Dancing Clubs in Tel-Aviv

Many Bars in Tel-Aviv are a combination of a Bar with a small dancing floor (sometimes people are even dancing on the tables). You can find these kind of places a little bit everywhere in the areas mentioned before.
Big dancing clubs with famous DJs tend to be in industrial zones, like Haoman 17 around Florentin, for example.
To find the dancing clubs that are popular right now, you can look the Tripadvisor Nightlife section. Use the filters on the left, to choose only the dancing clubs.

Salsa dancing in Tel-Aviv

The main Salsa club is: Havana club. (Facebook Havana Club)

Start from this place and ask the regular dancers about more places to dance (it changes). In Tel-Aviv you can dance Salsa almost every day. The evening usually begins around 22:00 with a class of one hour in many levels and just after comes the party.

Going to Salsa in Israel is a good way to meet people and if you can’t dance Salsa, simply join the beginner level group.
In summer time, there is Salsa dance in some of the bars on the beach, but you’ll have to ask people because each year it happens in different places at different days.
You can look at this Video of a Salsa night in Havana club (after class, Bachata demo). Visit also my page about the Salsa dancing styles.

That’s it, enjoy the nights of Tel-Aviv.
