In November, we are happy to have tango teacher Mira Barakat back at La Bruja! Mira’s classes focus on simple, elegant movements for social dancing. Mira is equally amazing at leading and following, and promotes role-switching for those who would like to try it. She is an expert at communicating clearly to a large group. This is a series of three Wednesdays. We encourage everyone to sign up for all three classes.
No partner necessary; the teacher encourages people to switch partners throughout the class.
These classes are taught using the terms “leaders” and “followers,” and are inclusive to queer, trans, and non-binary people.
