I have performed at, facilitated workshops at and have also just come to dance at La Rumba and have always enjoyed myself. Parking is all side street but oddly I never have trouble finding a spot. The layout is so expansive, whether you're here to dance or be a gossip hen or a wallflower, there's a room for you. The comfiest, most plush seating scattered in every room. Very spacious. Ample, clean bathrooms. And major plus is it's community building atmosphere. You can feel it in the energy of the space for sure.
This spot felt like ny/nj. Some of the best casual dancers I’ve ever met, the music was perfect, the vibe was great, the drinks were strong and cheap. I loved it!
I had a great time! Came here on a whim while on a date and will definitely be back. The drinks kept going and the dancing was just insane. Everybody in every age group were just having the time of their lives and that included me. Even met some awesome chill ladies out on the patio while getting a little fresh air. There is about a 15 dollar/person cover charge, totally worth it, and they charge 2 dollars for water.
Not gonna lie, I felt weird being around so many people after the last three years but it felt good to do it again. Of course, I'll probably know what it's like to have a cold again as well :-) I saw another review that said two months ago, from this posting, a security guard pulled a gun on a patron?! That's nuts but I always give reviews based on my own experience, not others, so...4 stars. If I get a gun pulled on me by any of the staff next time I go, I will adjust the review score.
This place was fun! Here is what could make it better...
More space. There were so many people on that dance floor that it was hard to move. I got stepped on by other dancers who were taking big steps a few times.
My second thought is instead of playing 5 of the same type of dance songs in a row, mix it up a little more.
The group lessons were good and covered a lot in an hour!
I would highly recommend the Thursday night salsa class at 8:00 with Rafa. After the hands on class the real party starts. Amazing people, great energy and good times. Supportive environment for people of all different skill levels. We are beginners and it was a very welcoming environment. A big Thank You to our instructor Rafa - great job!! We will be back soon!
We went here for a salsa class on a Thursday night and can say we weren't disappointed. For complete beginners and professional teachers we were able to grasp the hang of a small salsa dance. A lot of fun even though we were very sceptical at first on what to expect.
I recommend for anyone thinking of giving it a go. Go with a partner or friends and I'm sure you'll have a blast.
It has been announced that they will begin opening as a club next week. I never went to the club nights pre covid so am unable to comment on that. Take a look at the pictures to see what to expect.
This is one of the go to Dance places when we visit Denver every month, Friday is more broad mix including lots of Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and a little Reggaeton but it was great Ladies were free!! Saturday seems more Salsa, Bachata focused. We always dance a ton even though we go without partners, and this summer we are loveing the new fans it makes such a difference!
Sunday is only Salsa and Bachata, but the dance crowd is more flashy and clique. We did happen to get to dance in a Rueda when we went Memorial Day and 4th of July, but not this past weekend. I had never seen Rueda danced in Denver till this summer, unlike in our Miami clubs, so that was so much fun!
Can't wait till next visit, this helps with my fix when I am traveling!
I had no idea it's gonna be this fun!! Really! The place was packed and everybody was dancing. Got there around 9pm on a Saturday night, danced Salsa for like 2 hrs, then this amazing band with trumpets, 3 singers, awesome drummer started playing Salsa. Parking was free and 1 minute away. Drinks were cheap and good, and lots of places to sit or stand. Really enjoyed myself even though I don't speak Spanish and the cute guys i was dancing with didn't speak English lol. Will definitely go back! Thank you La Rumba for a wonderful evening 😊
Gosh I would rate this place even a 6-star if I could. When my husband and I got there, I realized I forgot my ID card at home. So I remembered, I had a photo of it on my phone and bam just like that I showed them and they let me through. We took a dance session of an hr ($15/person) and after that ordered drinks and danced. So fun!!! Will be returning with some friends for sure
I totally love their dance teaching on Friday nights. It is really cool place for the socializing. There are also many options to drink. I definitely recommend this place. It is really fun to learn Rumba here.
