Century Ballroom & Cafe, Seattle

Salsa, swing, tango, ballroom, same-sex -- whatever you are looking for in terms of social dancing, Century Ballroom has something wonderful for you. It's a great nightclub (esp. Thursday & Saturday salsa), and the combination of food/dancing is an exceptionally good deal. But it's certainly more than just a great nightclub -- it's an open and warm community, with great leadership and values. As a result, it's accessible (the prices/covers are low), friendly and safe (single women can feel comfortable coming any night of the week for good dancing). And for those of us who love to dance and happen to be lesbians -- well, there is no place as fabulous (and unique) as Century Ballroom.

Century Ballroom is a great venue. They have classes and open dance sessions for all kinds of dancing (salsa, ballroom, ...). If you're hooked on dancing, give it a try. Or if you're not, give it a try and see what we all love so much.

This is the BEST place to go Salsa dancing as a single, especially Thursday nights. The cover is almost nonexistent, it's smoke free and the dance floor is perfect. Oh yeah, and there's a pretty good restaurant as well.

Century Ballroom is probably the most popular ballroom for salsa dancing. Thursdays and Saturdays are when the local experts come out and show off their moves. The rustic setting ballroom is well kept and a center stage for live bands offers more than just dancing but an experience to never forget. Men always ask the ladies to dance and even if your a beginer it is easy to catch on fast. Century offers a unique experience for beginers by teaching them basic salsa moves before they open the dance floor to everyone. This lesson helps a ton if you are new! Within a few Saturdays, I was dancing with the some of the local salsa experts.

Its the best place in Seattle for serious and dedicated dancers. Clean, non-smoking and the clients dress well for the environment. The mood is very friendly and yet professional.

Ambiance is great and the dance floor is huge. Although the music is not up to date and the sound system is not that impressive, you'll enjoy watching good dancers sweeping the floor.

People really know how to dance here! Salsa or swing, you're guaranteed to have a good time. On salsa nights, you can take an hour long lesson before the floor gets too busy. DJ is great, but don't miss a night with a live band. Beautiful old building.
