What would Paris be without a few dance steps? From freewheeling on the dancefloor in a nightclub or bar, to taking a class alongside other amateur dancers, Parisians are spoilt for choice when it comes to learning how to dance properly or perfecting their technique, depending on their level! In the capital, dance evenings are legion, to the rhythm of salsa, rock, jazz or even classical, and you can also enjoy a few balls from time to time!
From the banks of the Seine, where couples and strangers move about in the moonlight, to the Latin spots where you can try your hand at a bachata, the music never ceases to rock the City of Light, from dusk till dawn, depending on your stamina! A wide range of festive experiences awaits you in numerous Parisian and Ile-de-France spots, some chic and elegant, others bohemian or downright caliente. Like we said, Paris never sleeps...
