Salsa Dancing in Beijing

OK. So this is one of the two Salsa Clubs in Beijing. This one is open 7 days a week and they have a good size dance floor. It is a good place to go dancing. The band is OK. If you’re in Beijing, go and give it a try.

Their website is: http://www.CaribeChina.com/

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.

Salsa in Beijing continues to stay strong as always. Latinos apparently remains the hottest spot to salsa in Beijing.

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 dancing at La Rueda - Bangkok, Thailand

Ok..now I’m in Bangkok, Thailand. An old friend of mine told me to go to “La Rueda”.



La Rueda is a small and cozy place to dance salsa. Tonight it wasn’t too crowded so the dancing was good. The only thing I didn’t like too much was that it gets too hot, but I was able to manage.

Is there salsa in Delhi?

I’m currently in India. Delhi to be exact.



After having a couple of good days of meetings, I’m ready for some salsa dancing. I searched the net and found a place called SSTEEL.



I made sure that I called the place before venturing to this place and they did confirm that Wednesdays is Salsa Night. I arrived around 10:30PM and was greeted by an unfriendly bouncer who told me that they only allow couples to go inside. As you could imagine, I was shocked and dissapointed. I tried to tell him that I was visiting from out of the country but the unfriendly bouncer kept saying “no stags allowed”.



If the flyers, website and even the phone call that I made before going to the venue would have mentioned their rule about “couples” I would not have been upset but as you can clearly see http://www.salsa-india.com/parties_specials2.html, their flyer does not say anything about this rule. Needless to say I was very dissapointed and hope that things change in the future for other salsa-travellers that end up in Delhi.

Qba in Kuala Lumpur has good salsa.

Sure enough…I came back to Qba….this place rocks. Or should I say..this place salsas!!



This time around I saw some of the more experienced dancers from Latinos. The band was good but they play some of the same songs as the previous nights.



If you ever make it to Kuala Lumpur, go to Qba and enjoy a nice night of dancing.
