To be brutal we sometimes think that European and American electronic tracks don’t deserve the name ‘dance music’. Most people don’t throw themselves into the dancefloor – it’s more like low impact aerobics at the busiest gym in the world. Now South Americans: there’s a bunch who really know how to dance. If you disagree, check with any girl whether Patrick Swayze was sexy busting those Latin moves in Dirty Dancing.
This Tuesday night has barely settled into the Honey Club and already it’s turned the heat right up. Starting nice and early with salsa and meringue lessons from 9pm for those that need them, when the club proper kicks off Jimmy Lobe, Shadeyak and RubeBen get hips swinging with a mix of reggaeton, r’n’b, dancehall, funky Latin and UK funky for the hot young crowd in the main room, while salsa, merengue and bachata keep the old school dancers happy in the main room. If you need a little loosening there are some great drinks promos, but you better make sure you’ve come the throw some shapes.
