La Viruta is one of my weekend tango haunts.
Dancing starts late, and the best dancing, even later.
(Once when I was headed to La Viruta from another milonga at about 1:30 a.m., a dancer told me with a surprised look, “But it’s really early for La Viruta!” She was right.)
After 3:30 a.m., it’s free. And continues until 6 a.m. (Maybe 6:30?)
I like it in the wee hours, when the dance floor clears a bit and those who are there just to find a date have gone.
I also like the mix of levels of dancing. It ranges from beginner to professional.
They also mix up the music, every so often playing a swing or salsa or even chacarera.
