Get DirectionsAbout Chinacy am Karlsplatz
Chinacy am Karlsplatz, also known as the Kunsthalle spot at Karlsplatz, is the central Vienna home of Lento Dance Vienna's outdoor bachata socials. Held every Wednesday from 9 PM and every Sunday from 8 PM, both running late, these are 100 percent bachata nights with a small 7 EUR entry. Lento Dance Vienna is a bachata sensual and salsa school that runs classes seven days a week, and these socials are where their community and visiting dancers come together on the floor.
The Karlsplatz location is about as central as Vienna gets, easy to reach and surrounded by the city's cultural quarter. The open air setting gives the socials a relaxed, summery feel, and because Lento teaches all levels the crowd is a friendly mix of beginners and seasoned bachateros. The low entry price and welcoming, school backed atmosphere make it a comfortable choice for solo dancers and newcomers who want to dive into Vienna's bachata scene.
