A MARDI GRAS DANCE PARTY AT EASTLAKE was last Thursday, February 24th, with DJ Mel Zaragoza, about 40 dancers. Here are a few photos, some copied from the Eastlake Shore Thursday Dancer Group Facebook  ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ). 

 

 

TWILIGHT ON THE LAKE.  Nedy got a selfie of twilight on Eastlake just before 6pm.  Daylight saving time will be in place for the St. Patricks Dance Party.

 

 

 LINE DANCING and lessons were non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, Roland and Bing were in the front line dancing a special number line dance, "STYLE" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQhXss8dErA ).  Faye made the ladies' skirts and the guys' vests.  I learned that the traditional colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold.

 

 

 BEFORE EATING, the dancers posed for the photo above, and then Nedy gave a blessing for the food, a prayer that Nick's family has consolation and peace, and that the people and government of Ukraine get peace quickly.  Sadly, Nick passed away Sunday February 20th.

 

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING.  In the photo above, Edna and Mae were dancing. I'm not sure, but the merengue dance "Linda Eh" was played about that time. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw9orjqEPOc ).

 

 

 

 WINNING COUPLES in Mardi Gras attire lined up for photos.  They were Romi & Geraldine, Tom & Nanie, Jhosie & Edwin (who won the Grand Prize), Janet & Bing, Roland & Irish, Connie & Ric, and Helen & Julius.

 

 

 

WINNING LADIES in Mardi Gras attire lined up for photos.  They were Josie, Beth, Nedy, Faye, Annie, Delia, Lolit, Edna, Alice, Pat, Eden, Mae, Nene, Carmen and Juliet.
