DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday February 1, 2024

Hello Dancers,  

 You are invited to a special DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday February 1, 2024, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista, as DJ Mel Zaragoza is making a special one-time trip from Riverside for this dance. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. DJ Mel will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.  UNFORTUNATELY, a cold rainy night is currently forecast, so we'll see who are the hardy party people.

  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.

A 70's DISCO NIGHT DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake this past Thursday, January 25th, with DJ Nickie Bascos, on a cool but dry night.  There were just over 50 dancers in attendance.  Here are 7 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party.  Most were copied from earlier Facebook posts:
