Ballpoint Afro-Latin Dance Party
Ready to move your body to rhythms from two continents? Friday, September 19th, Ballpoint hosts one of the most energetic cultural dance activities in Nairobi, blending African beats with Latin heat for KES 1000.
The musical fusion is incredible. Afro-beats, Bachata, Kizomba, and Salsa – each rhythm tells a different story while your body learns to speak multiple musical languages in one night.
Here’s how the evening flows: • Workshop: 7PM-8PM – Learn basic steps and cultural context behind each dance • Social Dance: 8PM onwards – Put your new skills to work on a packed dance floor
What makes this dance event in Nairobi special: The workshop component means beginners can actually participate rather than just watch. You’ll learn authentic techniques for each dance style before the social dancing begins, so everyone can contribute to the energy.
The cultural crossover is fascinating. African rhythms and Latin passion share surprising connections – similar hip movements, call-and-response patterns, and that emphasis on community celebration through movement.
KES 1000 covers both the workshop and social dancing – essentially dance lessons plus a party for the price of a regular night out.
Whether you’re experienced in any of these dance styles or stepping onto a dance floor for the first time, the workshop format ensures you’ll leave with new skills and probably some new dance partners.
Usikose hii Friday, September 19th at Ballpoint. Some nightlife events in Nairobi are about watching – this one’s about moving, learning, and celebrating culture through dance.
