This isn't a cliquish type of place, instead people are accepting of all dancers, whether you are a 'pro' or you're just starting out. The energy in the dancers is contagious and everyone dances with everyone. I try to get in early so I don't have to pay so much, but it is worth paying for. The cover is $5 if you enter around 9pm and doubles after 9. This is a local hangout with regulars frequenting the club. Pure is a DC gem for rueda de casino salsa dancers.
