Dubai's rooftop weekend, plus tango in Abu Dhabi
In United Arab Emirates, the week builds toward the local Friday–Saturday weekend. Dubai warms up with the Wednesday Latin Party at FIVE Jumeirah Village and Calentura Thursday at Roso in Barsha Heights, then splits into two Friday nights: the Friday Latin Party at Wane by SoMiya in Address Dubai Marina and La Grande Friday on the SoBe rooftop at W Dubai – The Palm. Saturdays go afro-latin — AfroLatin Dubai Saturdays at Pele Pool Bar by Ibn Battuta and Afro Latin Saturday at TT Rooftop Bar in Dubai Internet City — mixing bachata, salsa and kizomba, with zouk in the rotation. Over in Abu Dhabi, Sunset AD Milonga brings tango to the Grand Millennium Al Wahda.
Calentura Thursday at Roso
Dubai's Thursday warm-up in Barsha Heights — bachata, salsa and kizomba at Roso in the Social Hotel before the weekend proper begins.

Pick your Friday — the Friday Latin Party at Wane by SoMiya in Address Dubai Marina, or La Grande Friday on the SoBe rooftop at W Dubai – The Palm.
Afro-latin Saturdays across Dubai
AfroLatin Dubai Saturdays at Pele Pool Bar by Ibn Battuta and Afro Latin Saturday at TT Rooftop Bar in Internet City close out the weekend.
Zouk in the Saturday rotation
