A weekend where embraces matter and stereotypes are optional.
Berlin has a flourishing queer & open role tango scene, including the milongas Atípica, MilongAMIGA, Tango zum Glück, Weibermilonga and the annual Queertango Festival. It also harbors a diverse tango scene in general, with 4 to 11 milongas every day of the week. We invite you here, to return or to arrive for the first time, and to share your tango with us.
El Contrapunto is a tango marathon for queer and open role dancers of varying levels of experience and diverse styles of dancing. We value a social, cheerful atmosphere as well as a respectful ronda.
Have a look at last time:

This happy dancer will take your pictures! If you’ve been to our followed our milonga and marathon, you are already familiar with the photos of Daniel Koile. He manages to capture the brightest smiles and the warmest embraces on the dancefloor. We are happy to have him on board again for the marathon – this time with his new camera!
