Thursdays tend to be more of a "dancers’ night" when you can watch advanced
salseros strut their stuff, while Saturday appeals to a "party" crowd as well as
many regulars. However, if you
don’t get enough, or you’re a beginner who wants more space to practice, other
nights would be more suitable.
Cocomo has a lovely courtyard reminiscent of a tropical paradise with covered
patios and heat lamps for those crisp winter (and summer) nights.
If you’re hungry, you can get a complete dinner served as well.
Recessed
"Tropical Aqua Bar" opens up the entire club for dancing.
A balcony with a bar, a lounge area, tables, a small dance floor and an
outside deck with bathrooms is a great observation area where you can see all
the action on the main dance floor below.
Check the club’s website for a panoramic view of the premises.
