The image of a different festival, open on the world.
ALTER means « other » …
The alternative tango goes over conservatism who was present during the first 70 years of tango in « tango rio de la plata ». This tango is different in music, in dance and in social behaviours.
In our dance, leaving intentionally the strict rules of the classic tango allow us, and this by keeping tango as a matrix, to place our own way of dancing or to add movements from other types of dance including the « contact dance » in some parties (for more, clic here).
It allows us to discover other musics like: modern tango; neo-tango played by current orchestras. It is a way to hear electric or electronic sounds and even pop and soul music or any type of world music.
In fact, the question is not to wonder what is the authentic tango or its soul. The question is: « Does it work and is it fun? »
Moreover, the social alterity is an important theme that we try to develop by presenting a tango without distinctions based on genre or sexual orientations. In what we call Tango Queer, we do not necessarily want to talk about homosexual couples but more precisely to talk about couples in which both parts are not fixed.
