Bachata, Salsa & Kizomba at Beyond Dance Dublin, Dublin

Beyond Dance Dublin is a studio-run social in Rathmines that focuses on teacher-led Bachata and Kizomba evenings rather than a club night. The room is a modern mirrored studio with mood lighting and a couple of comfy sofas off to the side; teachers run a short class before the social, and entry is usually €5 or free if you attended the class. Social evenings are listed until 23:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Studio Tango (Rathmines Park).

Expect a small, local crowd made up of students and regulars, reviewers name-check the strong community and queer-friendly vibe. The nights work as a class-to-social flow: you learn for an hour, then the floor opens for social dancing with teachers present to guide. Payments at events commonly include cash or Revolut; there’s no sign of big live bands on the timetable, so plan for DJ/playlist or teacher-curated music. Check the timetable on their site before travelling; Tuesday is their main social night.
