Downtown Orlando’s best Latin night lives at Anthem — where salsa, bachata, reggaeton, and the energy of downtown Orlando come together for a weekly celebration of Latin music, culture, and social dancing.
What Is Latin Night?
Latin Night at Anthem Orlando is the Thursday night home for the city’s salsa, bachata, and social-dance community. Unlike the reggaeton-focused Perreo Central that shares the night, Latin Night leans into traditional Latin dance styles — salsa sets, bachata rounds, occasional merengue, and enough cha-cha to keep the dancers happy. Lessons and social dancing for all levels.
Why Latin Night Is a Must
- Salsa and bachata focus. Traditional Latin dance music — salsa (classic and timba), bachata (moderna and sensual), merengue, and cha-cha. Built for dancers.
- All levels welcome. Whether you’ve taken years of classes or you’re showing up to learn, the floor is friendly.
- Crossover into reggaeton. The night usually transitions into Perreo Central later, so you get the best of both worlds.
- Drink specials. Latin-themed Thursday specials rotate. See the full drink menu.
- LGBTQ+-welcoming. Same-sex dance partners, all identities welcome. The floor is yours.
- No cover early. Free entry early, 21+ with valid ID.
