Hello Dancers,  

 Sorry, but there is NO Thursday night dance at Eastlake this Thursday, March 28th, in honor of Holy Thursday. But, please come back on Apr. 4th for the April Birthdays Party.

A DANCE PARTY was at Eastlake this past Thursday, March 21st, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, on a mild and mostly dry night.  There were 65 dancers in attendance, thanks in part to three 1st-timers.  It was close to the all-time high attendance for Thursday night dancing at Eastlake that we had at the St. Patrick's Party. Once again, there was a lot going on.  Here are 6 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party.  Most were copied from earlier Facebook posts:

 


  LADIES BY EASTLAKE.  Early birds Rei, Janet, Nora, Edith, Liz and Valerie posed lakeside in the photo above.

 

 


  LINE DANCING was non-stop from 6 to 7pm, and off and on with ballroom dances until 10pm. In Nedy's selfie photo above, we see Jhosie next to first-timers Sol and Morena in the front line, with Beth, Nora and Estrelle behind them.

 

 


  BEFORE EATING, dancers posed for the group photo above. Nedy gave a blessing for the food, and thankfulness for bringing us all together.

 

 


  BALLROOM DANCING was in abundance. In Nedy's selfie photo above, we see Valerie dancing with Romy in what appears to be a cha-cha or swing. 

 

 


  THE DEBUT OF "THE RING BOYS".  Holding the signs with the schedule for upcoming Eastlake dances we see Roland, Mark, Michael and Chris.  Someone came up with the idea of replacing Ring Girls with Ring Boys this week, and judging by the cheers that the Ring Boys got from the women, it was a very good idea. Note that there is NO DANCE this coming Thursday in honor of Holy Thursday.

 

 


 A LINE DANCING SPECIAL PERFORMANCE, in the photo above, was performed by The Eastlake Dancers group, to "Tragedy" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC_TNtVgyCw ).  In front we see Irish and Connie, with Mary Jane, Lolit and Liz behind them, and Valerie and Roland in back.
