I am a long-time member of the salsa dance community in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
I am terrified at how outdated – and misleading – the results are on Google for where to dance salsa, bachata, and kizomba in Ho Chi Minh (update: after 2 years of continual updates here, it looks like Google finally gets it right… most of the time).
We have a unique and welcoming salsa community here in Saigon, and I want to make sure more visiting salseros and bachateros know where to go! Most Saigon latin dance socials play salsa-bachata-kizomba in a 2-2-2 format.
I have also included a list of the top dance studios in Saigon to take salsa, bachata and kizomba classes. I hope this makes it easier to continue your latin dance journey here in Ho Chi Minh City!
I will keep this list updated regularly! -Darren
