Quick answers

When is ¡Bailar en FDR!?

Friday, starting at 7:00 PM (select Fridays (seasonal), free outdoor social 8–11 PM · next Oct 23).

Is there a lesson?

Yes: bachata lesson 7–8 (Kevin & Brisa). Arrive for the lesson and you walk into the social already warmed up.

Do I need a partner?

No. Almost every night on this list rotates partners during the lesson, and open dancing is ask-and-be-asked. Coming alone is the norm rather than the exception.

How much does it cost?

It varies by room and we only publish what we can verify, so covers are not listed here. Expect anywhere from free to about fifteen dollars, and bring cash — plenty of doors are cash-only even when the bar takes cards.

How do I know it is still on?

We publish a night only after confirming the venue is open, the cadence, and the location, and this listing was checked against its source. A night that stops running gets pulled from the list.
