Description: Second IdeaChat in my new interview series. I talk to Helen La Vikinga, an Icelandic tango dancer who lives in Buenos Aires and leads and follows with equal grace. Helen teaches at Queer Tango festivals worldwide. We explore what's behind the queer tango phenomenon for straight dancers--queer tango could equally be called open-roles tango.
