Where to dance Bachata in Malaga

A long day sunbathing on the beach eating espetos can be very stressful,
why not relax with a good dose of social dancing?

Keep reading here I will show you the best bachata parties in Malaga!

Atreve – the home of DJ Tony Pecino

If you only need to know one place where to dance bachata in the Malaga area,
the answer it is is simple – in Atrevete.

This is the biggest venue (3 main dance floors),
for social dancing in the province of Malaga.

Atrevete is as well the home of the remarkable bachata DJ Tony Pecino,
he may not sound familiar to you by his name,
but what if it tell you:

En un viaje sin maletas sin pasaje,
y yo que andaba siempre huyendole al amor,
Tu me delatas…

Yes, the famous bachata song Tu me delatas. This is DJ Tony Pecino.

The combo of Social dancing by the seaside and DJ Tony Pecino,
seems like an unbeatable plan to us!

When are the bachata parties in Atrevete?

You can dance bachata any day from Thursday until Sunday (both included)

However,
if you want to have social parties 100% bachata ,
Thursdays and Sundays are your days.

Good news is that,
these days (Thursdays and Sundays) the entrance to the site is free.

And what’s happening on Saturdays and Sundays?
Yes, there are parties too.
Unfortunately, it is not 100% bachata.

You will hear other styles such as reggaeton, salsa , kizomba.
It becomes more of a party place, rather than a full social dancing place.

How much does the party cost in Dos Atrevete?

Thursdays and Sundays the entrance is for free.
Fridays and Saturdays the entrance is for 10EUR – payment is in cash.

When does the party start in Atrevete?

This is Spain🇪🇸,
meaning every day has a different (rather late) schedule.

On Thursdays, doors open at 22:00.
On Fridays and Saturdays, doors open at 23:00.
And on Sundays,
doors open at 18:00, it is more of an afternoon vibe.

If this is the first time you will be doing social dancing in Spain,
consider that in Spain things normally take longer, more of a “despacio” life.

On days such as Friday and Saturday,
take it easy with your evening plans,
as people will start to show up around midnight, at the earliest.
