Our passion is Argentine tango. Queer Tango is to dance Argentine tango without regard to the traditional heteronormative roles of the dancers, and often to exchange the leader and follower roles. Therefore it is related to open role or same-sex tango. The queer tango movement permit an access to tango for the LGBTQ+ community and also supports female leaders and male followers, regardless of orientation.
