Australia
Salsa in Melbourne runs five nights a week, with 14 weekly socials to choose from. Friday is the busiest night, with 5 parties, and Saturday follows close behind with 4. Thursday and Sunday each add 2 more, and Tuesday covers the early week. So you can dance salsa most days across the city. Socials happen in a mix of places. Some are on rooftop and cocktail bars, some in live-music clubs like The Night Cat in Fitzroy, and several run in dedicated dance studios. Many floors share the night with bachata, which is a little bigger here at 15 events, so partners rotate between both styles. Kizomba and zouk add a few more options each week. Coming alone is normal, and locals mix on1 and Cuban salsa depending on the room.
