A year ago the Mr and I had a blether about dancing. More specifically, about how we've always wanted to tango - think Morticia and Gomez in the Adams Family.
By happy coincidence, within a few weeks of that conversation, a friend announced his intention to start running a tango class. We were immediately up for this.
Queer tango is all about dancing tango the way it was originally intended - it's a very social dance where the heteronormative male/female partnership pretty much goes out the window. Everyone dances with everyone. And no-one cares if it's man/man, woman /woman or man/woman.
John, who instructs the class is great. Very positive and encouraging. He demonstrates the moves before we replicate, but very much promotes the idea that we make up our own dances, reinforcing the improvised nature of tango.
I love the class, it's great fun, and super value for money. Currently £30 for 4 lessons - students get a discount.
Anyone who fancies it, we'll see you there :-D read more
