Wednesday/Saturday Salsa in Taipei

Want to Salsa on a Wednesday or Saturday night? Then head out to Barrio. They have salsa lessons around 9:00pm and then the Salsa dancing starts. It’s a good place to go Salsa dancing but on Saturdays they only play Salsa until midnight.

I tried their food but I do NOT recomend it.

Salsa Dancing at Brown Sugar

If you’re in Taipei and you want to go Salsa dancing on a Sunday night, then you better head out to Brown Sugar. Sundays is their Salsa night and you’ll find many great salseros. They also have a live band but they play mainly jazz style Salsa. Just in case, their website is: http://www.BrownSugar.com.tw

More Salsa in Beijing

It seems that there is a new place to Salsa in Beijing. This place is called SALSA CARIBE. (The name reminds me of the famous SALSA CARIBE in Roppongi, Japan)



I went there on a Monday night but unfortunately it was slow and very few dancers. I hear that other days of the week is a good spot to go. They seem to have a live band.

More Salsa in Taipei

So far the best place to dance salsa in Taipei seems to be BROWN SUGAR. This is usually a JAZZ place but on Sundays they play salsa. This club seems a bit upscale and the dancers are good.



My only commnet is that the ‘Salsa’ played by the band was too jazzy…and not so good for dancing. The best dancing was done when the DJ played SALSA.



Overall this club gets my recomendation.

Salsa dancing in Taipei

We arrived to Taipei today and we were adviced to go to a club called CLUB 75. When we got there, there was a band playing salsa but there were not many people dancing. We stayed for a bit but the salsa crowd naver showed up. Later we found out that CLUB 75 had a private party and all the Salsa dancers were turned down for the night.



It seems that all of them headed out to Club Barrio. (We didn’t make it to EL Barrio)

Salsa in Cape Town - South Africa

So yesterday I arrived to Cape Town. I had a long flight from Amsterdam but I’m glad to finally arrive to my destination.



Today I had a dinner meeting with a friend from Austria and we went out to a Cuban restaurant that had some Salsa Dancing. The name of the restaurant is Buena Vista Social Club.



We went to the restaurant and it was packed. We waited a while until a table was available. The dinner was good and the wine and mojitos were even better. Towards the end of the night we moved inside the restaurant and they had a little space for dancing. I ventured out and had a couple of dances and really enjoyed myself. After a couple more mojitos I danced a few more songs and then it was time to head out.



After getting back to the hotel, I found out that Buena Vista is the best place to go Salsa Dancing on Sunday nights. Too bad that I leave next Sunday.
