Our Queer Tango classes seek to create a safe, LGBTQ+-inclusive space for dancers to practice tango according to their unique interests and preferences. It encourages the study of both roles, role-switching, and dancing with a variety of partners (staying with one partner is also welcome).

In this beginner series you will learn about balance, posture, basic musical education and technique for tango movement, while improvising with a partner. Class vocabulary includes the tango “walk”, cunitas (rock steps), the follower’s cross, back ochos, basic navigational tools and introductory level adornments.

This course covers all of the material in the 6-week Tango Initiation series condensed into one fun weekend of two 3-hour sessions. This course is a great way to dive in and get immersed in tango. People often choose to take this in conjunction with the 6-week series for accelerated learning and integration.
