WHERE TO DANCE BACHATA IN HO CHI MINH CITY: INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK LATIN EVENTS
Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, boasts a vibrant Bachata & Latin dance scene with numerous weekly events catering to Salsa & Bachata, social dancers.
For first-time dance visitors, I recommend staying at a local hotel on Nguyen Hue Street in the center of the action of District One. This way you can easily attend local socials & dance Bachata in Ho Chi Minh.
Another cool place to stay is at the famous The Café Apartment Building, No.42 Nguyen Hue Street. Specifically, on the 6th floor, there is a small hotel named the 6even Hotel.
It has a 9.5 rating on booking.com and the owner is very friendly and helpful. I stayed here for two weeks and enjoyed my stay. Tell him Brian sent you.
