HI Dawn, pretty much no matter what you do you will stick out like a sore thumb. I regularly go to local dance clubs and would be more then happy to take you and your hubby along. THat way you can get the experience and feel safe!
Some Clubs:
Orion - open saturday and sunday only. Large, all latin music. Close building
Terraza Caribe - large as well, all latin with a bit of reggaeton. This is covered but with partially open side walls. Friday saturday and sunday are best. I almost always go there on Sunday nights.
La Canita - large, all latin with a bit of reggaeton. Newly remodeled and much safer then before. Same construction basically as Terraza Caribe. I like Wednesday and Friday here.
Rancho Tipico - just the other side of Puerto Plata (west) Large, same construction design, same music.
Mountainview - smaller in some ways, smaller dance floor. NOt a club I like to go to.
Azucar - east of Playa Dorada, just before Montellano. Large, two floors, same construction - ceiling with 1/2 walls. All latin with a bit of reggaeton. I go there once in a while.
There are many other smaller places but these are the bigger ones.
Drinks: Beer, rum by the bottle - small or larger - white, regular or aged - you order the bottle and mix get a bucket of ice and glasses for under $10 US. Not bad at all. Beer prices are going up January 1 so I will let you know later.
Dress - well almost anything goes but dress down a bit. Jeans are more then acceptable. Lately we are seeing the local ladies in really really short shorts. I'm not sure how they can move...... but the boys like them. Tops are short, tight and flashy.....LOL Men - who cares what they wear it is all about us women...
Schools: nope I am not a teacher - except some dancing lessons - but I have friends who are teachers or who are dating teachers. I like to help out. Whatever you can get "donated" is a big help.
Send me an email or PM me for contact info if you want to go out on the town....
