Bachata in Chicago gives you 7 socials a week, and all 7 are weekly parties. Thursday and Saturday are the busiest nights, with 2 events each. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday cover the rest, so you can dance bachata five days out of seven. Most nights happen in Latin bars, lounges and cantinas, with one studio floor for practice. Many rooms run bachata and salsa on the same night, since 6 salsa socials share the same city. You will hear modern and sensual bachata alongside the Dominican sound. Coming alone works fine here; dancers rotate partners through the night.
