Salsa & Bachata at Mavericks Dance Hall, Pflugerville

Mavericks Dance Hall sits at 1700 Grand Avenue Parkway in Pflugerville, just north of Austin, and its Sunday Latin night puts that big-room dance hall to good use. The evening starts at 7:00 PM with a beginner-friendly bachata class, then social dancing takes over from 8:00 PM and keeps going until 2:00 AM. The cover is only five dollars and includes the lesson, which makes it one of the easiest ways for newcomers in the Austin area to get on the floor.

DJ Guapea drives the night with a mix of bachata, salsa, cumbia and merengue, so there is something for most Latin dancers across the evening. The hall offers a spacious floor and multiple bars, and no partner is needed, so solo dancers and groups both fit in comfortably. The combination of low cover, a real teaching lesson and a late finish gives the night a welcoming, all-levels feel.
