Beginning & intermediate tango dance classes w Carrie Field, Berkeley
June 3 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm PDT

Join us for tango classes with Carrie Field in Berkeley! Carrie’s classes are influenced by her experience in Pilates, the Gyrotonic method and yoga. She writes, “I hope to offer insight that enhances physical presence with yourself and your partner. These tango classes will be influenced by Tango Inform, which is a collection of exercises to prepare the body specifically for tango.” For more information on tango inform: https://tangoinform.wordpress.com/

These classes are taught using the terms “leaders” and “followers,” and are inclusive to queer, trans, and non-binary people. No partner necessary; the teacher encourages people to switch partners throughout the class.
Join this beautiful dance of walking in an embrace to orchestrated music. We will learn and explore up to five tango basics with a focus on movement fundamentals.
This series at La Bruja explores simple functional anatomy for Tango through concepts and exercises from Tango Inform. Build body awareness, movement clarity, and enhance proprioceptive experience. Applications for both follow and leader roles will be offered and we will dance.
