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!
