Hello Dancers,
Well, there will be NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday December 25th (Christmas), or on the following Thursday January 1st (New Years Day) at Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950 ( https://lolahappybistro.com/ ), also because we reduced the schedule to have dances only for special events, usually every other week. So, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR, and come to the January Birthdays Party on January 8th, especially if you have a birthday in January.
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 CHRISTMAS DANCE PARTY was at Lola Happy Bistro on this past Thursday night, December 18, 2025, with DJ Nickie Bascos. On a mild and dry night, there were over 70 in attendance, the most dancers in 2025, thanks in part to 8 first-timers, and Christmas celebrators. Here are 5 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party, all were copied from Facebooks.
GROUP PHOTO. Dancers posed for the photo above early in the evening, most in Christmas attire.
BALLROOM DANCING was abundant. In the Nedy's selfie above, Annie and DJ Nickie danced what I think was the swing/hustle dance "Casablanca" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R_dtZ_qnjM ), in their Christmas attire.
UPCOMING THURSDAY NIGHTS signs for Thursday nights at Lola Happy Bistro were held by "Ring Girls" Luz, Nila (a 1st-timer), Christia (a 1st-timer) and Joy, all in Christmas attire, in the photo above.
LINE DANCING was a favorite. In the photo above, Roland's Inspiring Dancers, in Christmas attire with colored lights, performed "LAST CHRISTMAS" line dance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnbdnC1q3l4 ). In front was Remy, with Roland, Merely (hidden) and Lolit behind her, and Eva and Irish in back.
"THE FRIENDS" PERFORMED. In the photo above "The Friends", in Christmas attire with colored scarves, had just finished dancing a Christmas song "Pasco Na Naman" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TACvpEza7Wk ) dance choreographed by Angie. In the photo were Rei, Connie, Josie, Nedy, Angie and Beth.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is where to find a great dancing on Thursday night in San Diego -- at Lola Happy Bistro in National City, with ballroom and line dances, Filipino dances, cha cha cha dancing and swing dancing on a Thursday night in San Diego. While the dancing and music will be non-stop, there are dancers who are happy to give free one-on-one ballroom and line dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.
