La Bruja

Join us for Argentine tango in the East Bay! Tango is one of the world’s oldest partner dances, originating in Argentina and Uruguay.  Dancing tango is a rich and complicated journey towards flow and connection.  Our dance classes prepare you for dancing at milongas (social dances)—you can find one almost every night in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our dance classes welcome students of all ages.  Tango classes meet (almost) every Wednesday in the Berkeley City Club.  Our next beginner series starts Wednesday, July 9th, with tango teachers Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda.  No experience necessary for the beginner class.  See you soon!

NO CLASS ON JUNE 4th!

Join us for Tango 101 with Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda. This is a series of six classes geared towards total beginners. No partner necessary; no experience necessary.

UPDATE: This class has already started. If you are new to tango, please wait and start at the beginning of our next series on Wednesday, July 9th.

If you have been dancing for more than six months, join us for Felipe and Ayano’s intermediate class, starting at 8:30 pm on the same dates!
