Tango classes with Felipe and Ayano, August 2026

Tango teachers Felipe Martinez and Ayano Yoneda will be teaching tango dance classes at the Berkeley City Club on Wednesdays, August 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th!  We recommend signing up for all four dates (beginner series or intermediate series).  However, drop-ins are also welcome.

Felipe and Ayano teach a very challenging beginner series, and we recommend it to everyone. It is different from other teachers’ beginner classes. The intermediate series is geared towards dancers who have been dancing weekly for three months or more, and is also very challenging.

7:00-8:00 pm beginning tango series
8:00-8:30 pm practica

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.
