Dancers' Alley: Where the Cool Kids Hang

This spot is more than just a path; it's a canvas where every night, dancers paint the air with K-pop kicks, breakdance spins, and jazz hands. It's open 24/7, making any time a good time to check out Darling Harbour's coolest dance spot.

Latin Nights by the Bay: Your Friday Night Fix
