Looking for some cool bars and clubs to dance in Los Angeles this 4th of July Weekend? We got you.

For those of us who aren’t feeling the least bit patriotic, especially in our vibrant city of Los Angeles, where our community is being terrorized, just remember that rest and joy are resistance. Dance the pain away at one of these niche dance clubs popping off this 3-day weekend in LA.
