Jill S. sent me an invite to this: Queer Milonga, a night of Classic and Nuevo Tango dedicated to the Queer Community and Allies which kicks off its inaugural night on Saturday, April 10th at 8pm in the West Hall across from Century Ballroom upstairs in the Oddfellows Building on Capitol Hill. Beginner’s lessons begin at 8pm with instructors Michelle Badion and Alison Cockrill followed by the dance at 9pm. It’s $15 for the lesson and dance and only $7 for the dance itself. And, dressing up is highly encouraged. Future Milongas are planned for May 1st, June 12th and August 24th. I found this very sessy image of two hot men doing the tango but I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going to be more popular with the ladies than with the gents, but here’s hoping for some man on man tango love!
