Hi, I am Katerine Ricardo, and I teach Argentine Tango. I recently moved to the LA area from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the Tango Queer community was my home. Now that I am here, my mission is to bring together the Tango Queer Community in LA through weekly classes, workshops, and monthly practicas. My events are an inclusive and open space where we all can dance with each other, no matter wha

I invite you to get out of your head and into your feet 💃🏻

Joining the many subversive tangueras/os that came before us.

Milonga has Afro-Cuban roots and was initially a call to action.


📖 Story Time for my fellow tango nerds🤓
In the year 1630, Portuguese officials on the coast of Angola were complaining to that Queen Nzinga, an indigenous leader, was sending out messages - milonga - to persuade local populations to join her (we love an organizing queen!). Queen Nzinga was also issuing subtle challenges to Portuguese authority. These taunts too were milonga. So, in seventeenth century Angola the term meant “words, speech, or argument.” But is also referred to inciting people, talking back to authority, and verbal rebellion.

So the goal is not to incite rebellion, but being q***r, being part of community and dancing the Milonga has always been an act of resistance.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, unsure of trying a new thing, or overwhelmed - bring it to the dancefloor and let the music transform you.

Please note: many members of our community are still observing COVID-masking protocol, to be good dancing partners to them we will have some disposable masks for distribution just in case.

We live for these moments. The hard work in the studio pays off when we get to share our love of dance with each other and our students. There's nothing like a community that lifts you up.
