This was a fantastic spot for Friday nights. You could take dance lessons and then enjoy social dancing afterward. They had a great space available for rent and really catered to the Latin community. I was planning to have my daughter's quinceañera there and have her learn her dance beforehand. Unfortunately, they closed. I'm not sure what happened, but I was really looking forward to it. I hope they reopen soon. I used to go to their original location before they grew popular and moved to a larger venue. Now they're gone, and it's so sad. read more

Baila! The mambo room will get you dancing the salsa, merengue, tango, and bachata as well as belly dancing and hip hop. I've taken a few of their salsa series classes and they offer a great way to learn when you don't have a partner. They make sure everyone in the class trades up partners so you are always dancing with someone new. That's important because you wouldn't want to get stuck with someone all night who has two left feet. When I was a salsa student, they would invite us to practice during their social night. I would always find nice people to help me learn to dance better. I learned merengue just from hanging out at the social. I also tried the bachata, which is a very romantic and beautiful latin dance. You can buy a pass and then drop in on many classes as well. I tried out the hip hop class and it was not only fun but a great workout. They always have a lot of activities going on, so the pass is a great way to have fun and try something new without the pressure of signing up for a 6-week course. read more

A great venue! The staff are all amazing and I'm so grateful to have this space to dance!

I just came in from my first Zumba class. It was AMAZING!!! I had no clue what to do but Maddie made sure I could follow along. I cannot wait to go again! Also I signed up for the 6 week Salsa lessons with Leroy and I am just as excited. It's something about having to wear dance shoes that make you feel so sophisticated. The front desk is right as you enter and the staff is VERY helpful. I recommend everyone to come down and try it out! read more

My Niece's wedding ceremony and reception was absolutely beautiful, breathtaking and flawless at the Mambo room on Sept 12, 2020. Kianda the events coordinator was extremely patient, responsive, flexible, and always professional, and went out of her way to accommodate any and all requests. She also worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. Kianda is AMAZING!!!! Mambo room is a hidden gem nestled in the historical Ghent area of Norfolk. I will definitely recommend the Mambo Room to anyone planning wedding or special event. Thank you again Kianda and Mambo room for playing a part of making my Sunshine feel like the true Queen she is on her wedding day. I'm truly looking into taking a few dance classes in the future. read more

We decided last minute to try to get in some wedding dance lessons the week before our wedding, so we could do more than sway back and forth. The Mambo Room had great recommendations from our neighbors, so we decided to give them a shot. We did their "Wedding Dance Crash Course", which consisted of three hour long lessons. Our instructor, Aly, was so kind and patient with us. We gave her our song and after listening to it, she knew exactly what would work best. She taught us how to walk while we danced, how to fit in a few twirls, and a dip. We had so much fun learning, and it paid off the day of our wedding. We definitely will be coming back for more dance lessons! read more

I don't think I have every had so much fun learning how to salsa and bachata. I love to dance but have two left feet when it comes to latin dancing. My friend invited me out one night and I was all in.. I even decided to wear heels to practice in! I'm not the best salsa dancer but the staff and people at Mambo room welcomed me with open arms, and I was dancing in circles (literally) by the end of the night. It was great! I learned so much and will definitely be going back! read more

The Mambo Room is a wonderful place and the staff is amazing. I wanted a place to have my 40th birthday party. The event coordinator Chris was so helpful and he turned my vision to a reality. My guest and I had an amazing time and the place was decorated beautifully. The staff was so willing and ready to help me make my event everything I had dreamed. If you are looking for a place for a wedding reception, party or a date night this is the place to go. Thank you again Chris and Staff for making my birthday memorable. read more

I love their Friday nights Latin Dance party. Everyone is so nice and respectful. I enjoy that it's never extremely crouded which is nice because you're not bumping into people. The atmosphere is always fun and up beat. This is truly a great palce for bigginers or people who are shy. There is always someone teaching you how to dance and you will basically dance the whole night away learning and laughing. I truly love and enjoy this place. read more

The Mambo Room is without question the best place to learn Latin Dances. The instructors are excellent, the atmosphere is very friendly and the physical facility is top of the line. I took my first bachata and salsa lessons at the Mambo Room. I have also participated in various socials that allow me to practice everything I have learned and continue learning. In addition, the Mambo Room has been giving free Latin Dance lessons to Middle School students at Cradock Middle School in Portsmouth for the past two years. The students love to learn to dance Bachata and Salsa and perform in front of their family, friends and teachers under the coaching of the Mambo Room instructors. I look forward to continue this partnership between the Mambo Room and Cradock Middle School for the benefit of our 7th and 8th graders. I greatly appreciate the services that the Mambo Room provides for the Hampton Roads community. read more

I'm so lucky that my first dancing experience was at the Mambo Room. They really hold the standard on how people should be treated. They didn't make me feel dumb for being new. And they made sure to include me like family. I will (and have) made this place a second home. read more
