Just one tiny comment, just becuase its Latin night don't assume the dance floor is smaller, heck The Copa in NY has Latin Night and that place is HUGE! It just depends on where you go. Ciao everyone
: Yep, that's basically it. Also, a latin night has a lot more drinking going on, vs. an elevated level of dancing at a Salsa night. Both cater to different purposes, though are equally as much fun in my opinion.
: See you out there!

: : 1) A Latin night has more of a mix of music - say 1/3 or more merengue, 1/3 bachata, 1/4 salsa, a little reggaeton and other - whereas a salsa night is typically 70% salsa, with the balance merengue, bachata, cha cha.
: : 2) A Latin night usually has a much smaller dancefloor and the night is less about dancing than about being in a Latin club. A salsa night usually has enough room for lots of salsa dancing.
