A few friends started talking about a place they go for cheap salsa lessons. They talked so much about it, and since the lessons are only €7, I finally decided to take my two left feet down to Discoteca Cats (C/ Julián Romea, 4, metro: Islas Filipinas, L7).

The place was packed, and not all of us were beginners. The first hour was only for beginners and then as the night progressed, the dances got more and more complicated- so much so that I finally had to bow out and sit at the bar awhile. But all in all, I learned quite a bit about salsa. It’s a fun night out if you like to dance- and are a good sport. I went on a Sunday at 7 pm, but they also offer lessons on Tuesday at 8 pm.
