Damián,

My impression (as a non-Latino dancer):

Barrios: I don't go there much. Tiny dance floor, difficult to move around, and also difficult to invite the ladies. So it's best if you go as a group.

Brasseur des Grottes: It’s a restaurant with dance floor downstairs. Mainly pizza etc, but they could probably arrange latino food. The dance school has on some occasions arranged buffets on the dance floor. As a salsa place, it’s become one of the favourites in town.

MàD: Great dance place, but you should come early, otherwise it’s too crowded. It’s a cooperative, so they may accept arranging a special evening. (If on the normal salsa night, Thursday, this would probably have to be when there are no courses, i.e. July or September.

I suggest looking at some of the schools, e.g salseros-de-hoy (Vernier) or salsa-virus in Thonex. (Or tomorrow sabor latino is organising a big evening in Onex, try hooking up with them). I went recently to the Kentucky dance club in France, they have a marvellous place, but you cannot get there without a car.

If you define tango as a latino dance, you should check out tango-sr.com. There are in fact more communal activities in tango than in salsa, and especially in summer, there’s a great deal of outdoor activities, to which one could hook up. (It may not be what you’re planning, but I could imagine a picnic in the Parc du Perle du Lac, in conjunction with the outdoor tango there.)

Let me know if I can help any more,
