potatoes & sweet potatoes & green beans & melon balls.  Emelie brought cookies & dessert.  Beth brought a banana dessert & watermelon.  And, there was more.  Emil Buencamino took the photo above.  Emil, who operated a Photo Booth during the dance, posted the photo above and about 50 other photos from the Dance on his website (When you're there, click on "Gallery", then "Thursday Dance @ Eastlake", then click on a photo to activate the slide show).

RUMBA.  We guys preferred the ballroom dances.  Above, Eva and Dwayne danced to the rumba "Quien Sabe".

LINE DANCES were abundant, including non-stop from 6pm-7pm.  Later on, the long-running favorite "Caballero" packed the floor.

PHOTO FRENZY erupted when "Caballero" dancers saw us taking their picture, sort of prematurely ending that line dance.

WINNERS of the Best Attire Contest lined up with their prizes.  Dwayne, Eva, Neriza, Rei, Eden, judge Edith, Josie, Jona, Marilyn, Nene, Myrna and Bert Alota.

KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE.  A few of us managed to get a kiss under the Christmas Mistletoe, including Joel and Rima in the photo above, with mistletoe hanging over their heads.

GROUP PHOTO.  Most of the dancers who were in Eastlake at quitting time got together for a group photo, above.

LOST & FOUND.  The clean-up folks found the bifocal glasses that are in the photo above.  If you know whose glasses were left at Eastlake, give me a call - I have them.

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 and music is non-stop, 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 rumba dancing in Chula Vista.
