During the evening today, we hosted a dance at Casa de Manaña, the senior living community in La Jolla that we previously visited before and took a tour of. The theme for the dance tonight was Rock N' Roll. The decorations included mini convertible stands, vinyl record banners, a pop up 50's diner photo opportunity, mini jukeboxes, streamers and large banners that said rock n' roll. There was also soda, champagne, and mini cheesecakes and brownies. I came at 7:00 because I had class. There was a band singing songs from Tennesee Waltz, to Pretty Woman, and other great hits that I didn't recognize. A lot of my classmates walked to the dance floor and danced, with each other and with other seniors who decided to dance as well. There was also a raffle held, where we raffled off prizes from soaps, Starbucks gift cards, succulents, teacups, hand creams, treats and other plants like lavender. I prefer to observe everything that was going on from the side, because I am kind of shy when it comes to dancing. I helped clean up the dance afterwards, and took down streams, vinyl record banners, and other tasks. At the end of the dance, we all took a group photo to commemorate the event. Then we all left at around 8 o clock after cleaning up. The dance was a success. I am definitely interested to see how the dance at the Gary and Mary West Center will go later on in the quarter.
