P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is where to find great dancing on a Thursday night in San Diego -- at Lola Happy Bistro in National City, with ballroom and line dancing, 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.
