American sports culture has long held room for just one kind of athlete: male, macho, preferably tackling. Girls weren’t given the same stadiums, screens, or reverence, even when we played and won.

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!

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.

Nicolás spins Leonardo in a calesita (weight on right foot, left leg extended), but with him effectively squatting so his left leg is straight out. Nicolás is walking backward around Leonardo to create the effect. Germán jumps over Leonardo’s leg when it nears him, as if it were a jump rope.

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.

Two people dance with a glowing pride flag in the background. The back of a short-haired person in dark blue faces the camera. That person is following. Across their back, we see the leader’s arm, and over their shoulder, the curly-haired leader’s face.
