Bachata in Amsterdam
Netherlands
Bachata in Amsterdam gives you 12 weekly socials across 10 venues. Friday is the busiest night with 5 parties, so it is the safest bet for a full floor. Sunday and Thursday add two events each, and Monday through Wednesday keep one social running each night. That means you can dance bachata six days out of seven. Most nights happen in Latin bars, dance schools, and restaurant clubs around the center and the west side. Sensual and Dominican styles both show up, and many floors mix bachata with salsa (13 salsa events run in the same city) and kizomba (7 events). Socials often start with a short class, and coming alone is normal. Locals rotate partners from the first song.
