    The vibe is great!
    Alexandra M.

    I had a great time Wednesday night at Cancun Cantina. It was ladies night and so I got $5 bottomless drinks all night long. They had lots of line dancing, and the people were a wide range of ages, but also friendly and willing to give tips and tricks and help me learn the way. This was my first time there inside - I've been once years ago in their beach area for a crab work event during daytime, but obviously a very different scene. There is a $10 cover charge at the door which is cash only, and they do have a lot of bag restrictions, and other rules posted at the front door. There is a large parking lot, but it fills up quickly, so be prepared to scour around for parking or to park down the street. I'm planning on coming back for their dance lessons! Bartenders were nice and made yummy drinks! Fruity and sweet, strong, but doesn't taste strong - just how I like it! They do have food to order, but I didn't get any so I can't attest to that.

    Was denied entry at this establishment because of my hair. I'm a black man with cornrows and have had a few surgeries, having to regrow my hair over the scars. I wear my hair net, which is sheer, to protect the hair and the scars while out and about. What's crazy is that you can wear a rimmed hat but you can't wear a sheer beanie? What is that about, I don't know if this establishment understands that this can be construed as targeting black people or religious persons. Do better, hope this review reaches someone who makes policy and decisions so they can correct it.

    This place may be large and the parking lot may look big, but wow does this place get PACKED on the weekends and at special holiday events. Parking will spill over onto the street and the line to get in will go all the way around the building. Plenty of bars inside though! NYE was insane here! We played billiards. Watched the line-dancers, and had many delicious drinks. Its a great place to hang out with friends! Bring them all! An outdoor beach bar, an indoor tented 90's area, and a line-dancing stage/area too. Bars are everywhere. They need more restrooms for woman though!

    We typically go for family line dancing and it really has been the best experience! Everyone is kind! The instructor is awesome! AND I was surprised how great the food was! It is definitely a step above typical bar food!!

    I got a kick out of this place. Always made me think I was in a 70s movie like Urban Cowboy, Porky's or Blues Brothers

    I'm from Texas and I really miss west coast swing and two stepping. If I show up without a partner is this the type of place that I can just dance with randos? And what days are strictly country?

    Tuesday night is the only night you should consider. Make sure you show up for the entire lesson because that will give you an idea of who you want to dance with. People who skip the lesson may be good or may be bad.

    Do they only play hip-hop/R&B on Thursday nights? If not what other nights can I go to get a good DJ playing modern hip-hop? THX!!

    Music was pretty consistent between bachata as salsa, with the odd merengue in-between.

    I first went to DMS with a slightly crushed heart (a lost love) i needed to set my soul free with…read moremy passion for dance. My night started slow. The music really didn't vibe with my soul at first but by the second glass of white wine I was feeling the inner Shakira in me come out. Two wrap around tables away there sat a mighty build of a man in a fedora. Me being so shy naturally decided to show him that my hips don't lie from a distance slowly making my way closer. I knew his attention was locked in on me. This was my cinderella moment. He came to me and said "dam ma you really be moving" his garlic knot breath misted me but it might as well been the smell of roses he pulled me close as a slow dance came on and we danced. It was an out of body experience. After the dance I excused myself to the restroom to "powder thy nose" as I was alone in there for a min the man I was falling for walked in. He approached me and I thought I was going to have a high school love moment and be kissed. But to my surprise he moved me to the side and went into the handicapped stall and shut the door. As the person I thought was a man was using the restroom. He came out of the restroom and proceeded to wash his hands and make friendly conversation. I guess the look on my face let him know that I had questions. So he then proceeded to tell me that he is ACTUALLY a SHE. I quickly excused myself to gather my thoughts. I sat in the purple velvet couch by myself and just watched the world pass me by. When my newfound female dance partner approached me and sat adjacent. Putting a seemingly manly paw on my leg she looked me in the eyes and at that moment I knew. I was gay. I thank you Dance Mania Singles for showing me the way to be gay.

You can also pay for a parking pass through their website but the lot only opens up an hour beforehand so be sure to plan your evening with that in mind. We ended up parking on the street for only $3 since we arrived early to grab dinner nearby. The entry line was super long and literally went around the block but it moved surprisingly fast. Staff was friendly and helpful at the door. The inside was dark when we arrived and it would've been nice to have some house lights so people could find their way around the venue a little easier. The AC was cranking and the temp was comfortable. Upstairs has standing room and some bleachers which provides a good view with less of a crowd. Their VIP area looks nice and I'd be interested in splurging next time for a seat and a better view. There's bars downstairs and upstairs and even some food concessions. Getting out of the venue from the balcony was a bit stressful with only one way out. It makes you imagine what would happen if you needed to get out in a rush... other than that, it's a good space.
