NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY at LOLA HAPPY BISTRO Thursday April 23, 2026

Hello Dancers,  
    Well, there will be NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday April 23rd, at Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950, because we reduced the schedule to have dances only for special events, usually every other week.  BUT, be sure to come to the CINCO DE MAYO (MEXICAN) NIGHT DANCE PARTY on April 30, 2026, especially if you have some Cinco De Mayo (Mexican) attire.


  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 a few regular customers.

An APRIL BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Lola Happy Bistro on this past Thursday night, April 16, 2026, with DJ Bing Villafuerte.  The party was in Lola Happy Bistro, on a mild and dry night.  There were 50 in attendance thanks in part to 8 first-timers.    Here are 6 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party, most were copied from Facebooks:

  BALLROOM DANCING was abundant. In the Nedy's selfie above, Estrelle and Ver were dancing what I think was a tango.

 

 

UPCOMING THURSDAY NIGHTS signs for Thursday nights at Lola Happy Bistro were held by "Ring Girls" Fe, Penny, Eva and Faith in the photo above.

 

 

  LINE DANCING was a favorite.  In the photo above, Roland's Inspiring Dancers performed the line dance "Wishing You All the Best" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auCYn96swJI ).   In front was Eva. Behind her were Faith and Remy.  Behind them were Irish and Lolit. Mayet and Roland were off to the right.

 

 

  BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS -- Ver, Mark, Zee (a first-timer), and DJ Bing with birthdays in April, posed for the photo above.  The cake was a delicious chocolate cake.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is where happy dance clubs go for ballroom and line dancing on Thursday nights in San Diego and National City -- a Filipino-American dance 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.
