Slow Burn: Bachata & Cigar Night | Lutz, FL | June 11

Some Thursday nights you remember for a week. This one you will remember for a lot longer than that. SLOW BURN is Tampa Bay's only Bachata and cigar experience. One night. One building. World-ranked Bachata instruction, a premier Latin DJ, and a premium cigar lounge on the outside patio. All of it in Lutz, Florida, for $5 at the door. If you have been looking for a Bachata night in the Tampa Bay area that actually respects the dance, the music, and the people who love both, Thursday, June 11 is your night. —————————————————— WHAT IS HAPPENING THAT NIGHT Doors open at 7 PM with happy hour drink specials running until 8 PM. This is your window to arrive, settle in, and let the night find its pace. At 8 PM, Jenny Marie takes the floor. Jenny Marie is a world-ranked instructor who has competed and placed on the international stage. She is teaching the opening lesson at this event. All levels welcome. Whether this is your first time on a Bachata floor or you have been dancing for years, you are learning from someone who has stood on the world stage. That does not happen at a $5 cover on a Thursday night very often. At 9 PM, DJ Mike Sensation takes over. If you have been to a Latin night anywhere in Tampa Bay, you already know this DJ. He reads a room and he does not stop until the energy says otherwise. On the outside patio all night, Tainas Cigars brings a premium cigar experience to match everything happening inside. Step outside, light up, and let the night breathe. —————————————————— THE DETAILS Thursday, June 11, 2026 Doors open at 7 PM Happy Hour 7 to 8 PM Bachata Lesson at 8 PM with Jenny Marie DJ Mike Sensation 9 PM to close The Drinks at 9 Bar & Grill 17667 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Lutz, FL 33548 $5 cover collected at the door in cash.
