Founded in 2006 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Esquina Tango converted an old church building in East Austin into a tango studio, with a vibrant exterior inspired by Buenos Aires' La Boca neighborhood. Initially an Argentine Tango studio, it expanded into a cultural center offering a wide range of Latin dance and language classes. The 20-year anniversary fundraiser is scheduled for October 17 of the upcoming year.
