About Stingray Lounge

Every Friday from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, Gold Coast Salsa runs a free Salsa and Bachata social dance at the Stingray Bar inside the stylish QT Hotel in Surfers Paradise. Billed as Rumba Caliente, the night features DJs spinning Salsa and Latin tunes while an in-house salsa maestro shows newcomers a step or two, making it as much an invitation to learn as a place to dance. The lounge brings a polished cocktail-bar atmosphere, with mojitos, caipirinhas, and margaritas on the menu.

The venue sits at 7 Staghorn Avenue in the heart of Surfers Paradise, an easy and central Gold Coast location. With free entry and an early evening start, it is a relaxed and approachable option for solo dancers and beginners who want to ease into the local Latin scene before the weekend ramps up. The hosting school, Gold Coast Salsa, also teaches Salsa, Bachata, and more, so the crowd blends students and social dancers in a friendly, dressy-casual setting.
