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, March 5th, 2025, with tango teachers Diego Lanau and Alejandra Saravia.  No experience necessary for the beginner class.  See you soon!

Luz Castineiras is teaching a beginner series and intermediate series in Berkeley, starting Wednesday, Februrary 5th! The intermediate series focuses on vals.

These dance classes are taught using the terms “leaders” and “followers” and are inclusive to queer, trans, and non-binary people.
