Bachata in Los Angeles

Bachata in Los Angeles runs seven nights a week, with 19 weekly socials across 14 venues. Wednesday and Friday are the busiest nights, each with 4 parties, and Saturday follows with 3. Tuesday adds 3 more, so you can dance any day you like. The scene spreads across the city, from Westwood and Studio City to Costa Mesa in Orange County. Most events happen in dance studios and nightclubs, with a few bar and grill floors mixing in. Many nights are sensual bachata, and floors often share the night with salsa (20 salsa events run in the same city) and a smaller kizomba scene (3 events). Coming alone is normal here, since dancers rotate partners. Plan a short drive between venues, as Los Angeles is spread out.
