We are so happy to welcome instructor Luz Castineiras back to La Bruja to teach the fundamentals of tango. This class is open to total beginners and to anyone who wants to work on their fundamentals. If you just started tango in Felipe and Ayano’s series, we recommend this class. No partner or pre-registration required; just show up!After the beginner class, Luz teaches milonga! Luz is a master of milonga, both as a leader and a follower. In this class, she explains the differences between body movement in tango and in milonga, which apply even to the most basic steps. She also shows us some of the super-fun milonga figures in her repertoire.
These classes are taught as “leaders” and “followers” and are inclusive to folks of all genders, non-binary & LGBTQ+. Role-switching is welcome.

Luz Castineiras was born and raised in Buenos Aires and brings a unique perspective to tango. For over five years, she researched tango as a therapy tool to improve social-emotional and cognitive skills in palliative care settings.
Luz studied contemporary dance and Music therapy in addition to tango. She began dancing tango at Studio Dinzel in Buenos Aires, where she was able to incorporate these two disciplines. In 2011, she moved to the Bay Area and began teaching tango with various partners at la Pista SF, Studio 1924, and Alma del Tango Studio.
Luz is a heart-and-soul tango dancer, and her dance communicates her strength and knowledge of music. In her classes, students are encouraged to explore tango and dance techniques, connection and musicality. She creates a friendly, inviting atmosphere for learning and always looks for active feedback from students.
