This is a list of my favorite Jazz Clubs:
* JazzSí Club - Taller de músics. This school for young professional musicians programs jazz and latin music concerts almost every night in their dusty dark bar: MON - Jazz Masters, TUE - Jam Session (Rock, Pop, Blues), WED - Hot Jazz, THU - Cuban, SAT - Jam Session (Jazz), SUN - Jam Session (Rock).
* JazzRoom - Cova del Drac. One of the most emblematic jazz clubs in town, meeting point for the local musicians.
* Jamboree. Another must for jazz lovers in Barcelona. Here performed Ella Fitzgerald, Lionel Hampton, Chat Baker and many more.
* Harlem Jazz Club. Latin jazz, rhythm & blues, swing…
* Bel-luna. Jazz concerts & dinner.
But you can't really dance there. What kind of dancing are you looking for? Clubbing, salsa, tango?

And if you are looking for swing dancing, the local scene calendar is here:

Enjoy your trip!

El Paraigua, right behind Plaza St. Jaume is a great little off the beaten path place with a jazz bar downstairs. You can't really dance, but it has a really cool scene and plays jazz or live music every weekend. http://www.elparaigua.com/
