* What is Queer Tango? 'Queer' is a term that is now used to expand  
on the meaning of the gay liberation movement. Most crucially, it  
shifts the focus from sexuality to gender, questioning the gender  
binary which constrains the expressiveness of many people -- gay and  
straight. A queer perspective is one which allows and encourages  
fluid and changing gender roles, images, and identities. Queer Tango  
is a home for gay and lesbian dancers, for transgender dancers, for  
women leaders who are breaking the rigid gender roles of the tango  
world –likewise men who like to follow, and for new ways of  
experiencing the roles of the dance, like swapping the lead.  Queer  
Tango is inclusive, which means that people are welcome to dance  
tango in any roles they want, including the traditional ones.

With maximum enthusiasm, Queer Tango Boston welcomes everyone to all  
events. Encouragement and support from the established tango  
community is very much appreciated.

Location: Spontaneous Celebrations is one block from the Stonybrook
