SFist Tonight

DANCE: As part of the International Queer Tango Festival going on all weekend, the documentary Tango with a Twist interweaves stories about a group of amateur dancers -- gay, straight and "fluid," who embark on a journey of discovery to the birthplace of tango, Buenos Aires, Argentina, under the protective wing of their Sydney tango teacher, Anne-Maree Therkleson. Then there will be a dinner show at Peña Pachamama, featuring performances by Christy Cote and Darren Lees, Count Glover and Chelsea Eng, plus Christy dancing with Chelsea, with live music by Odile Lavault, bandoneon, and Marco Casasola, piano.
