Best EDM Bars Or Clubs In Sacramento

Dancing is a personal endeavor, an expression of self. Having the right kind of music to move you is important. Different clubs play different kinds of dance music that don't appeal to everyone alike. For many, EDM is the only music worth listening to and for that reason, it's important to know which club is right for you. If you need to get your dance on and only EDM will do, here are five places to wear your boogie shoes.

Don't just go to District 30 because it's conveniently located in the K Street Mall. This high class nightclub boasts multiple flatscreens and "a brand new sound system from the world wide leader in dance club sound: Eastern Acoustic Works QX System." District 30's modern look and spacious layout make it a welcoming space to dance with your partner. Before or after your dance experience, spend some time taking in the building's facade of glowing LED "puzzle art."
