El Contrapunto – Queer & Open Role Tango Marathon Berlin

16-18 May, 2025

About | Registration | Venue | DJs

A weekend where embraces matter and stereotypes are optional.

Berlin has a flourishing queer & open role tango scene, including the milongas Atípica, MilongAMIGÅ, Tango zum Glück, Weibermilonga and the annual Queertango Festival. It also harbors a diverse tango scene in general, with 2 to 9 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.

Thanks so much to everyone who made our premiere in 2024 such a sparkling feast of embraces. Save the date for the next time!
