El Floridita

It's a little Cuban supper club in a very unassuming strip mall in Hollywood, but once the music gets going the dance floor fills up and the dancers are breathtaking. For the novice or just for a fun date night, there are couple’s salsa lessons before the band starts. But once it does, don't be shy, just get out there and move! Make a reservation ahead of time as they fill up fast, and sometimes they won't let you in without one. Plus, if you have a reservation, they’ll normally waive the cover fee. Come early if you'd like to eat, and even earlier if you'd like to eat AND be part of the dance instruction.
