Argentine tango classes in Berkeley, California

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 most Wednesdays in the Berkeley City Club.  Our next beginner series starts Wednesday, June 10th with tango teachers Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda.  Join us!

There are no classes on Wednesday, July 1st.
