Hello Dancers, 

   You are invited to a NEW YEAR MASQUERADE DANCE PARTY this Thursday December 30, 2021, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, beverages, and prizes for best Masquerade Ball attire. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The phenomenal DJ Mel Zaragoza will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS to prevent COVID spread?  Well, the homeowners association has requested mask-wearing to meet COVID coronavirus requirements. In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, cough, or other cold or flu symptoms.  Anyone can wear a mask who chooses. Everyone should bring a mask, just in case the requirements change at the last minute.

DIRECTIONS: Take H Street east to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then turn right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into the parking lot of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the gated fence.

THE CHRISTMAS DANCE PARTY AT EASTLAKE was last Thursday, December 23rd, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, and almost 50 dancers braving the cool rainy night. Here are a few photos: 



BEFORE EATING, the dancers posed for the photo above.


 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING.  We guys preferred ballroom dancing.  In the photo above VIPs Carmen and Morris Maraya were dancing to the nightclub 2-step "Yo Te Amo" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ ). Morris is a well-known dance instructor in San Diego.

 

 

 

 LINE DANCING.  Line dancing was non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, around 8pm the Eastlake and JIF Dancers performed a line dance to "Save the Last Dance for Me" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTlgdkzc2Z8 ). Ballroom dancing continued off & on until 10pm.

 

 


  COLD HEART line dance was sort of appropriate for the cold weather.  The "Bing and Roland Group" was dancing "Cold Heart" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De2dpLmRas ) in the photo above, with Karina and Irish in the front line, more or less.

DJ NICKIE kept the great music going all evening.

 

 

 

SELFIES, like the one above from Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ) were taken all night.  Nora and Nedy, with a full dance floor behind them, are in the photo. 

 

 

 

BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS lined up for photos, like the one above, in which they held candles from the birthday cakes.  It was Roland, Janet, Annie, Beth, Neriza and Pat.

 

 

 

BIRTHDAY CAKES WERE BEING CUT, in the photo above.  Myra (Veronica) baked the fruit-topped cake. 

 

 

 

CUMBIA DANCING.  I got to dance with Roxanne to the cumbia "Que Nadie Supe Mi Sufrir" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAHXkLhbaFU ).

POSE BEFORE FOOD TIME. Dancers posed for the photo above before eating a wonderful selection of food. There were 65 dancers enjoying the great food during the night, surpassing the old record of 63 dancers in 2018.  There were so many beautiful and creative Halloween costumes that I include some of my favorites in the photos below.

 

 

 

 MAJESTIC ROYALTY seemed to be what Edwin, Nancy and Josie were, in the photo above.  There are over 100 photos like this in the EastLake Shore Thursday Dance Group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ).

 

 


QUEEN JANET.  Well, I think Janet came as an Egyptian queen, in the photo above.
