ATCB teaches Argentine tango through semester-long beginner class series, held weekly in Eshleman Hall with world-class guest instructors. No prior dance experience or partner required. Members rotate partners as part of the learning process, then apply their skills at Bay Area milongas (tango social dance events) on club field trips. The club also hosts its own on-campus milongas, Milonga Fiat Lux, open to the broader community. Classes are queer, trans, and non-binary inclusive.
