NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY at LOLA HAPPY BISTRO Thursday July 2, 2026

Hello Dancers,  
    Well, there will be NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday July 2nd, 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 HAWAIIAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY on July 9, 2026, especially if you have some Hawaiian 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.

A JUNE BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY was at Lola Happy Bistro on this past Thursday night, June 25, 2026, with DJ Nickie Bascos.  The party was in Lola Happy Bistro, on a mild and dry night.  There were 45 in attendance.  Here are 6 photos from last Thursday's Dance Party, almost all were copied from Facebooks:

  BALLROOM DANCING was abundant. In the photo above, Raquel and Leo were dancing what I think was a cha-cha.

 

 

  UPCOMING THURSDAY NIGHTS signs for Thursday nights at Lola Happy Bistro were held by "Ring Girls" Marta, first-timer Connie, Lolit and Nora in the photo above.

 

 

  LINE DANCING was a favorite.  In the photo above, Roland's Inspiring Dancers performed the humorous line dance "Digidi Digidi" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqzPhQoFJcM ).   In front were Faye and Lolit. Behind them were Roland, Jannet and Irish.  The same ladies then re-dressed and performed as the 4th Power dance group, and danced the energetic line dance "Sayaw Tayo (Tango Cha Cha)"  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuTqYtxRcc ).  You can see videos of the 2 performances on Connie & Ric's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/connie.b.bautista ).

 

 

  WALTZ LINE DANCE. In the photo above, dancing the "Waltz Line Dance" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0fLg1l1JZg ), we see Ric & Connie, Bert & Luz, Michael & Lolit, Roland & Mona, and Romi & Geraldine.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) This is where Filipino-American dance clubs go for dancing on Thursday nights in San Diego and National City -- a Thursday night dance at Lola Happy Bistro in National City, with ballroom, Filipino dances, cha cha cha dancing, swing dancing and line 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.
