Good morning, the internet. Does anyone know anything about Brussels?

My dance team are organising a trip for ourselves and another team there next Easter (location chosen mostly for presence of Belgian beer, and ability to get there on the train).

Right now we're at the planning stage, and looking for things to do, things to see and places to dance for a group of ~30 people. Also a (cheap) place to stay, and places to eat. I'm sure the internet, and the research trip Sally and I are planning, will turn up plenty, but if you have any special recommendations, I'd love hear them!

Duh, of course I should probably have mentioned the Museum of Musical Instruments which is in "Old England", a fantastic Art Nouveau house. The admission is moderately steep (12 EUR/adult) but when we went on Sunday that included a free classical concert played on what I suspect were classical-era instruments for the most part, which was a lovely way of passing an hour.

We fancied the Atomium but it was a longish way from where we were staying (in the EU quarter -- this was being done on some hotel points that G had kicking around) and we couldn't make the timing work with our restaurant reservations. The hardship, darlings...
