Join us for Tango 101: a fun, challenging introduction to Argentine tango. We are so happy to be hosting Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda to teach this series, which they have taught for many years in San Francisco and at Stanford. Tango is an improvisational dance based on connection and communication. Felipe and Ayano teach the fundamental structures that give rise to grace, fluidity, and creativity in social dancing. No partner necessary; no experience necessary.
These classes are taught using the terms "leaders" and "followers," and are inclusive to queer, trans, and non-binary people.

6:45-7:00 pm: check-in
7:00-8:00 pm beginning tango series

The practicas are included with the classes. Stay, dance, and ask questions!

La Bruja Tango holds tango classes every Wednesday (with few exceptions). If you have been dancing tango regularly for about six months, check out Felipe and Ayano's intermediate series, scheduled right after Tango 101 at 8:30 pm on the same dates. Felipe and Ayano will also be teaching at La Bruja on Wednesdays in July. We hope you will all continue with us then! Event organized by Lindsey Newbold.
