Tango 101 with Felipe and Ayano in Berkeley (6 weekly dance classes)

Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda are returning to the Bay Area! They will be teaching Tango 101, their famous beginning tango dance series.

Felipe and Ayano teach challenging, fun classes where everyone is encouraged to lead and follow. In Tango 101, they introduce lead-follow technique and the fundamental structures of tango.

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.
