Tango has long been associated with machismo. Yet in recent years, feminism and the LGBTQIA+ movement have been reshaping tango, opening it up to new forms of expression and inclusion. The solemn charm of traditional tango now intertwines with androgynous bodies, and a new freedom emerges—creative, technical, but above all emotional, embracing the diversity and plurality of gender identities.
