MEXICAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY at Eastlake This Thursday May 4, 2017

Yes Dancers!     

 It'll be a MEXICAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY at Eastlake this Thursday night May 4th, the day before Cinco De Mayo, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista.  There'll be prizes for Best Attire, lots of fun, and snacks.  It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share.  The marvellous DJ Bing Villafuerte 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 gated fence. 

Last Thursday (April 27th) at Eastlake, thanks in part to 4 first-timers, 25 dancers had a great time to music provided by DJ Mel Zaragoza, as you can see in the 5 photos below, plus last year's winners.  (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.)


LADIES BY THE LAKE.  It was just after sunset when Edith, Becky, Nedy, Nora, and Nina came out to the railing for a photo by Eastlake.




FOOD LINE.  Folks lined up to get some food.  Nina gave the blessing and a prayer for Nick Enriquez who is recovering from a broken arm and complications in a convalescent home.   Here's a "Thank You", and some credits. Becky & Aniel brought lasagna.  Elma & Fred brought spring rolled sandwiches.  Nina brought fried rice.  Bert Alota & Suzanne brought papaya.  There was pizza and more. 




LINE DANCING.  Above, dancing to "Bambola Italiana", a relatively new one for Thursday night, Edith and Nora were in the front line.




DJ MEL danced with Elma to the boogie, "Long Tall Sally".




BALLROOM DANCING is what we guys prefer.  Above, Daisy danced with Fred to the boogie, "Long Tall Sally"




FLASHBACK:  2016 MEXICAN NIGHT WINNERS.  2016's Mexican Night was on May 5, 2016.  Above, Best Attire winners Dwayne, Eva, Mike, two Romys and Marilyn got prizes from judges Edith and Nina.


Here's the dance party plan for the next few Thursdays at Eastlake:

Thursday, May 4, 2017:  MEXICAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY in Eastlake, 6pm-10pm at the Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913.  Prizes for best attire.   DJ Bing Villafuerte.

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 cumbia dance in San Diego.
