Free listing.

Live example
Ocho's, Boise
A 21+ bar in downtown Boise hosts a weekly Friday Salsa/Bachata social. Dancers see capacity (80), dress code ("shoes that let you pivot"), the 30-min Bachata + 30-min Salsa beginner lesson at 7pm, every payment method accepted, the pre-pay link, and 5 FAQ answers — all on one page.
See Ocho's pageMade for venues that host, not teach
Your venue, your calendar
Every Friday at Ocho's. Every other Wednesday at Lava Lounge. Recurring socials get a permanent home — not 52 separate Facebook events.
Match with a teaching partner
Don't have a resident instructor? Bailar surfaces nearby studios who teach the style your night plays — Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba — and connects you for the pre-class slot.
Drink revenue stays yours
You keep 100% of the bar tab and the cover. The lesson partner keeps their lesson cut. Bailar only takes a fee on tickets you sell through our checkout — and only when you opt in.
Discovery you can't buy on Meta
Dancers searching 'salsa near me' land on your venue page directly — not on a Facebook event a week before. SEO + dedicated /venues directory + map pin.
Track the floor
Capacity, dress code, age policy, payment methods, FAQ — all surfaced upfront so first-timers show up ready. Reduces bar-side friction and walk-outs.
No commission on bar or cover
Free venue listing. No exclusivity. Bar tab and door cover stay 100% yours — Bailar's only fee is the flat 10% on tickets sold through us, and only if you turn ticketing on.
The venue ↔ teaching-studio graph
No competitor models the partnership cleanly. Resident Advisor, Eventbrite, Meetup, Mindbody, ClassPass, Yelp Events, Bandsintown — every one of them treats the venue and the teacher as the same row, or omits one of them entirely.
On Bailar, every event surfaces Hosted at [Venue] · Lesson by [Studio]. Both are linked. Dancers click through to discover both, and the partnership earns trust on both sides.

Common questions
What does 'free' actually mean?
Free to list, free to keep your page, free for dancers to discover you. We never take a cut of your bar tab, your lesson revenue, or your door cover. The only time we charge is if you opt into selling tickets through Bailar's checkout — flat 10% per ticket sold through us, payout straight to your Stripe account, no setup fee, no monthly subscription. Bailar's revenue comes from studio subscriptions and that ticketing fee — your venue page itself is free forever.
Do I need a partner studio to list?
No. Plenty of venues just host an open social with no formal class. The 'No partner needed' badge actually helps — beginners see it and feel safer showing up solo.
We already have a Facebook page / Eventbrite — why add Bailar?
Bailar dancers are looking for Latin specifically. They search by style + city, not by venue name. The dedicated /venues surface plus map placement gets you in front of dancers who'd never find your FB page in a feed.
Can I edit my venue page?
Claim your venue and you control the copy, photos, FAQ, dress code, payment methods, capacity, and the partner-studio link. Email partnerships@bailar.site to claim.
What about cruise terminals / hotels / event halls?
All welcome. Anything that has a dance floor and hosts socials — bars, lounges, ballrooms, restaurants, hotels, churches, community centers, cruise terminals, festival halls.
