Tango 101 and intermediate tango dance classes with Felipe & Ayano (six dates)

World-class tango teachers Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda are returning to the Bay Area! 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. In the intermediate series, they introduce more complex figures to help students refine their technique.
