Yes, white girl can salsa... bachata, Casina Rueda, and even a little cumbia sonidera. So you can just wipe that surprised look right off your face! The man standing outside the entrance as I walked up asked me if I was ready to dance. I kind of thought the dance shoes I was carrying in my hands were a pretty good clue, but maybe he was just making conversation. That's how serious dancers recognize a kindred spirit - by the shoe bags or dance shoes in our hands; we never dance in street shoes or walk around the parking lot in our dance shoes. When I said "Yes!" he followed it up with "You salsa good?" Oh yeah, Honey - I "salsa good" This was my first time at La Movida and I was very impressed. Yes, I know you're looking at the map and shaking your head saying to yourself "It's down off Union for heaven's sake." Well, get over it. La Movida has a large well lit parking lot with signs announcing that there is 24 hour video surveillance, and I felt perfectly comfortable parking and walking in (and out at the end of the night) by myself. Inside, there is a surprisingly large dance floor with ample space around it to hold tables and chairs for quite a few dancers or music lovers (The space holds 1150 people). The club seems to play mostly salsa, bachata, and cumbia music, but that could have just been the night I was there. I danced for several hours, spinning like crazy every chance I got, and my knees didn't hurt afterwards so I'm declaring the dance floor very danceable. I've heard they have a lot of live bands that play there, too!!The club is attractively decorated and lit. I was particularly fascinated with the colored lighting behind the bar. It took me a while to realize that the lights were slowly cycling through colors from blue and green to purple and red, but in such a subtle way that it was not immediately obvious what was going on. The effect was actually very well done, even upscale. The bartenders and servers were very courteous and friendly, and the drink prices not unreasonable. I would absolutely go back! Girl's gotta get her dance on!!

Ayyyyy, what can I say. Attempted to go here with my buddies on a Saturday night but were delightfully met with the cover charge. Considering they only play one type of music and it's essentially a regional/Mexican type club the cover charge was exceedingly high. At $40 per person a 3 person group was gonna cost me $120. We know that most of the money in clubs is made with the alcohol sales since they are marked up, so it made zero sense and was quite infuriating that the cover was 40. Will never go here or even think about going here again.

Just went yesterday for an event, drove 2 hours to get there & i will never ever go back. Super bad rude staff. When the artist started playing the waiter didn't let get back to my table like wtf?! While everyone was doing whatever the hell they wanted. That waiter was so rude, i wish I could take back my tip i had gave him at the beginning. I've been to so many places & this is just bad, I don't recommend it, if I could give it 0 stars i would.

I called to make a reservation and the guy who answered was an absolute asshole. I told him I wanted a sillon para mi y novia and I would pay the cost. But he insulted me and said that I should not be served at any place because of a reservation should not be for only two people. Guy who answered should be fired, you do not conduct business by insulting your clients. Avoid this place.

We came down from Los Angeles our first experience was worth the drive. Some people next to us were drunk being rude and confrontational so we told the security that was close by bald guy with glasses he went and spoke with them after that we had no other issues the rest of the night. I wish more clubs had professional guards like that guy. I offered him a tip and he said no thank you it's my job to make sure everyone is safe and have a great time.

Worst nightclub . Bald security with glasses wanted us to pay him under the table in order for us to stay for a inconvenience we had that wasn't such a big deal . We still stayed and did not pay him cause we talked to the people in front . Bald security with glasses should be fired .
