When I first moved to <strong>Barcelona<\/strong>, I was going to these <strong>clubs<\/strong> frequently, and honestly, I was disappointed with the turnout almost every time. I wanted to meet friendly locals from Barcelona, but all I found were sweaty, intoxicated weekend passerbies, who were completely incapable of holding a rhythm, their alcohol, and a conversation.

Although it is a little less local than the others, it is nonetheless a breeding ground for incredible <strong>dancers<\/strong>. There is usually an entry free, but look for someone handing out free entry tickets before spending the 10 euros.
