Salsa in Berlin: The Best Clubs for Latin Music

Europe / Germany / Berlin

Salsa hit Europe like a pandemic, spreading from the jazz clubs in the big cities and hitting Germany in the 1980s. No wonder Salsa found so many followers – the Latin beats get directly under the skin and the rhythm moves hips and hearts just by itself. There is a sense of freedom in the music, and the widespread habit of Salseros asking Salseras for a dance makes it a piece of cake to meet new people in a relaxed and unrestrained atmosphere.

Berlin is famous for its nightlife and the immense diversity of scenes on offer for all kinds of people, tastes, and styles. Hence, it goes without saying that Germany’s capital has a thriving Salsa scene. Every year in October, it finds its peak during the three-day Berlin Salsa congress with famous Salsa stars from all over the world and around 6,000 participants.

But Berlin wouldn’t be the nightlife capital if it didn’t have a Salsa party every night of the week. Here are the best of the best Salsa parties in town to get hips swinging.

Havanna

Every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, Salsa-obsessed dancers can move their hips in Berlin’s leading Latino and Black music club Havanna. The parties are spiced up by a one-hour dance lesson beforehand and some instructed Merengue in between on up to four dance floors.

RED Ballroom

This wonderful location heats up the floor for Salseros every Tuesday and Saturday. There is a compulsory dance instruction session beforehand, and the parties are free and handy for a newcomer to Salsa. The size of the location and the attached restaurant give the parties a more intimate feeling and professional dancer Fernando Zapato is on hand to ensure the right Latin atmosphere for a party night.

Clärchens Ballhaus

Clärchens’ Ballroom | (c) Clärchens Ballhaus

In an outstanding historical atmosphere, you can shake a leg every Monday. The so-called mirror hall is a secret tip in the Berlin club scene. Built in the late 1800s, the flair of the Wilhelminian era is still present in this location. Furthermore, it has a wonderful wooden dancing floor and is highly frequented by true Salseros in Berlin.

Soda Club

Known for its immense parties, the Soda Club Berlin plays Latin and Cuban music every Sunday and Thursday. The four dance floors are impressive, and revelers can expect to find Mambo, Kizomba or Bachata DJs serving up an eclectic mix of these styles so dancers can switch things up throughout the night.

Beachmitte

Salsa parties at this location are organized by the Salsa dance school Cumbancha, which is located in Kreuzberg. They always draw in a huge crowd of Salseros and Salseras, where everyone kind of knows each other and which gives these parties a very familiar atmosphere, although the uninitiated should not be put off, these are friendly folks!

Monbijoupark

Monbijou Park | © Palickap/WikiCommonsThis is definitely the most beautiful location to dance in Berlin, although there is the small drawback that it is closed during the winter. That just heats the anticipation for the next spring, and, frankly, being outside in Berlin’s winter is a zany plan, even if you are dancing. So when winter starts to abate, and this open air location reopens its dance floor directly in front of the Bodemuseum on Museum Island, things start to swing. Even Tango and Swing lovers can enjoy their hobby; just visit their website for more details when they play which style of music.

Salsa y Sentimiento Academy

Latin America / Argentina / San clemente del Tuyú

Salsa y Sentimiento is renowned as the first dance academy in the Partido de la Costa. Founded in April 2012 by its current director, Mr. Gerardo Osvaldo Russo, the academy offers a wide range of classes for both adults and children.

The curriculum includes Salsa, Bachata, Reggaeton, Pop Dance, Contemporary, “Ritmos” (various rhythms), Tango, and Introduction to Dance. Beyond daily classes, the academy is a vibrant community hub that organizes parties, festivals, conventions, and events. These activities bring together Salsa and Bachata enthusiasts from across the country and around the world, making it a premier destination for international visitors every year.

Salsa y Sentimiento Academy - San Clemente Salsa Congress — Salsa y Sentimiento Academy – San Clemente Sals

Gerardo Osvaldo Russo

Mr. Gerardo Osvaldo Russo was born on July 3, 1984, and resides in the coastal town of San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina. His passion for Latin music began in 2005 when he first started dancing and listening to Salsa. This spark soon grew into a lifelong dedication to various Caribbean rhythms.

In 2009, he pursued a professional certification in Caribbean Rhythms at “SAOCO” Studio, one of the top training facilities in Argentina. To complete his studies, Gerardo demonstrated immense commitment by traveling 300 kilometers (approx. 185 miles) every week. It was during this time that he made the pivotal decision to dedicate his life to teaching and developing the ambitious dance projects he had envisioned for the future.

“He mentions that the city where he lived offered no way to get trained since there were few resources, and he couldn’t manage to carry out everything he had in mind. Additionally, his motivation was to grow personally as an instructor and dancer, allowing him to share all the knowledge he was acquiring with the people attending his classes. In 2008, he began teaching—initially as a hobby for a year and a half—until he made the decision to work 100% in his profession. Consequently, today he has his own dance studio called ‘Academia Salsa y Sentimiento,’ which opened in 2012 and where he currently serves as coordinator and instructor. He is also in charge of organizing the ‘San Clemente Salsa Congress,’ which he has done for about 3 years, and he organizes annual Salsa, Bachata, and other Caribbean rhythm parties for his institution; these include seminars and training sessions with high-quality, experienced instructors.”

The reason behind the opening of the “Salsa y Sentimiento Academy” was essentially a need among the people, not only in their own city but also in neighboring towns within the Partido de la Costa—the region where San Clemente del Tuyú is located. This provided them the opportunity to learn how to dance, express themselves, and find a place of freedom and belonging, while also meeting people and socializing. Consequently, it is known for being the first registered dance academy in the entire region, with the founder feeling very proud of both the team and himself.

In short, they mention that their goal has always been for people to feel identified with the activities they perform, finding a place where they can learn and have fun while recharging their energy. Students joining the academy can do so without any prior experience or knowledge of the rhythm they wish to practice. For this year, 2017, they plan to launch their official website to provide more information beyond their Facebook account. At the academy, students can start from scratch, but those who already have experience are also welcome since there are several different levels.

We work with people from 3 years old and up. The greatest goal achieved was creating an International Salsa Congress, where they aimed to take their students to compete. In 2016, they were able to do so with the reggaeton group led by teacher “Maximiliano Laplaca,” reaching the finals of one of the most important competitions in Argentina and South America, called the “Argentine Aerobics and Dance Tournament” (TAAD).

This year, along with other businesses in the city, they are working to provide benefits to their students. The goal is not only for them to have the chance to learn and have fun, but also to access discounts and benefits at shops in San Clemente. There is also a project for the coming years to train teachers who graduate from our Academy.

At the end, Gerardo Russo gives us a message for both current students and future apprentices: “My message as a teacher, but primarily as a human being, is for you not to stop chasing your dreams. As long as you work hard with responsibility, passion, and respect, things can be achieved. I also want to tell anyone who wants to come to the Salsa y Sentimiento Academy that they will find a place not only to learn to dance and train, but also a supportive group of people. It is a place where you can freely express yourself and bring out everything you have inside. Both adults and children are united by our passion for dance. We are teachers who love what we do and wish to pass it on to new generations. We are always open to hearing from anyone with new ideas to build a better SALSA Y SENTIMIENTO ACADEMY every year”.

For this year, 2017, the schedule for the various rhythms mentioned above has been available since January and February, so that everyone is informed before joining.

This magnificent Academy is located at 21st Street No. 139, between 24th and 1st Streets in San Clemente del Tuyú, Argentina
