The Tunnel
Moscow, Russia

Opening Time: 20:00 - 00:00

The idea of having a club in a tunnel is very original. You have to go downstairs to get into the place. There are several rooms, but they are mainly used for having a drink with friends, and just one is used for dancing on wednesdays.

This seems to be a very popular place, with high quality dancers in NY and LA style mainly. Music is very good as well, with Dj Zaiz, a woman that Djs mostly on2 music, some times too fast for me. I am more into the slow motion, more to develop the movement from inside. But this way is challenging.

I would say the second best place after Navarros in Moscow. The big disadvantage here is the crowd here. Too many people for such a small place. This is the thing that I hate the most, when you have to spend 70% of your time checking people surrounding you, instead of dancing with your partner. But even though, people are respectful and they don't step on you. That is because they are good dancers.

Music:
- NY: 35%
- LA: 30%
- Bachata: 15%
- Cha-cha: 20%

Don't throw away your entry ticket because you get a hot tea with it. I got mine and let it cool after several songs.

Dance floor is good there, and people tend to leave quickly, so you can start enjoying your dance around 23:00. The good part is that this place seems to be a hub for good dancers in the american styles. And it is always a pleasure to see them dancing or to share a dance with them.
