DC Queer Tango Collective
We are a group of tango dancers in the Washington, DC area interested in learning both the 'leader' and 'follower' roles, and in role-switching or role-free dancing, all without regard to our gender or the gender of our dance partner.
Everyone is welcome regardless of gender, ability or any other type of orientation. We strive to create a space where we can safely explore tango in all its beauty and without preconceptions about gender based roles.
We seek to create and foster milongas (tango dances) and practicas that are inclusive and respectful, and where everyone (and especially women, LGBTQs, and others who have traditionally been subordinate or less visible in tango) is an equal and is fully empowered to explore and share in the connection, joy, and art of tango dancing.
