Nightclubs
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.
