The L.A. dance club scene is all that and more. For fun rave like nights, up-and-coming DJs, and accessible and unpretentious vibes, here are the best spots for dancing the night away.

Channel your inner J-Lo and grab your pals for a serious no frills dance party at The Satellite. Dance Yourself Clean is about the music. The DYC concept, which was born in Seattle, is not your typical warehouse rave. DYC requests that you leave any inhibitions at the door and let yourself free to do your thang on the dance floor. DYC is all about the music and clubbers put it all out there with favorite dance beats by LCD Soundsystem, CHVRCHES, Charli XCX, Haim, Miami Horror and more. Fog, lasers, a big dark room and music fills the blank canvas giving dancers the space to create their mark.
