Great people and music are the key ingredients.Simbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736093265706402673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-9085435709119690302010-07-16T22:32:58.468+01:002010-07-16T22:32:58.468+01:00About time... or as we say in spanish:

There are lots of people who don't want to do it themselves, which is fine by me, but I don't think it would cross anyone's mind to stop other people doing it.<br /><br />But for the reasons you and UnaMilonguera both give, I'm very much more attracted by the idea of dancing in Buenos Aires with the knowledge that this is available, than I would be without it. And I'm also really interested to hear about the layout and organisation and quality of dance in these milongas, and how they go about achieving a nice milonga, because I think we could learn a lot from this about what the essential ingredients really are.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-23814893099790772772010-07-16T21:28:13.969+01:002010-07-16T21:28:13.969+01:00Yes, it seems to be a local festival.

My impression from the post, which mentions both and gives their addresses, was that the "Queer Tango" one is the same principle as La Marshall.<br /><br />I clicked about in the site and I just couldn't find that particular bit, but it was late at night and I didn't have much time so suspected I was just being blind.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-9678680515966407992010-07-16T12:49:03.217+01:002010-07-16T12:49:03.217+01:00Oh - just followed the link in your post and found...Oh - just followed the link in your post and found the "IV Buenos Aires International Queer Tango Festival 2010". So the reference wasn't to the International Queer Tango Festival 2010 that just happened in SF. So what text couldn't you find? Seems all there!TEECnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-14484943245996626112010-07-16T11:46:00.097+01:002010-07-16T11:46:00.097+01:00Couldn't agree more.

It's exactly as described by the person you're quoting- it's a gay-friendly milonga, where everyone is welcome, role-changing is encouraged and they are also plenty of couples dancing the traditional way round too. As a non-gay I feel very comfortable there and the atmosphere is like a breath of fresh air after going to lots of trad milongas where old machisto men forbid women from dancing together. It's not a gay milonga in the sense that homosexuality is a qualification for entry. There's also a BsAs milonga called "QueerTango" which I've never been to but will try next time I go. I find the name a bit off-putting but maybe it's much the same as La Marshall.<br />The Festival Internacional de Tango Queer is probably the one in San Francisco that's just happened. One of my FBook friends (a teacher in SF) has been posting vids and photos from it:<br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/QueerTango-San-Francisco/178835319040<br />http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1300601687379&ref=mf<br />http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1298725920486&ref=mfTango en el Cielonoreply@blogger.com
