For the curious: What are Queer & Open Role Tango?
Open role tango allows dancers to switch between leading and following roles. It emphasizes improvisation and creative expression, with partners negotiating and communicating their roles. The goal is to create a strong connection between partners while exploring different aspects of their dance style and personality.
Queer tango challenges traditional gender roles within the dance, but also has a political dimension by promoting inclusivity and questioning heteronormative traditions within society at large. By creating a space where diverse identities and expressions are celebrated, queer tango promotes acceptance and equality for the LGBTQ+ community and after all for each and every one. It serves as a form of resistance against discriminatory norms and empowers individuals to express themselves freely.
