Live music: Brisa Videla & Ana Stamponi
This tango duo presents state-of-the-art milongas, tangos and valses that exhibit a distinct transfeminist aesthetic combined with the danceable, traditional sound of Argentine tango music. Their lyrics reflect many of the challenges of our time, such as the struggle for women’s rights and other gender identities, and the memory of the victims of the last Argentine civil-military dictatorship. Listen to them on Spotify.

DJ: Jessica Carleson (Stockholm)
Jessica plays regularly at milongas in Stockholm and has been traveling international festivals and marathons for years. Additionally, she co-organizes the Stockholm queer and double role tango marathon “Alma de Bohemia”. About herself: I always look for music that has energy, warmth and drive, that relentlessly pushes you to the pista. It is a true priviledge to serve you this mix of joy, quiet reflection, passion, fervour, and drama that is tango.

Class: Gökce Ceren Haznedar & Maria August
Gökce is from Istanbul and has been living, teaching and djing in Berlin since 2018. She is developing a way of tango called tango Spontan, based on constant change of roles in flow without changing the embrace and connecting in freedom with respect and consent.
Maria is based in Berlin, where she co-organizes and djs at the milongas El Contrapunto & La Luna Improvisada, as well as the Contrapunto Marathon. Her tango journey started in a self-organized group, where everyone learned both roles. In her teaching, she carries on this spirit of mutual respect and freedom to be ourselves.
