Bachata in Istanbul

Bachata in Istanbul runs four socials a week, and all four are weekly parties. Wednesday is the strongest night with two events, so midweek is your best bet. Friday and Saturday each add one more, which lets you dance three days out of seven. Most nights happen in bars and social clubs around Beyoglu and the Nevizade lane near Taksim, so the scene sits close to the city center. The same rooms often mix bachata with salsa and kizomba, since four salsa and four kizomba socials share the city. Coming alone is fine here; dancers rotate partners through the night.
