Rock Bar at Speke Hotel

This has one of the best Latin dance floors and hosts some of the biggest crowds every Sunday. Like the others, social night starts with dance classes usually themed on a monthly basis. There is always a beginner, intermediate and advanced class and wherever you fit, be sure to have your needs catered for.

Rock bar also claims some of the best Latin music and usually the floor is packed from start to finish. Entrance is shs3500 which comes with a drink.

There also other places you can go to for more personalised classes like; in motion dance studio at forest mall, National theatre and Kampala dance studio among others. Now that you know where to go dancing, it’s also important to know the etiquette of Latin dancing because just like society, there are rules that govern the dance and it’s better to know them before you fall victim.

  1. A lady never asks a man for a dance but rather a man politely asks the lady.
  2. A man leads the dance. Lady! never turn yourself before he does so.
  3. It’s impolite to turn down a man and immediately accept another. Wait at least after one song then move to another partner.
  4. Practice good hygiene. No one wants to dance with a smelly partner.
  5. Do not have conversation while on the dance floor with another person other than your partner. It is very disrespectful!
  6. Do not wear sandals because they are very inconveniencing.
  7. Its improper for people of the same sex to dance together, if you are a lady, wait for a gentleman.
  8. Wear comfortable dancing attire. Because of our African background, be descent.
  9. Rough guys are usually avoided by ladies.
  10. Make yourself available. It’s hard to ask a lady who seems preoccupied with her phone, friends or any other business.
