Tango dance classes with Anahí at La Bruja: beginning and intermediate

All the way from Buenos Aires, Anahí is visiting Berkeley to teach tango in July! Anahí's classes are challenging, active, and fun. A professor at the National University of the Arts, Anahí has a deep knowledge of tango dance and culture. In these classes, she teaches tango figures for social dancing, emphasizing lead-follow communication. No experience is necessary for the beginner class.
