THE TANGO SOCIETY OF BOSTON
The Tango Society of Boston
Founded in 1997
Celebrating 27 years of bringing the best of Argentine Tango to the Boston and surrounding communities
The Tango Society of Boston was established by 2 local Tangueros: Sharukh Merchant and Anne Atheling. They were ballroom dancers but saw that the community needed a place where they could dance Argentine Tango. This is when the Tango Society of Boston was born.
Anne Atheling had the first vision of bringing a "Tango Festival" to the community many years ago. She brought dancers/performers and other activities to different community organizations, private businesses, etc.
She was worked extremely hard to make sure Tango was well exposed it the Boston community.
