Tango 101 and Intermediate Tango with Felipe and Ayano in Berkeley

Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda are back in the Bay! Join us for their beginner class or intermediate class! Felipe and Ayano teach challenging, fun classes where everyone is encouraged to lead and follow. In the beginning class, they introduce lead-follow technique and the fundamental structures of tango. In the intermediate class, they introduce more complex figures to help students refine their technique. No partner necessary; the teachers encourage 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.
