There was lots of singing and dancing (line & partner) plus dance performances by The Eclectics (Ron Yasuda, Marian Bernal, Sam Yong, Lisa Tokunaga, Mark Bryant, and Sandy Zook).
The evening started with waltz. Lani Sierra taught "Waltz Across Texas" to a group of line dancers in the back of the room while Sandy and Mark reviewed waltz steps with a group of partners in the front of the room. The music came on and people either danced or sat at their seats and sang along to "Away in the Manger" and "Silent Night".
The dancers got a small break while The Eclectics performed a waltz to "Let There Be Peace On Earth".
Afterwards, nearly everyone got up on the dance floor and Sandy taught two line dances to "Here Comes Santa" and "Winter Wonderland" followed by another performance to "Frosty Snowman" and a Viennese Waltz to "Let It Be Christmas" while the audience sang along.

Then there was swing. Lani and Sam taught line dancing in the back and Mark and Sandy reviewed East Coast Swing for the partners. This was followed by a swing performance to "Rockin A Round Christmas Tree".

Next the Cha Cha. Who can resist. Nearly everyone got up on the dance floor and either did line dancing or partner dancing.
For the grand finale, the Eclectics did a musical Christmas story to a medley of 9 dances. There was waltz, cha cha, 2step, swing routines, line dances, and more. The audience had a booklet of lyrics to help them sing along.
I think the party was a great success with everyone hugging and wishing their neighbor a Merry Christmas.
