Latin dances

Tango!!!!!!!!

Tango is awesome ! It is in my todo list

Well, go for it - start signing up for classes and you'll get to meet lots of ladies (normally the ladies far outnumber the men)

I love Latin dancing - Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Tango . . .

I usually dance on Saturdays at Abrazos. If you're thinking of taking up tango, do check this place out
facebook.com/abrazosclub

I mostly up for dancing Meeting ladies its not my primary goal
I am a beginner only i've just started to learn , and i'm more interested in bachata than salsa .
What kind of music they play in Abrazos ? Is it similar to Cuba Libra or Union Square ?

Hhmmm . . . in partner dancing, guys normally dance with gals 

OK, so meeting ladies is not the goal . . . what I mean to say is that guys who wander in alone will not have a problem getting partners to dance with since the ladies usually outnumber the men 

Abrazos is not at all like Cuba Libre or Union Square, it's dedicated totally to Tango. So it's mostly tango music - ranging from

traditional tango

to tango nuevo (electronic)

and sometimes even alternative . . .

The same as anywhere else in the world:
(1) select a dance school
(2) sign up for dance classes
(3) attend classes
(4) then practice, practice, practice and practice some more . . .


If you want to have a look-see first, check out the Salsa Party @ Studio UP, 79B Tanjong Pagar Road, on Mon, 16 May 2011, 10 pm

Hi Ame1ia
Is this reoccurring event ?

If somebody is interested this Thursday will be latin night at 7even club in Illuma mall.
They play mostly salsa and bachata with occasional cha cha cha .
And fo salsa beginners it might be useful going to Union square at tuesdays they have beginners night ( though not many beginners there ) or every wendsday at JB they have beginners night with slower music.

wweehh:) can i join the discussion?
anyway base on my experienced last friday i went to Movida, harbourfront because a friend of mine invited me, latin music was very awesome but when he taught me how to dance i step a lot of feet..which is very awful so i decided to learn and join the beginners, , so can anybody advise what to do and wants to learn salsa or even bachata, coz i used to dance hip hop and now i cannot manage myself to dance neither of the both:)(salsa and bachata)..lolz:D

Hi riyn,
There are plenty of schools teaching salsa in Singapore . You can pick up one with best combination of schedule and price for you
Available schools can be find be google I was learning in jitterbugs and i liked it . My friends tried en motion , attitude and JB and were very satisfied . I am sure others school good as well
As far as bachata considered ongoing courses only in en motion dancing school  ( i did my research last month so maybe things changed )

thanks genadyc... latin music is fun...i really had fun:)

Hey,

I learnt Salsa and Bachata when I was in Vietnam. Until now, still remember some movements, but not 100%. If anyone in here is interested, let's go dancing together!

Hello
I see this thread started ages ago. I hope that someone might still keep up with the forum.

I am an LA salsera and interested in salsa nights. I have done some tango but I am not sure if I can do. However, I am very interested in Kizomba. Any suggestions?

I will be in Singapore in mid Oct and living there for 2 years. Clementi is my base and have no idea how easy commuting is.

I would really appreciate some guidance and welcome any conversations with people who share the same interest too in regard with making friends too.

;-)
