Friday
Sanctuary Night Club - Free class at 9~9:15pm. Best place to go for pure social dancing, but gets very crowded sometimes. There are two level of salsa classes; beginners on the main dance floor level with Myron and intermediate level with Sheila at the ground level floor. Ladies, I would advice you to wear close toe shoes, and not wear your best dance shoes. Guys, bring change of shirts, as it will get very hot. Even though no drinks are allowed on the floor, there will still be spills. It is a non-smoking venue, and plays music until 2-3 am.

Saturday
Havana Club - has a Latin room which plays a little bit of salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton. Not great for social dancing though.http://www.havanaclubatl.com/
Loca-Luna - has a weekly salsa night. Again, this is a club venue and gets very packed, so social dancing would not be possible. I have rarely ever seen the dancer crowd going there.http://loca-luna.com
