Free flat-shoe tango practica at the Hillside Club

Join us for a free Argentine tango practica at the Hillside Club in Berkeley!
No stiletto heels are allowed at the Hillside Club, to protect the wooden floor. Please wear either flat dance shoes or dance shoes with low heels, such as character shoes or west-coast swing shoes. Socks or sneakers are fine too.
This is a queer-friendly event where everyone is welcome to lead and follow.
There is no dance class at this event, but beginners are welcome. We encourage practicing at this practica!
BYOB: Beer and wine only. No hard alcohol. All ages welcome. Please bring your water bottles.

Note to beginners: You are welcome at our event. If you would like to dance with others, we recommend looking around the room for people who are making eye contact with you, especially at the beginning of a song or set. If you meet someone's eyes and want to dance with them, give a little nod. This is called the cabeceo. Then one or both people will walk towards each other to start dancing. If you don't look around, you might not notice that someone is trying to dance with you. You can also say "Would you like to dance?" If someone asks you to dance, you are free to say "yes" or "no, thank you."
