Clubbing in Puebla

Mexicans know about dancing!! Going to a club in Mexico is a real treat. It would be great if we had clubs like theirs in Australia. Maybe they do and I just haven't been there.

At midnight they "open" the dance floor with sometime of show involving music of course plus an awesome light show or performers or video all three. Once the floor is opened people flock to the floor.

This club is called Rumba and it is a salsa club which featured a 12 piece latin band who played two sets of well over an hour each. The floor was full of people dancing, some really good, some quite average, but all having a great time.

Besides Latin music, when the live band wasn't playing the place turned into a "normal" night club with a great mix of dance music - a lot of which was in English. A few times through the night they also have shows, some involving performers, some the audience and some the staff and these a mix of great talent and just plain funny.

Also, a couple of times during the evening they will hand out a whole lot of balloons or neon glow sticks and immediately the dance floor becomes a sea of waving colour. It is quit a sight and lots of fun when you are one of those dancing and waving in the midst of it all.

The other thing to love about Mexico's clubs is the table service. If you are happy to buy at least a bottle of alcohol between your group, you will be given a table and be waited on all night for drinks and food. Soooo much better that having to fight to and from a busy bar to get a drink.

Oh and if you don't like queuing to get in, don't worry because money talks here. So just "speak" to someone on the door to ensure you are whisked to the front of the queue, to the best table and enjoy your night.
