About this Event
In January, La Bruja Tango welcomes tango instructor Luz Castineiras! In the intermediate class, we focus on vals! Luz teaches figures that are especially fun for dancing to vals rhythms, and explains how the body movement for vals is different from that of tango. Luz is equally amazing at leading and following, and explains the technique for both roles.

Luz will also be teaching at La Bruja for the first three Wednesdays in February!
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.
