The central idea of this article is that bodily practices like queer tango contribute positively to societal change by facilitating the development of a more plurally oriented society. The argument rests primarily on queer tango’s inherent potential as a dialogic body practice. Along with what the practice implies in terms of subverting gender traditions and expanding freedom within the community, the case is made that it has an impact as well on the body schema. The body schema, understood as the individual’s initial, initiating point of action, is of course shaped by society and the individual’s history, but it is also open to change with every new experience. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed, Eve K. Sedgwick, Steffen Kitty Herrmann and Hans Joas, the article discusses queer tango as a practice that is multiple in orientation, intrinsically reparative, transgressive and significantly creative – a set of qualities that support change insofar as participants in the practice broaden their qualitative experiences and encounter others at once both bodily and dialogically.
