We are so happy to welcome instructor Luz Castineiras back to La Bruja to teach the fundamentals of tango. This class is open to total beginners and to anyone who wants to work on their fundamentals. If you just started tango in Felipe and Ayano’s series, we recommend this class. No partner or pre-registration required; just show up!
After the beginner class, Luz teaches milonga! Luz is a master of milonga, both as a leader and a follower. In this class, she explains the differences between body movement in tango and in milonga, which apply even to the most basic steps. She also shows us some of the super-fun milonga figures in her repertoire.
These classes are taught as “leaders” and “followers” and are inclusive to folks of all genders, non-binary & LGBTQ+. Role-switching is welcome.
