Barcelona, its not only a beautiful city it also has some good salsaclubs and instructors to offer! I currently live here and have gained some information about where and when to go to get the most out of the salsaexperience. On the right hand side I have listet places and schools I have visited. I guess there is still some clubs and instructors that I don't know about. But these are the most popular clubs and schools. Below you can find a description of each club, and the days best for salsadancing as many of the clubs are open 7 days a week. Agua de Luna Right now this is the hot spot on Wednesdays. It tends to change a little as there is always a new salsaplace opening up in Barcelona, and competition is hard. You will find people dancing New York, LA and Cuban style. And there is always a rueda. Gets packed around 12 and is open until 3-4. Best day for salsa: Wednesday. Recommended! Mojito club The best day for salsa is Thursday and Sunday nights. LA and Cuban style and this off course inclueds some ruedas. But the level on the rueda is not great as everyone, even those who only knows the basics tend to join. The club is hosting a great atmosphere and you will find dancers in all levels. The club is also a danceschool in the earlier hours - Buenavista Salsa - and the teachers stays for some hours into the night. On Sundays there is a live band playing from about 1 a.m. Opening hours is subject to amount of people, but normally they close at 5 a.m. On Thursday nights its good from 11 p.m. On Sunday nights from 12-01 a.m. As the addicted ones go to Sugar Club before going to Mojito on Sunday nights. Bikini Nice, intimate atmosphere. The people here know each other as they go to the same danceschool -Open dance-. The teachers are here on Thursday nights and they are energic and very nice, bringing the good atmosphere. They are classicaly trained and are dancers on a professional level, not only dancing salsa. Mostly LA and Cuban. Thursday salsa from 12.30-2.30 a.m more or less. Continues on with diverse latin/pop music until the early hours. Sugar Club Plays salsa from 12.30-03.00 a.m Friday nights and from 9.00 p.m - 01.00 a.m Sunday nights. Sunday is the hottest night bringing salseros from all around Barcelona together. LA, New York and Cuban style. This club doesn't have a danceschool and thus competition free, so everyone comes here, no matter where they are teaching or who they are taught by. Tends to be very crowded on Sundays nights but this day is absolutley Recommended! Up & Down This clubs spins salsa on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Wednesdays there is not a lot of people as Agua de Luna is the hot spot. But on Saturdays this club kickes off! Ramon Morales is the teacher and has classes on Wednesdays. He is also always in control of some fun footwoork for everyone. They have Ruedas, and you will find great dancers dancing LA, Cuban and New York style. Wednesday classes from 9.30-11.30. People not taking the class starts coming around 12 a.m. On Saturdays the club gets crowded from 1-2 and is closing at 5 a.m more or less. Antilla This club gets crowded with cuban dancers on Friday nights. Personally I don't like the place, the level is low, its too crowded and guys can be sleazy. But for someone its heaven, some cuban dancers and dancers that dance just for fun or for simply regulary people that like to move a little, this place is a great altenative to other clubs. And it is also open on Tuesdays, when I have never been here, and it might be very good. Habana Barcelona I haven't vistited this club I just know that it exists, check out the website for details. |
