Hello Dancers, 

   You are invited to a VALENTINES & FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS DANCE PARTY this Thursday February 10, 2022, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, beverages, and roses for all ladies. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The adorable DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS to prevent COVID spread?  Well, the homeowners association has requested mask-wearing to meet COVID coronavirus requirements. In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, cough, or other cold or flu symptoms.  Anyone can wear a mask who chooses. Everyone should bring a mask, just in case the requirements change at the last minute.

DIRECTIONS: Take H Street east to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then turn right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into the parking lot of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the gated fence.

A DANCE PARTY AT EASTLAKE was last Thursday, February 3rd, with DJ Mel Zaragoza, and 16 dancers, the lowest attendance since May 2018, and a mere 7 weeks after an all-time high attendance. Here are a few photos: 

  

 

LINE DANCING and lessons were non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, from Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ) where I got most of the photos, Edith, Faye and Janet were in the front line for a current favorite, "Cold Heart" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De2dpLmRas ).

 

 

 

BEFORE EATING, the dancers posed for the photo above, and then Nedy gave a prayer and blessing for the food.  Line dancing and ballroom dancing continued for hours.

 

 

SWING DANCING was common, and in the photo above Irish and Janet were dancing swing, possibly to Elvis's "Paralyzed" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2iFJmo-hak ).

 

 

 

TANGO.  In the photo above, Edith and DJ Mel were dancing a tango. 

 

 

 

CHA CHA.  In the photo above, Ric and Connie were dancing a cha cha.

 

 

 

 RING GIRL EDITH held signs for the upcoming Eastlake dances in the photo above, including this Thursday's Valentines and February Birthdays party.

 

 

 CUMBIA.  I got to dance with Susie to the pretty cumbia, "Nunca Es Suficiete" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k76BgIb89-s ).

 

 

 WALTZ LINE DANCE ENDING usually involves a sideways tilt, which is what is shown in the photo above - another timely photo by Nedy.



FLASHBACK TO 2020:

Jake Guarin Services - January 29, 2022

Jake Guarin passed away suddenly on December 31st, surprising us at the Eastlake Thursday dances, as well as some of his family, I heard.  Jake was a very friendly, helpful and jovial dancer.  I remember that he had started coming to Thursday night dances when there was Thursday night dancing at the former Point Point Joint. He was remembered again at last night's dance at Eastlake.

 

 

 CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE
Per the notice above, there was a viewing this afternoon and evening, Friday January 28th at the El Camino Memorial.  And, a mass at St. Michael's Catholic Church tomorrow, Saturday January 29th, followed by a reception.

 

 

 JAKE AT EASTLAKE.  I think Jake's last time at an Eastlake dance was June 27, 2019, when the photo above was taken by Nedy, from Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ). Jake also went to many of the other Filipino-American dances in the San Diego area.

MORE INFO is on the El Camino Memorial web site ( https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/san-diego-ca/jake-guarin-10515239 )

P.S. Other Notes: (1) These are really fun ballroom and line dance parties.  This is Thursday night ballroom and line dancing in San Diego. This is the best Thursday night dance party in San Diego, with many types of dance. While the dancing and music are non-stop, there are dancers who are happy to give free dance one-on-one lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.

Hello Dancers, 

   You are invited to a NEW YEAR MASQUERADE DANCE PARTY this Thursday December 30, 2021, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, beverages, and prizes for best Masquerade Ball attire.

The phenomenal DJ Mel Zaragoza will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS to prevent COVID spread?  Well, the homeowners association has requested mask-wearing to meet COVID coronavirus requirements. In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, cough, or other cold or flu symptoms.  Anyone can wear a mask who chooses. Everyone should bring a mask, just in case the requirements change at the last minute.

DIRECTIONS: Take H Street east to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then turn right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into the parking lot of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the gated fence.

BEFORE EATING, the dancers posed for the photo above.

 

 

 BALLROOM DANCING.  We guys preferred ballroom dancing.  In the photo above VIPs Carmen and Morris Maraya were dancing to the nightclub 2-step "Yo Te Amo" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ ). Morris is a well-known dance instructor in San Diego.

 

 

 

 LINE DANCING.  Line dancing was non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, around 8pm the Eastlake and JIF Dancers performed a line dance to "Save the Last Dance for Me" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTlgdkzc2Z8 ). Ballroom dancing continued off & on until 10pm.

 

 

  COLD HEART line dance was sort of appropriate for the cold weather.  The "Bing and Roland Group" was dancing "Cold Heart" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De2dpLmRas ) in the photo above, with Karina and Irish in the front line, more or less.

SERENADE. In the photo above, Dwayne was serenading Eva as part of her retirement celebration, while some of Eva's guests were taking selfies.

 

 

 

RECORD SETTERS.  If we count Eva's two dancing granddaughters in the photo above (another photo from Nedy's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ), they at least tie the record for all-time youngest dancers at Eastlake.  AND, along with Eva's 35 guests, they bring the total attendance to a record-setting 70 people.
