Welcome to the Washington DC Queer Tango Collective
Our Mission: Organized by and for LGBTQ+ dancers and their allies, the Collective seeks to create joyful, safe, and inclusive queer tango spaces and experiences. We celebrate all gender identities, orientations, and forms of self-expression and reject gender-based prejudices. We dance with 100% consent, building community and caring for and learning from each other.
