Adult Beginner Tango Class 'Posture & Grace'

Tuesdays, 7:30–8:40pm | Sep 2 – Nov 4 : 10 classes

I’m happy to welcome Era Osibe to Glow for her thoughtful and masterful tango class series without a partner. I was introduced to Era by one of our members who is also her dance student, and I fell in love with her the moment we met. She’s in her 70s, radiating playful energy, wisdom, and a little bit of mischief!

When I asked her what she’s doing for the rest of the summer, she said, “Spending August in Paris dancing tango by the Seine and swimming in it every day.” That is Era in a nutshell: graceful, vibrant, and excited for life.

She says: 'Tango isn’t just a dance. It’s a practice of presence, attention, and sass :) Be careful not to get too arrogant!'

Dancing has been part of Era’s life since childhood, inspired by her father, who was also a dancer. She trained in modern dance, ballet, jazz, and ballroom before finding her way to tango, and when she did, it felt like home. To Era, tango isn’t just a dance; it’s a way of moving through the world with grace, presence, and purpose. Teaching it is her passion, because she knows how deeply it can transform a person’s relationship with their body and their confidence.

Today, Era continues to travel the world to study with tango maestros and brings her favorite dance home to the North Beach community, where she shares its magic with beginners of all ages.

As an Assyrian-Iranian woman, Era has always moved against the current. On New Year’s Day 1978, she became one of the first women to swim from Alcatraz with the Dolphin Club, the very first day women were allowed. That moment wasn’t just a swim; it was a declaration. Like tango, it taught her how to move through resistance with rhythm and grace. She still swims there everyday.

Whether you're seeking a new form of self-expression, a joyful movement practice, or a little more sass in your step, this class is your invitation. Come stand taller!
