Ubud is a fantastic place: the rich Balinese culture, the ever-alive traditions, and an amazing variety of food contribute to the ultimate spiritual experience that so many visitors (most of them, women) are after.<\/p>\n
It goes alone that in such environment, Salsa found its natural place.<\/p>\n
If you arrived\u00a0on this page, I probably don\u2019t need to make a big effort to convince you that Salsa, when danced right, is a genuine connection with our true self<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Did I fail? Alright,\u00a0it\u2019s still a lot of fun and a great way to socialize \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to Bali few times in the past two years, with a couple of one-month stays (check my mini-guide One month in Ubud<\/a>).<\/p>\n That\u2019s enough time to explore different aspects and, being a Salsa addict in rehab, the dancing scene was part of it.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go straight to the point: the Salsa scene in Ubud is rather small but <\/b>pretty<\/b> active<\/b>.<\/p>\n You can dance almost every day of the week, in small parties that see the usual hardcore dancers, next to the occasional tourist passing by.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s exactly for the tourist that, like me, feels like wondering the World on the clave <\/i>rhythm that I wrote this article.<\/p>\n One thing that surprised me is that Indonesian men do dance<\/strong>. It may sound weird for me to say that, but after visiting places like Thailand, where 100% of girls were locals and 100% of guys were foreigners, I was under the wrong assumption that South East Asian men were not into latin music.<\/p>\n
