Azúcar Dance Center is a studio tucked into Unicentro Plaza that runs regular classes in salsa, bachata, merengue and kizomba and usually hosts a single weekly social on Fridays. The site lists salsa (estilo cubano) classes Mon & Wed 17:30–18:30, Fri 17:30–19:00 and Sat 14:00–15:30; bachata básico runs Wed 20:30–22:00. The pages currently show no upcoming events, so socials can be intermittent, check Instagram or call before you go.
You'll find a first-floor local inside the mall and an environment that reads like a school: scheduled class blocks, students practising between sets and staff who run the night. Expect class-paced music, short social sets and mostly local dancers and students. If you're arriving for the Friday social, come after the evening classes to meet people quickly.
