NO DANCE PARTY at LOLA HAPPY BISTRO Thursday October 30, 2025

Hello Dancers,  
  Well, there will be NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday October 30th, at Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950 ( https://lolahappybistro.com/ ), because we  reduced the schedule to have dances only for special events, usually every other week.  So, come to the November Birthdays Party on November 6th, especially if you have a birthday in November. 

  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.

A HALLOWEEN NIGHT DANCE PARTY was at Lola Happy Bistro on this past Thursday night, October 23, 2025, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, on a mild and dry night.  There were 50 in attendance, thanks in part to 6 first-timers, and visiting VIPs DJ Marie and her Prime Ladies.  Here are 8 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party, all were copied from Facebooks:
