Mumbai has a good
nightlife, Mumbaikars tend to wear black at clubs, so bring some dark, smart,
fashionable clothes if you intend to explore the club scene. Rhythms tend to be
modern western dance music with the Hindi film song or bhangra (Indian Pop)
number thrown in. Dancing is conducted with a degree of modesty and asking a
complete stranger for a twirl is likely to be considered a breach of social
etiquette.
