Bachata in Lisbon
Portugal
Bachata in Lisbon gives you 10 events a week, and all 10 are weekly socials. Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, with 3 parties each. Thursday, Sunday, and Monday fill out the rest, so you can dance five days out of seven. The events run across 10 different venues. Most nights happen in dance studios and Latin bars, and in summer some socials move outdoors to parks near the river and Caparica. Bachata shares the floor with salsa and kizomba, which each run 7 events a week, so many nights mix all three styles. Coming alone is common here, and dancers rotate partners from the first song. Check each night below for the exact venue and start time.
