Are you a man that likes to follow or woman who likes to lead? Queer Tango events are a great place to learn an alternative role; to lead or follow and/or switch.
“Queer Tango is a global movement to create inclusive and diverse space for Argentine Tango dancers. This means celebrating gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender dancers. It also means celebrating any dancers who want to experiment with different approaches to gender and roles while dancing Argentine Tango, such as women who want to lead, men who want to follow, and dancers who want to change roles while dancing. Queer Tango is inclusive, which means that people are welcome to dance tango in any roles they want, including the traditional ones.” Definition from Rainbow Argentine Queer Tango
