Description:
One popular gafieira, or traditional dance hall, is the Elite, tucked in behind an arcade of Romanesque arches on the second floor of a little pink-and-plaster gem of a colonial building in Centro. Even if you can't dance, it's worth having a drink and watching in awe and admiration as some of the older folks strut their stuff. Often these couples will dress the part: men in crisp linen suits and wing-tip dance shoes and women in rustling silk dresses with ballooning '50s-style skirts. Only open Friday (after 7pm), Saturday (after 10pm), and Sunday (after 6pm).
