Australia
Bachata in Sydney gives you 19 weekly socials across 16 venues, so you can dance six nights a week. Friday is the busiest night with 8 parties, and Sunday follows with 4. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday cover the early and mid week, so the calendar rarely goes quiet. Socials run in a mix of city bars, RSL and community clubs, and dance studios, with some near Darling Harbour and others in the inner-west around Ashfield. Salsa is just as strong here (18 events run in the same city), so many nights pair the two styles, and you will also find some zouk and kizomba floors. Coming alone is normal, and dancers rotate partners through the night.
