Join us for a free tango practica at the Hillside Club in north Berkeley! DJ Estercita spins traditional tango tunes and alternative music.

Sunday, May 31st
7:00-10:00 pm

No stiletto heels are allowed at the Hillside Club, to protect the wooden floor. Please wear either flat dance shoes or dance shoes with low, thick heels, such as character shoes or west-coast swing shoes. Socks or sneakers are fine too.

This is a queer-friendly event where everyone is welcome to lead and follow. Role-switching is encouraged.

We do not have a dance class at this event, but beginners are welcome. Talk with someone you haven't met before, and ask questions! We encourage practicing at this practica. Everyone is free to ask anyone to dance. If someone asks you to dance, you are always free to say "yes" or "no."

BYOB: Beer and wine only. No hard alcohol. All ages welcome. Bring your water bottles!

Note to beginners: You are welcome at this event. If you would like to dance with others, we recommend looking around the room for people who are making eye contact with you, especially at the beginning of a song or set. If you meet someone's eyes and want to dance with them, give a little nod. This is called the cabeceo. Then one or both people will walk towards each other to start dancing. If you don't look around, you might not notice that someone is trying to dance with you. You can also say "Would you like to dance?" If someone asks you to dance, you are free to say "yes" or "no, thank you."

Hosted by Stephanie and Geoff. This is a member-sponsored event of the Hillside Club. Non-members are welcome.
