Latin Dance Nights – Bachata & Salsa
If ghosts and ghouls aren’t your thing, swap broomsticks for dance shoes! On Wednesday nights in November, the museum transforms into a dance floor for Latin Dance Nights, presented by The Dance Club Kilkenny and supported by Kilkenny County Council and the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
Originating in the Dominican Republic, Bachata is known for its soft, romantic rhythm and close partner connection. It’s expressive, smooth, and easy to learn. Salsa, with its roots in Cuban and Afro-Caribbean traditions, is faster and more energetic full of spins, footwork, and joyful movement that lifts the soul. Whether you’ve danced before or you’re stepping out for the first time, these Latin styles bring people together through rhythm, laughter, and pure fun.
