Hello Dancers,
You are invited to a DANCE PARTY this Thursday September 28, 2023, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation, and I hope you come because the HOA slashed our dance schedule (see info below). Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The adorable DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm. Dry and mild weather is currently forecast for Thursday night, again.
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.

AN ARABIAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake last Thursday, September 21ST, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, on a mild-weather night. There were just over 55 in attendance, thanks in part to at least 6 VIP dancers from North County. Here are 8 photos from last Thursday's dance party, along with our reduced schedule for October & November:
BY THE LAKE. Early in the evening there were people posing by Eastlake. In the photo above you see Delia, Gemma, Nora, Irish, Annie, Connie, Estrelle, Alice, Liz and May posing, most in Arabian Night costume.
BEFORE EATING, dancers posed for the group photo above, most in Arabian Night costume. Beth gave a blessing for the food, and thankfulness for bringing us all together.
LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6 to 7pm, and off and on until 10PM. In the photo above, you can see Connie, Geraldine, Charito and Roland in the front line, more or less. It was the long-time favorite "Bachata Risma" line dance ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfyfvUpkbqo ), which some of us know as "Borracho Y Loco".
BALLROOM DANCING was plentiful during the night. In the photo above we see Sheik Joe dancing with Princess Gemma to what appears to be a cha-cha.
BELLY DANCING. Well, in the photo above Huda and Janet were demonstrating their skills at belly dancing, which is a dance type popular in Arabic culture.
ROMY SANG to enthusiastic admirers Charito, Annie and Irish in another special number. He sang the swing dance song "Pretty Young Girl" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-eMnHTAjdk ), while dancers danced to its swing tempo.
WINNING COUPLES in Arabian costume posed for a photo. They were Victor & Apple, Geraldine & Romi, Irish & Roland, Connie & Pic, and Lolit & Michael. Two other couples were winners but they were not in this photo - Tex & Mayeth, and Joe & Nora.
WINNING LADIES in Arabian costumes posed in the photo above. They were Delia, Janet (sitting in the background), May, Estrelle, Charito, Rossana, Gemma, Annie, Sheila and Huda. Beth and Eden were also costumed winners, but they were busy along with Josie judging and awarding the prizes.
REDUCED SCHEDULE. Well, we learned on Friday that the Eastlake HOA had other plans for many of "our" Thursdays in October & November. Concrete repairs will take place in early October, and other Eastlake people had reserved Thursdays in October and November. The above schedule was posted in the Eastlake Facebook on Friday night. So, I hope you come this coming Thursday, and October 19th (for combination October Birthday Party and Halloween Costume Party), November 2nd (for the November Birthdays Party), and November 30th (for Cowboy & Western Night), all assuming there are no more changes to the schedule.
So, here's the dance party plan for the next few Thursdays at Eastlake:
Thursday, September 28, 2023: DANCE PARTY at Eastlake, 6pm-10pm at the Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913. DJ Bing Villafuerte.
Thursday, October 5, 2023: NO DANCE, due to construction/repairs.

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 dance in San Diego, with many 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.
