I embrace the term 'queer' because it embodies the spirit of freedom and equality from the LGBTQ culture, promoting playful negotiation and safety and respect for all genders, orientations, and styles where anybody can invite anybody to dance and in either role. This is not an exclusion of traditional male (lead only) with female (follow only) culture. It is simply a desire to increase accessibility to those who don't fit that culture neatly and explore a more liberated way and dance expression. The point is to improve access to the tango for queer identified people and explore what is possible within each pairing. You don't have to be queer to attend a queer tango practica. We love integrating with all kinds of dancers and encourage you to come and expand your dance with us. However, we ask people attending queer tango practicas to participate in role switching as you can and dance with all genders.
