Edgewood Arts Center is one of 2 buildings operated by Dance Place. Rooted in the United States capital, Washington D.C., Dance Place supports movement artists by creating opportunities for creative development, performance, and education. By investing deeply in artists and centering those who have been systemically excluded from such opportunities, we strengthen the dance field.
La Nuestra Tango seek to create queer-centered and inclusive tango spaces. We offer scholarships to help keep our events accessible, especially for folks who cannot otherwise afford to attend.
When allocating scholarships, we look at intersectional factors that increase a dancer’s need and reduce their access to events. This year we are giving out scholarships to those with less than 3 years of dance experience. We encourage anyone who wishes to attend but is concerned about affordability to apply for a scholarship.
Scholarships are funded by La Nuestra Tango's sustaining donor, Tim Evans, and by community support. At the low end of the sliding scale, a person is paying solely for themself; higher payments on the sliding scale add to our pool of scholarship funds. The number of scholarships we are able to offer each year depends on this pool of funds.

We want to acknowledge that our gatherings exist on the ancestral lands of the Lenape People. We believe truth and acknowledgement are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference..
