DANCE PARTY at LOLA HAPPY BISTRO Thursday March 20, 2025

Hello Dancers,  

  You are invited to our second DANCE PARTY at Lola Happy Bistro this coming Thursday March 20th, at Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950 ( https://lolahappybistro.com/ ), with the spectacular DJ Nickie Bascos.  There'll be lots of dancing, fun, and food and beverages off the menu (don't bring any food or beverages - you are urged to buy a dinner, even if you just take it home).  DJ Nickie will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 9:30pm.  A cool and dry night is currently forecast.

  DIRECTIONS:  Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950, is almost a mile east of the 805-Plaza Blvd exit, at the signal-lighted intersection of Plaza Blvd and Manchester Street. We will be in the restaurant with some regular customers.

 (Note:   You can see many great photos and videos from previous dances on Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565637576717 ), and on the recently-renamed Thursday Night Dancers Group Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1891499784211962 ). You should join the Thursday Night Dancers Facebook and post your dance photos and videos there.)
 
A ST PATRICK'S & MARCH BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Lola Happy Bistro for our first Thursday night party there, this past Thursday, March 13, 2025, with DJ Nickie Bascos, on a cold and lightly raining night.  There were about 65 in attendance, thanks in part to 7 first-timers, and 9 who had not been with us since before the pandemic.  Here are 8 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party, many copied from Facebook posts:

 BALLROOM DANCING was abundant. In the photo above, Roland and Irish enjoyed a cha cha dance to "Quiero" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOs0QUzicBM ).

 

 

  BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS with birthdays in March posed, some with roses and balloons, and they got congratulations.  They were DJ Nickie, Joe, Aurea, Faye, Sally, Eva, Dwayne and Merely.  Chris was also a celebrant, just not in this photo.

 

 

  LINE DANCING was a favorite, too.  In the photo above, Roland led the still-titled Eastlake Dancers in an Irish-themed line dance called "The Last Shanty" line dance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80gcVg0YpwA ).  Along with Roland in the front line, more of less, were Marilinda and Merely.

 

 

  WINNING COUPLES in St. Patick's Night attire posed for the photo above.  They were Rima & Joel, Willy & Merely, Dwayne & Eva, Joe & Nora, Chris & Remy, Cesar & Fe, Roland & Irish, and Faye & John.  Josie was a prize donor.

 

 

  WINNING SINGLES (well, seven on the left) in St. Patrick's Night attire posed for the photo above.  In this photo we see Nedy, Angie, Karina, Virgie, Beth, Hector (hidden), and Marilinda. Vicky, Melba and May were also winners but they were not in either photo of winners.

 

 

  WINNING SINGLES (well, those in the right half) in St. Patrick's Night attire posed for the photo above.  In this photo we see Minda, Mary Jane, Lolit, Beth, Pat, Aurea, Estrelle and Sally.
