Beginning tango dance classes with Mira Barakat (3 dates)

In November, we are happy to have tango teacher Mira Barakat back at La Bruja! Mira’s classes focus on simple, elegant movements for social dancing. Mira is equally amazing at leading and following, and promotes role-switching for those who would like to try it. She is an expert at communicating clearly to a large group. This is a series of three Wednesdays. We encourage everyone to sign up for all three classes.

No partner necessary; the teacher encourages 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.

Wednesdays, November 12th, 19th, and 26th
6:45 pm: check-in
7:00-8:00 pm beginning tango series
8:00-8:30 pm practica

The practicas are included with the classes. Stay, dance, and ask questions!

The beginner class is open to all levels. Mira also teaches an intermediate class at 8:30 on the same dates. The intermediate class is geared towards people who have been dancing for at least three months (12 tango classes). Beginners are welcome to watch the intermediate class.
