Just curious, anybody in here representin' the ATL? If so, what are your favorite salsa spots? Mine USED to be Loca Luna, 'til I realized that It's not very salsa friendly. A salsaholic like myself isn't content w/ only dancing to 2 or 3 good salsa songs at a "salsa night." My new favorite is The Sanctuary. I went there for the first time at their grand opening social at the end of June and have been to every one since. The first one in July I got there about 7-ish and didn't leave 'til 1:45am! I also go to the Afrisalsa socials on Sunday nights.

On a side note, I noticed something kinda ironic about my salsa club experiences. When I used to frequent Loca Luna, I used to get turned down every other time I asked someone to dance, a good 35-45% of the time. (Keep in mind that at loca luna, there's hardly any Salsa played, and when there is, there is both a shortage of room to dance in and of ladies who are at least halfway decent in salsa) So when I decided to go to The Sanctuary for the first time, I looked around and realized that everybody who was on the floor could dance. I figured, this is where the pros hang out, and I'm only about average/above average, so I'll probably get turned down even more. But to my surprise, I have yet to be turned down for a dance at the Sanctuary! Sounds weird, don't it? Tell me what 'yall think.

Luv, Peace and SALSA

I am from Georgia and have relatives in the Atlanta who have no clue about the Salsa clubs in the ATL area. Thanks for the scoop though. Will know where to hang out next time I visit. :)

Welcome RugKatta!!!

That is the case with almost any commercial latin club, you will get turned down most of the time... Usually because girls think you are gonna try to pick them up and not just dance... so they say No...

But in a Salsa place everyone is there to dance, hence it will be rare the ocassion where you get turned down.

My favorite place has always been the Sanctuary in Buckhead.
