Queer Tango Argentino

Abseitz e.V. Stuttgart welcomes all Queer tangueros and Queer tangueras and double role dancers to the first One Day Tango Marathon in Stuttgart. We would like to invite you to join and become part of this special event which will be more than a One Day Marathon. There will be a beginner's class, an advanced class and a whole Milonga until late at night. It will be a party to enjoy great fellowship and a great time with us in Stuttgart. Experienced and popular Tango DJs will play their favorite songs for you!

Programme

Concept: We dance Argentine tango without specific role models. Lead and follow as you like to dance. We would like to dissolve traditional gender roles and make gender diversity tangible. In three workshops we will learn basic and advanced steps and techniques. The Grand Finale will be a One Day Queer Tango Marathon, where you can fully immerse into your Tango passion!

Trainer:
The workshops are being taught by Sabine Lakota.
She has been an avid Queer Tango Dancer for over 17 years and is well experienced in teaching Double Role dancers who aim to learn Tango in both positions.
Sabine's travels and Tango Studies in Argentina, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Greece and France greatly added to her experience and teaching style. Occasionally she performs on various cabaret or theatre stages, e.g. several years ago in Stuttgart's legendary Kings Club.
