Salsathèque

Test your sizzling salsa moves
Word to the wise: Don't worry if you're new to salsa as the club offers a crash course, usually earlier in the evening before the crowds arrive.

Noteworthy for: The club is well-known among competitive ballroom dancers, who drop by occasionally to show off their moves.
The salsa madre of Montréal's Latin clubs, Salsathèque has seen its fair share of bachata, merengue and cha-cha steps during the past 28 years. If you an get past the kitschy 'Saturday Night Fever' style disco decor, you're in for a treat.

The diverse crowd of 20 and 30-somethings burning up the floor may overwhelm some beginners, but don't be put off - the vibe is warm and welcoming. Come on Fridays and Saturdays for the best atmosphere, when live bands jam to tropical-inspired beats.
