Experience a warm and intimate winter weekend at the first queer tango marathon in North America! Come dance, make friends and participate in playful workshops and discussions with our guests artists from Mexico, and Madrid. Enjoy nutritious vegan and vegetarian meals prepared lovingly by our Brooklyn based-Tunisian born chef. What to expect: An intimate tango space that centers queer identified dancers regardless of dance level or experience. We have a very limited capacity and priority will be given to queer dancers. Milongas, meals and refreshments are in the main space on the ground floor. You can purchase alcoholic drinks from a cash bar or specialty coffee from the cafe barista. A filtered water cooler is available on the second floor so bring your water bottles. Discussions and workshops are on the second floor studio space. Outside of scheduled programming, the studio is available for lounging, socializing, getting a massage or checking out the clothing and shoe swap. Bring your lightly used items that are in good condition for swapping. Vegan and vegetarian meals are included from Friday night to Sunday evening. Snacks and refreshments between meals, ie; juices, hot water for tea and drip coffee will also be provided. As part of a co-operative effort in building community and friendship, we ask that all dancers participate by volunteering on a simple task for a maximum of 30mins. A task may include greeting dancers at the entrance, collecting trash, sweeping floor, organizing the clothing swap corner etc,. For our more seasoned festival and marathon queer dancers, you can volunteer by being a “Guide” to our new comers in queer tango or to New York City.
