Best Places in Vegas to Dance the Night Away
Looking for a place to pick up a few dance steps to sweep your sweetheart off her feet? Wish you knew how to actually dance? Too cheap or too scared to take lessons? Never fear. Free (or nearly free) dance lessons are here. Vegas offers free Keno lessons, but if you want to make like James Bond, learn to line dance, swing, cha cha, tango, two-step-, rumba, hustle or do the salsa. Lessons typically take place a half-hour or so before the club opens. Nightclubs are typically 21 and older, but many restaurants and social clubs offer all ages dancing. 
Call ahead to verify policy for that night’s dance.
Join the Las Vegas Dance meetup to learn how to dance with other eager amateurs, get an updated schedule or practice with other enthusiastic and beginning dancers. Swing Vegas, Swing offers free and paid dance lessons and practice sessions in local clubs. Salsa Las Vegas offers lessons, events and other dance info. Vegas-salsa.com keeps up a pretty good list of salsa dancing locations (not necessarily with free dance lessons). So there’s really no excuse not to shake a leg – or two. Have a favorite place we missed? Please feel free to share.
