La Huella — the footprint, the trace, the mark left behind by those who lived the culture of tango before us and were never given their place in history. This weekend we follow their steps.Transcend Tango invites you into a two-day celebration of tango's hidden histories, living culture, and moving bodies. This is a queer centered event but allies are welcomed!

What awaits you:
Saturday 10/3:
3pm-5pm: Book Reading & Conversation — The Gods of Tango
Join us for an intimate reading with queer Uruguayan author Caro De Robertis, whose celebrated novel navigates gender identity and queer sexuality in the rich landscape of 1910's Buenos Aires. A story of identity, survival, passion, and belonging — followed by a Q&A. Read more about The Gods of Tango here: https://caroderobertis.com/books/the-gods-of-tango/
5pm-6pm Coffee/Tea break with yummy snacks and music
6pm-7.30pm: Tango Orchestras Workshop by LA FABULOSA MADELEINE
Dive deep into the music that makes tango breathe. This workshop explores the history, sound, and soul of tango orchestras — from the golden age to today — giving dancers and music lovers alike a richer understanding of what moves us. How can we as queer tango dancers enjoy tango music as deeply as possible?
