And for a contrast to what I said about Monday’s milonga: my favorite milonga is the Thursday night one, #Chacho.

I always say “the floor’s not great, but the people are!”

A friend once said “oh, I don’t count Chacho as straight #tango. Nobody stares when I dance with another guy.”

Yes. Going to Chacho is as close to a #queerTango experience as you will get without putting the “queer tango” label on it.

I danced 12 tandas tonight with 11 people: 5 women & 6 men.

It probably seems ironic that the milonga I think of as the *least* queer-friendly in town is the one where I almost exclusively lead and almost exclusively dance with women.

But the thing is, I’m not doing it by choice.

The male regulars *stopped dancing with me* when I started leading in public. It’s a sort of ostracism for violating the traditional gender roles of #tango.

Are you coming to DC for World Pride? Do you dance tango? (Or want to give it a try?) We will be hosting a milonga the night before the Pride Parade.

Be Here Queer! Tango Milonga
Friday, June 6th, 2025
8 to 11:30pm

Join the DC Queer Tango Collective and the Cultural Arts Center and Visual and Performing Arts Department of Montgomery College for a night of social tango dancing, with live tango music! We'll get started with a beginners' queer tango dance class at 7pm, followed by dancing from 8 to 11:30pm. Everyone is welcome to our queer-centered space. We gather to celebrate, in joy and community, and we dance to honor those who have fought for, and continue to fight for, safe and inclusive dance spaces. DJ Alicia Michelle will spin the tango tunes, and we will be joined by tango music duo Arco & Aire, Heyni Solera on bandoneon and Max Wollam-Fisher on the cello.

Everything is free of charge and will take place at the beautiful Dance Studio (CU205) of the Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.

See you there!

Next Flashback • my revisit of the #mozart's #requiem . I made it for this #show #performingart by the 🇨🇭 #choreographer TANIA DE PAOLA
taniadepaola.com

She met F. #botero #painter #sculptor in Paris, (who gave her exclusive rights!) and created 5 #characters evolving on stage inside a giant frame, inspired by his #paintings

For this soundtrack, I explored #grooves #jazz #tango #rock #blues #flamenco and other surprises hidden in the Requiem #score 🥳

The Filipeli twins were given a challenge by the organizers of Conexion Queer Tango Festival: dance with a third person in the mix, Leonardo Sardella.

For reference, at the World Tango Championships in 2https://pix.lgbt/i/web/compose#019, the Filipeli twins took 3rd place in tango escenario, which is the highest any non-traditional couple has ever ranked in tango.

Pics from today’s queer tango class. Georgia was out today, so instead of 1hr each of beginner/practica/technique, we did 1.5hr of beginner class followed by 1.5hr of practica.

As a reminder, these are free, community-run classes at Montgomery College in Silver Spring every Saturday 1:30-4:30.

14 people smile around a progress pride flag and Queer Tango Collective sign. They are of various races and cover practically every stage of adulthood.
Three couples practice having one person mirror the other in walking forward and back and changing weight without touching. The nearest couple, we see a person with long black hair in a claw clip, a black sleeveless top, and a red flannel tied around the waist, dancing with someone else in a red shirt and red and white skirt who has brown and pink curly hair.
4 couples in practice embrace (hands to arms) practicing moving and walking. We can see pairs of matching pointed toes in two couples, while the other two are lifting a foot to move.
Two couples, without touching, practice mirroring each other, legs outstretched as one half of each couple leads the other to step. The instructor is in the background. The nearest couple includes a person with big curly hair, a yellow shirt, and black pants along with another person with long straight hair, a black shirt and waist cincher, and short black skirt along with black ballet slippers.

The main purpose of our excursion while in Uruguay in 2016 was to visit the Juanicó winery and partake in a wine-tasting. We'd reached here by steam train (see last post) and had a walk around the vineyard and cellars first, then were treated to the wine-tasting itself with some lunch.

The wine-tasting was the booziest one we've ever had. Picture five glasses for five wines. A little in glass A from the people moving table-to-table, then a little in glass B, then being asked if we liked A and wanted more so getting glass A filled to the top, then a little in glass C, then B being filled up, then a little in D, then more A and filled-up C, and we sort of lost track after that. We *think* we drank two bottles per person.

After the wine-tasting we were treated to some Uruguayan Tango, and it was fabulous. After that, though, "volunteers" were requested from the visitors to dance with the pair pictured and that's how I then ended up dancing with the woman here. Well, "dancing" to be more accurate.

We're in a large room with a high ceiling, well-lit by natural light. The floor is concrete inlaid with rows of bricks spaced out far apart and the far wall that we can see is red brick decorated with some large, dark, somewhat abstract paintings and wall decorations. and with a low wooden table and black leather armchairs set around it just in front. In the centre of the room, filling the view, there are two dancers performing an Argentine Tango (well, Uruguayan, really). The male is dark haired, powerfully-built, dressed all in black with loose-fitting trousers on his suit. The woman has long dark hair slicked back and pulled into a tight pony tail. She's wearing a burgundy velvet, figure-hugging dress with pink and white flowery frills. The man is thrusting forward on one bended knee, supporting the woman who is arched back over his thigh with her right leg planted and left leg raised.

On Saturday, the organizers of Conexión #QueerTango Festival said they wanted to give the Filipeli twins a challenge this year. They danced with a third man, Leonardo Sardella.

For context, the twins took third place in the 2019 Tango World Championship, the highest two men have ever placed; trying to give them a challenge is justified!

In the first song that had all three, they danced as though jealously fighting over each other.

Twin brothers Nicolás & Germán Filipeli dance with Leonardo Sardella between them. Germán is leading. All three men have short dark hair and beards. The twins are wearing maroon blazers and black pants. Leonardo is wearing a black shirt, black and silver plaid waistcoat, and silver pants. Nicolás looks serious. Leonardo is grinning.
After hurriedly dancing to the far end of the dance floor, as though running from Leonardo, Nicolás puts out a hand, his expression pleading Leonardo not to steal Germán away from him.
Germán leads Leonardo to kick backwards between Nicolás’s open legs. Nicolás faces away from the camera, and Germán faces toward it. Leonardo is facing right, according to the camera. Nicolás is taking a step forward (away from the camera) with his right foot as Leonardo’s right foot passes between his legs.
Their backs to the camera, the twins each hold one of Leonardo’s hands. His weight is on his bent left leg, and his right leg is kicked out far behind him.
