Bazurto Social Club
If you’re looking for the best places to go dancing in Cartagena, Bazurto Social Club has to top the list. Long a favorite for locals, it has increasingly become a hot spot for visitors as well.
The reason it is the best Cartagena dance club is because it is the best place to go dancing in Cartagena to the local music Champeta. A mix of African rhythms and Reggaeton influence, the music is unique to Colombia’s Caribbean coast and has recently become more popular nationally and even recognized internationally.
If you have no idea what you’re doing on the dance floor don’t worry though. In addition, to live music, there are also frequent mini dance tutorials throughout the night to teach you the basics. You won’t want to miss picking up the basics at this Cartagena dance club to show your friends back home.

Cafe Havana
Of course, salsa dancing makes for a close second to Champeta as a must-do in Cartagena. The best place to go salsa dancing in Cartagena is unquestionably the famous Club Havana. Located in an old colonial building on a corner of the Calle Media Luna in Getsemaní, the photo covered walls and live band will have you recalling yesteryear.
Not even Hillary Clinton could resist getting her salsa-dancing fix here, famously being snapped in a photo enjoying Café Havana while in town for a political summit in 2012. She’s far from the only famous person who has done so though, and regardless of your political persuasion, you’re sure to agree that Café Havana is one of the best nightclubs in Cartagena.
