Sharukh, 
If I may, what you omitted in "What you get at Práctica X" is that he management will not interfere if you lead shoulder high boleos or whirling colgadas, e.g. As long as you do not hurt anyone. I.e., the practica provisions apply. Not sure that´s allowed in Viejo Correo.
And in response to Vince who wrote: "...I suspected that it is not a true practica.". Indeed Practica X was one of the first (if not the first) tango venues that allowed dancing free of milonga restrictions on style, i.e., "nuevo". Hence the designation "practica". During its 5 year existence it became a premier young crowd dance venue and some of the dancers coming now are rank beginners so the "nuevo" crowd was substantially diluted - a milonga of young people. Yet "nuevo" is OK and you might see Pablo Inza, e.g., pushing the envelope if he has a right partner and a sufficient space.
