Hello Dancers,
Merry Christmas.!!! You are invited to a NEW YEAR MASQUERADE DANCE PARTY this Thursday December 29, 2022, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages, and prizes for selected best attire winners. PLUS, each of the 3 weeks after that will be special with: a COWBOY & WESTERN NIGHT, the JANUARY BIRTHDAYS PARTY, and a CHINESE NEW YEAR PARTY. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation. Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The marvelous DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.
MASKS required? Well, the homeowners association still has a "masks recommended" sign on the door. In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, a bad cough, or other serious 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.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties. This is Thursday night ballroom and line dancing in San Diego. This is the best Thursday night cha cha dance in San Diego, with many other types of dance. While the dancing and music are 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.
