Salsa in Istanbul

[Volchok]

Dear friends,

I'm going to visit Istanbul, Turkey during my business trip and I would like to find salsa discos near Swiss hotel (located: Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul Bayıldım Cad. No: 2 Maçka Beşiktaş) to spent my Saturday eve.

Could you please advise, where I can find it? Some of my friends told me, that the most of discos are located on Taksim street. If it`s true, could you please advise, which one I should prefer?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Hi,
On saturdays, the best place near your hotel is Tiyatro Kafe organized by IMU dance. You can even walk there. There are people who dance on1 and on2.
There are places in Taksim but on other days.
should you have more questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello Yashar! :)
We are going to visit your wonderful country soon - at the 24th of November.
Could you help us to find casino discotheques in Istanbul?
We don't know where we'll stay there yet, because we are planning some trip out of city - to the South coast. And we have just 3-4 days for excursions in Istanbul.
Also we are interesting son, rueda & bachata (especially Son).

Greetings Yashar and fellow salsa friends:

I will be in Istanbul Aug 9 - Aug 12, and it would be a pleasure to dance salsa with the local salsa community.

Can anyone recommend a place where the salsa "regulars" go out to dance between Thursday and Sunday in August?

I'm fluent in On1 and On2. I have my mambo shoes already packed in my luggage. I look forward to salsa dancing in Turkey!

Thanks in advance!
