The music and dance scene in Baltimore is very diverse. The dance clubs may not look like much from the outside, as many are converted warehouses, but inside there are music and light shows to enhance your dance experience. The music in Baltimore dance clubs includes house music, rock music, country music and Latin music. Some clubs offer nights with free dance lessons.
