Brisbane Latin Dance Timetable
Here are some places to try in Brisbane for each day of the week:
- Mondays: ..........
- Tuesday: ........... Destino Latin Dance (lessons) (map)
- Wednesday: ..... Hey Chica - Salsa Wednesday (map)
- Thursday: ........ Cloudland - Soul'Sa *** (map)
- Friday: ..............
- Saturday: ..........
- Sunday: ............ The Sound Garden - Salsa Sundays (map) ..... (warning: call ahead, as might be closed for the rest of 2023 I've heard) ... and once a month Felon's
Other timetable sites:
- danceus.org > Brisbane AUS Salsa & Bachata Dancing - I believe this is the most comprehensive one out there right now, and it's pretty good. No pictures of the events though and that's something I hope to add here soon.
Calendar
If you want to keep track of these events and more, be sure to add the Brisbane Latin Dance Calendar \ The Real Estate Dancer - Salsa dance calendar to your Google Calendar system.
A sample month from "Brisbane Latin Dance Calendar" - no it's not the current month, for the actual calendar: https://bit.ly/3vAWLbc.
Latin Dance Venues in Brisbane
| Name | Location | Evaluation / Times |
|---|---|---|
BRISBANE DOWNTOWNMy home from 2023-onwards | ||
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (web) |
641 Ann St, Fortitude Valley
|
Evaluation: This event is awesome! It starts with a couple or a single guy leading the whole floor in a salsa dance (all facing the same way). Super crowded but fun. Eventually, the band comes on, and it's still crowded - almost an issue, but if you wanted a better dance you could go upstairs for more room (and still hear the music). This venue is mostly a fancy restaurant or club at night (quiet or crowded depending on the night), but on Thursday nights transforms into salsa with a live band (video).
Open: Thursday nights with dance class from 8:30 pm – 9:10 pm... $15 entry after 8:30 pm.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⬜ (web) |
312-318 Brunswick St
|
Evaluation: The description is: "Do you love to have a groove, get those hips swinging, and dance into the night!?". I went and it's really fun.. they have a good sized area downstairs and in early 2024 started playing bachata separately in the upstairs area. Great crowd. Quite lively (40+ people) for a sunday as the night progresses.
Open: Sunday nights with (free?) salsa class from 8:00 pm in the downstairs area.
|
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⬜ (web) |
T11-14/315 Brunswick Street
|
Evaluation: Fun little dance venue with "DJs playing the best salsa and bachata... bookings advised". I think they like you to eat dinner there, then join the dancing.
Open: Wednesday nights with salsa/batchata dancing from 8:00 pm to midnight.
|
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (web) |
5 Boundary St
|
Evaluation: Lots of people call this their absolute favourite event! Sadly it's only once a month and I don't think it's predictable timing, so you will have to check the Felon's FB or https://www.facebook.com/gus.cereijo for an El Timbon entry like this.
Open: Once-a-month Sunday afternoon till late with band El Timbon.
|
BRISBANE - WESTThe Gap etc | ||
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⬜ (web) |
Rivercity Family Church, 59 Settlement Rd
|
Evaluation: Described as "fun and friendly social Latin dancing", this is more a dance lesson than salsa, but it's a nice venue and instructors Diego Fajardo and Katya Guerra will get your legs moving. Depending on when you show up might be 10-40 people (hard to say), and a slightly older crowd but really fun.
Open: Tuesday nights with beginner salsa from 7pm, then 8pm a very short salsa leading into more advanced lessons. Is $20 for one lesson, $40 for two, or there are passes available.
