We are a group of dancers in the Washington, DC area that is interested in learning tango in a queer-centered space and that values community and coalition-building among underprivileged groups. Allies are welcome. Please see our Community Norms (https://www.dcqueertangocollective.com/community-norms) to learn about our expectations.

All of our events are free of charge. We strive to create a space where members of the LGBTQ+ community can safely explore tango without preconceptions about gender and gender-based roles.

Come as you are, and dance as you wish!
