It's just occurred to me that this may be a good place to put this external link...

The information coverage is not necessarily comprehensive, but many city guide pages have links to local salsa websites, which might prove useful in your search for your out-of-town salsa fix.

Added. Thanks, Mac. :D Also did some geographical categorising for better use.

Salsa in Hanoi

Nutz Pub
Sheraton Hotel
K5 Nghi Tam, 11 Xuan Dieu Road,
Tay Ho District
Hanoi Vietnam
Phone (84)(4) 719-9000
Every Saturday nights
7pm – 8pm: basic salsa lesson
8pm – 2am: salsa dancing

Nutz Pub is the most popular salsa venue in Hanoi and
attracts young crowd of Vietnameses. Most expatriate
dancers come here for Salsa as well. The dance style
is Cuban Casino, sometime there are LA styled salsa
dancers but very rare. Some of the Vietnamese dancers
come from ballroom background.

Nutz Pub is very spacious, very good smoke-filtering
and air-conditioning system so you will hardly sweat
or smell of smoke! Lighting, music system and dance
floor are very well taken care of.

Free entrance for both lesson and dancing



The Terrace
Press Club
59 A Ly Thai To St., Hanoi - S. R. Vietnam
Tel: (84-4) 934-0888
Fax: (84-4) 934-0899
Every Friday nights
9pm – 2am: Latin music

From Press Club’s website: “The open terrace atop the
Press Club is a place with great views of the city.
This is the place to see and be seen on Friday nights.
Expatriate bands jamming and Latino DJs mixing wide
ranging styles of music to keep the chic on the move.
A gorgeous and affluent crowd dresses to kill. Expect
nothing less.”

Though the music played here is not “strictly salsa”
but depending on the crowd the DJ can play salsa more
often than other music. On a good night one can find
some salsa dancers here, or else mostly drinkers and
"casual" dancers.

Note that The Terrace is an open aired venue, the
wooden dance floor is paved in such a way that high
heels can get stuck sometime. Most club goers are
expatriates and trendy Vietnameses.

Free entrance

consider the ballroom places too!

wow - amazing resource of salsa venues!

should you ever move or live in an area without dedicated salsa venues i suggest what i have done at many places (even in San Francisco or London where you actually have a great Salsa scene...)

i often went to the ballroom places which are nearly always more spacious and often more relaxed and welcoming playing beautiful music etc. (they simply have a bigger budget and better marketing)

Salsa can be danced to many types of music like rumba, chacha (or you throw into your salsa basic a double step), brasilian forro, pop, generally to any kind of 4 beat pattern. it may become boring with some tracks since there is no accent (i.e. emphasis) on the first or 5th beat but it helps to become creative. 8)

i personall switch then (when salsa adaptions becomes too monotonous) over to argentine tango which can easily cover the rest of anything played at ballroom dance places. neotango dancers know what i mean..:)

only drawback is that you might have to bring your own partner (if you don t dance ballroom) and it makes you feel a bit strange if you say no when being ask for a dance (as a girl) by a ballroom dancer reasoning you can t dance... unless they lead you... it's easier for the guys since good ballroom dancers can often be lead at least into the simple tango and salsa steps

-klaus 8)

i invite you to take part in the poll (dancing to any music) http://www.dance-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11825&highlight=neotango
 
:shock: People have been busy over here, linking to everything!
Haven't updated the thread for some time now, sorry, but I'll do my best to update now. Oh, and ALL the links are broken. :? Tough luck for me. I guess I'll be the one to make this whole thing work again, which means searching for all those threads once again and linking them back. Lots of work. Can't possibly do it right now, I'm stuffed with homework like a Thanksgiving turkey. But will work on it asap. :D

Well there are a few cities in Bulgaria that have Salsa dance schools. Sofia as the capital has the most ofcourse. There are Salsa cluvs in Varna and Plovdiv as well. Recently I heard that a new one opened in Shumen, but I can't confirm on that one.
I was gonna post a direct link to a list of salsa clubs in Bulgaria, but I can't because I don't have 15 posts. You can use the link from my signature for more information :D.

First of all that was a great job to gather and classify all this information on (links to) threads about "Salsa Worldwide: Index to areas and their salsa life", thank you.
Alas as noticed these kinds of links (to threads or posts) are no longer valid under the new web forum software (vBulletin) and the threads' or posts' numbers aren't even the same, so we've got to find them again.
Since then someone* has done the job of updating the first post of this thread, replacing the previous links with current valid links to threads on corresponding topics (maybe not the same threads) (*Twilight_Elena herself if she can edit this post of her, or else a moderator), thanks again.

About "Salsa in Paris" - to bring my little little help (it's far easier to find the new link to a thread you've posted in, as you just have to search your own posts) - I just wanted to mention that now the link points to the old "Paris Salsa Clubs - Which are worth visiting?" thread started by squirrel on 2004-04-08 (yyyy-mm-dd) (hello squirrel) with last post on 2004-05-13 (12 posts) instead of the more recent "Salsa clubs/instructors in Paris?" thread started by meagalita on 2005-02-01 with last post on 2005-09-09 (53 posts).
