Places to Dance in Malaysia – Updated FEBRUARY 2020



If you love social dancing, be it Salsa, Kizomba, West Coast Swing or Argentine Tango, here’s some venues you can check out around Malaysia (So far, the active states with weekly dances are Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Kota Kinabalu). If you think I left out any venues, especially those outside of Kuala Lumpur as I do hope I’d be able to go check them out myself too! Do drop me a message and let me know!

Sorry for the slow updates as there's some changes to my work arrangement so I spend less time updating on dance.

    1. Hi Teoh,

      If you mean by going to classes again, go back to your familiar studio, it's easier to brush up on the steps by running through them with your instructors.

      If you're talking about places to dance socially, all of them are the best place to start, get back on the dance floor and dance. :)

      There's a good mix of beginners and senior dancers these days so you get a variety of style and basics.

  9. Many men make excuses not to learn ballroom dancing (or social dancing in general). They will often argue that it is because dancing is not for them or not manly enough. The truth is that they are actually intimidated by the idea. Indeed learning to dance socially is confronting. But that's part of the reason why men should take it on. It is a challenge, but one well worth the effort. This article explains why men should take on this challenge and what the benefits are. What is the Best Dance Pole for an Apartment?
