Special guests
We've invited two queer dancers who were part of the scene in its early years: Astrid Weiske and Timm Christensen. They'll share some of their memories and experiences from the beginnings of Queer Tango, talking about the joy and the fight that made it possible.
"Disitango - un abrazo feminista" is a documentary by Valérie Loewensberg (2025), shot mostly in Argentina. Tango has long been associated with machismo. Yet in recent years, feminism and the LGBTQIA+ movement have been reshaping tango, opening it up to new forms of expression and inclusion. The solemn charm of traditional tango now intertwines with androgynous bodies, and a new freedom emerges - creative, technical, but above all emotional, embracing the diversity and plurality of gender identities.
As always, we invite queer and double role dancers as well as everyone who enjoys dancing in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere to our milonga.
