Allyship part 2

Sometimes non-queer people come to queer spaces because they feel safer. They should work on fixing the non-queer spaces!

On invitation:

Pros:
- works in loud spaces
- polite decline
- softer rejection

Cons:
- bad vision
- other dances don’t
- eye contact problems

Ideas:
- ask
- have a “interested in dancing this tanda” section

Photo of 3 papers on the wall. First says “framing questions” as its title and then “1. What works and what do we like? 2. What doesn’t work? 3. What do we want to see? 4. How would we write this as a código? 5. Does your código respect cultural heritage and queer experience?” The second is titled “queering códigos” and says “1. Invitation 2. Technique and safety 3. Milonga structure 4. Allyship 5. Community building.” The third is title “agenda” and has “1 welcome opening remarks and drop-in moment. 2. General discussion: what does queering códigos mean and what códigos did you learn? 3. Group chats 4. Insights and next steps 5. Closing”

We are now moving to group chats. Here’s the agenda and the topics.

Ray: “my first few years of tango, 1993–1997, Augusto hadn’t done his milonga yet, so nobody was gay. I mean, everybody was gay, but nobody was gay.”

Next is how, in late 19th century and early 20th century Buenos Aires, there were a lot of immigrants with no shared language, and some of the códigos provided a way to do nonverbal consent.

Now we’re talking about negative sides of the códigos we’ve experienced.

“Your clothes/shoes determine your role.”

Many of the women have the “if we go to straight milongas, the men snub us because we also lead” problem.

Just heard that the place in Buenos Aires that has a ban on same-gender dancing literally carved in stone is FINALLY changing.
