DC Queer Tango CollectiveAre you coming to DC for World Pride? Do you dance tango? (Or want to give it a try?) We will be hosting a milonga the night before the Pride Parade. Be Here Queer! Tango Milonga Friday, June 6th, 2025 8 to 11:30pm Join the DC Queer Tango Collective and the Cultural Arts Center and Visual and Performing Arts Department of Montgomery College for a night of social tango dancing, with live tango music! We'll get started with a beginners' queer tango dance class at 7pm, followed by dancing from 8 to 11:30pm. Everyone is welcome to our queer-centered space. We gather to celebrate, in joy and community, and we dance to honor those who have fought for, and continue to fight for, safe and inclusive dance spaces. DJ Alicia Michelle will spin the tango tunes, and we will be joined by tango music duo Arco & Aire, Heyni Solera on bandoneon and Max Wollam-Fisher on the cello. Everything is free of charge and will take place at the beautiful Dance Studio (CU205) of the Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.

DC Queer Tango CollectivePics from today’s queer tango class. I heard there were 6 newcomers! Georgia was out today, so instead of 1hr each of beginner/practica/technique, we did 1.5hr of beginner class followed by 1.5hr of practica. As a reminder, these are free, community-run classes at Montgomery College in Silver Spring every Saturday 1:30-4:30. <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/QueerTango?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerTango</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/TangoQueer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TangoQueer</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/tango?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queerDance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queerJoy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerJoy</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queerDC?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDC</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/WashingtonDC?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WashingtonDC</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/DMV?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DMV</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/eventsDC?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eventsDC</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/SilverSpringMD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilverSpringMD</a>

macoOn Saturday, the organizers of Conexión <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/QueerTango?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerTango</a> Festival said they wanted to give the Filipeli twins a challenge this year. They danced with a third man, Leonardo Sardella. For context, the twins took third place in the 2019 Tango World Championship, the highest two men have ever placed; trying to give them a challenge is justified! In the first song that had all three, they danced as though jealously fighting over each other. <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/TangoQueer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TangoQueer</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/tango?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/tangoArgentino?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/ArgentineTango?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queerDance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/queerJoy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerJoy</a> <a href="https://pix.lgbt/discover/tags/MiamiBeach?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiamiBeach</a>

macoIn Queer Tango Durham, after paying expenses, half of what’s left goes to mutual aid, and the other half goes to scholarships for people to be able to go to other tango events.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a>

macoAt dinner I’m getting details from Emily from Durham about what she said about scholarships and handling costs to make it more accessible.She says they do sliding scale, sometimes providing info on how much the event is costing the group, with a suggested donation, but nobody is turned away for not paying.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a>

macoJosé says we need to make sure the kids know that sure, the rights the government is attacking are attached to the government, but we got them because we, the community, united and fought for them, and we will do that again. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoArgentino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ArgentineTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerHistory</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a>

macoKaren is talking about the tendency for more privileged queer folks to throw less privileged ones under the bus, rationalizing it as saving some of us at the cost of others, and the importance of resisting that and maintaining solidarity within the community. Karen calls out Durham as a great community. Ray doubles down on supporting the trans & genderqueer members of our community. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoArgentino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ArgentineTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerHistory</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a>

macoAlex mentioned an anonymous FB group where people often say “why does queer tango even still exist? They’re welcome in normal milongas now.”Ray Sullivan says tomorrow’s chat will start with discussing those people and how to respond to them. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoArgentino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ArgentineTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerHistory</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a>

macoAlex is also noting how the younger generation experienced a brief window of being able to just *be* out without necessarily even needing to *come* out because acceptance was so great. They note that generation’s absence. And that things are moving backwards to a world those kids never grew up having to protect themselves against. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoArgentino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ArgentineTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerHistory</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a>

macoAlex Pacheco is talking about as a teenager being told that they and their girlfriend needed to dance together less because they’re in public, and there are children present! (And if you want to hold hands or kiss, do it in the bathroom.)Same person organized a queer tango festival a year later. “It’s not about you; I have queer friends!” (Our gasts are collectively flabbered.)<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoArgentino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoArgentino</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ArgentineTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArgentineTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tangoQueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tangoQueer</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerTango" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerTango</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerHistory</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queerDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerDance</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a>

maco(Personally, as soon as I started leading in milongas, not just classes, it got harder to get men to dance with me. I had to individually explain to some that I do both roles.

macoBarbara from Buffalo didn’t know that you couldn’t learn to lead and follow at the same time, so she just did. The workshop needs another leader? Ok, she’s leading tonight.She says she remembers being at a milonga and seeing a man who danced beautifully who she wanted to dance with.
