Queer Tango is a global movement to create inclusive and diverse space to dance Argentine Tango. 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
Queer Tango is a
new way to dance Argentine tango free from traditional codes.
Its proposal is to dance tango without pre-established roles according to the
gender of the dancers and to perform the exchange of leader and follower.
Therefore it is related to open role or same-sex tango. The queer tango
movement permits not only an access to tango for the LGBT community, but also
supports existing possibilities for heterosexual dancers — women learn the
lead, men learn the follow. Studying both roles, women and men enhance their
communication and sensitivity.
