COWBOY & WESTERN DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday November 30, 2023

Hello Dancers, 

   We're finally back, and you are invited to a COWBOY & WESTERN NIGHT DANCE PARTY this Thursday November 30, 2023, as we return to Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista, after a 3-week break. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages. Costumed Cowboy & Western Night winners vie for prizes. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share.  The amazing DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.  Cool and possibly rainy weather is currently forecast for Thursday night. Ruben & Roland plan to meet the Eastlake HOA directors tomorrow (the 27th) to request no additional fees or restrictions on our use of the clubhouse.

 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.

This is the best Thursday night dance in San Diego, with many types of dance.

Hello Dancers, 

    SORRY, but there will be NO DANCE PARTY again this Thursday November 23, 2023, at Eastlake.  The Eastlake HOA slashed our dance schedule.  The next Eastlake Thursday night dance is scheduled for November 30th for the Cowboy & Western Night Dance Party.  

 (Note:   If the following schedule does 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 place where the schedule should be, or go to http://bertdonaldson.blogspot.com to see the whole email.  You can see many great photos and videos from previous dances on Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ), and on the EastLake Shore Thursday Dance Group Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ).

Hello Dancers,  

    SORRY, but there will be NO DANCE PARTY this Thursday November 9, 2023, at Eastlake.  The Eastlake HOA slashed our dance schedule.  The next Eastlake Thursday night dance is scheduled for November 30th for the Cowboy & Western Night Dance Party.   

 (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 place where the photos should be, or go to http://bertdonaldson.blogspot.com to see the whole email.  You can see many great photos and videos from previous dances on Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ), and on the EastLake Shore Thursday Dance Group Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ).

A NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake last Thursday, November 2nd, with DJ Bing Villafuerte.  There were 45 in attendance, thanks in part to three 1st-timers.  Here are 7 photos from last Thursday's Halloween & Birthday Dance Party:

 

 

BY THE LAKE, ONE MORE TIME.  Early in the evening there were people posing by Eastlake, on the last Thursday before the end of Daylight Saving Time.  Daylight Saving Time returns in mid-March. In the photo above you see Janet, Nora, Annie, Rei and Edith posing.

 

 

 

 LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6 to 7pm, and off and on with ballroom dances until 10PM.  In the photo above, you can see Irish, Connie and Edna in the front line, more or less, enjoying a line dance.

 

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING was plentiful.  In the photo above John and Faye were enjoying what appears to be a night club 2-step.

 

 

 

 GROUP PHOTO.  Well, there were 100's of group photos taken on Thursday night.  The photo above was part of a celebration of a performance of the Eastlake Dance Group, who danced a line dance at the UPI 2023 Dance-a-Thon Group Dance Contest and won 1st Place. Edith & I held a Certificate of Recognition from UPI and a photo of the winning Eastlake Dance Group.

 

 

 

 THE EASTLAKE DANCE GROUP, well at least four of them, danced at the party. You can see Roland, Lolit, Geraldine and Irish line dancing a "special number".  They were dancing the "Poco Loco" line dance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIN4oRZ9KYY ).

 

 


 THE BIRTHDAY CAKE & CUPCAKES (in the photo above) were more delicious creations by Veronica. The cake featured three layers separated by vanilla filling, and incredible decorations.

 

 

 

 BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS Pat, Beth, Guillermo, Janet, Annie and Roland who have November birthdays, posed for the photo above.
