Salsa In The City 市内沙沙 Salsa Di Bandaraya ஊரில் ஸல்ஸ

One fine evening I went to this event, which was touted to be some kinda grand salsa event in a club environment. Or so it seems. So I went to Quattro for their so-called "Salsa" event yesterday. Free flow of beer before 10pm sure drew quite a lot of people.

The main events happened at the Autumn Room which was super crowded with a number of dance people and an overwhelming majority of non-dancers. Wasn't as "dance-friendly" as many of the dance people expected. Limited floor space and the type of music played didn't make things better, although there were some salsas and bachatas interspersed with samba and chachaton before 11pm. After that the music became neither salsa nor latin. (Hint to dancers: Time to chow.)

Granted, they had a live Latino band performing but they were at the Spring Room, a different section not directly connected to the Autumn Room. As for special stuff, there were a few performances - Jaxen & Mavis (salsa), Norman & Evelyn (bachata), Jaxen & Cecilia (zouk) and also some Tequila Pop drinking competitions.

In my opinion, dance kaki wouldn't feel drawn to go there again based on yesterday's experience. In fact some left early to go to Club 9 and the Six Lounge where they could dance salsa on a Tuesday night.
