The Tango Society of Boston was incorporated in June 1997 as a Massachusetts non-profit organization dedicated to the support and growth of the Argentine Tango. Within 5 months, it already had 250 members, and the numbers are growing weekly! While there are many facets to the Argentine Tango—the music and the culture being among the most prominent—it is the dance that brings most of us together. The Tango is a social and participant’s dance and is for everyone to learn and enjoy, regardless of dance background!

Our membership has people from all walks of life, and has probably 20 or more countries represented!!

The Tango Society of Boston has been presenting events for the past 26 years.

We will continue to bring the best of Argentine Tango to our community to enjoy. Some of these events have live music, performances and guest DJs.

Our numerous activities fall into two broad categories:

Planning Tango events:

Weekly Wednesday evening Tango dances at 16 Bow St, Union Sq, Somerville open to all, with two 1-hour lesson at the beginning.
Weekend Tango seminars several times a year with the best Tango teachers in the world.
Milongas (Tango dance socials), some with live music.
Special and unusual Tango events such as outdoor “Tango by Moonlight” nights in summer.
Our Annual Boston Tango Festival in June.

Supporting the growth of the Tango community:

Support local Tango organizers, musicians, etc., through our events, affiliations, and publicity and information channels.
Outreach efforts via newspaper, radio and TV publicity.
Joint events with other local and regional art and cultural institutions, both commercial and non-profit (e.g., Museum of Fine Arts, First Night Boston, movie houses showing Tango-related films, Tango festivals, etc.).

We are celebrating our 26th year of bringing the best of Argentine Tango to the community! We hope you enjoy our events and thank you for your continued support.
