About Esquina Tango

Seeking to share our love for dance and culture, Esquina Tango is a non-profit organization and cultural center established in 2006 that strives to provide the Austin community with a unique dance experience as well as cultural awareness of Latin American countries. Through a lot of hard work, labor, and community love, we converted an old church building that was located in East Austin and practically falling apart into a tango studio. We intentionally chose East Austin because it is one of the most culturally rich and diverse neighborhoods of Austin, in addition to keeping accessibility easy for the underserved to have the opportunity to join our community.

We also wanted to create a unique experience for everyone walking in through our doors and so the vibrant colorful exterior of our building (which resembles Argentina’s “La Boca” neighborhood) our interior decor, and friendly environment set the scene for our exploits. Although initially, we were only a tango studio, with time, our interests and passions led it to become the cultural center that it is today, hosting a variety of community events focused on Argentine and other Latin American cultures, offering Spanish and Portuguese language classes, and providing a unique variety of Latin dance classes such as Tango, Samba, and Salsa Aerobics.
Esquina believes that dance provides health and mental wellbeing and as such provides Free programs to the community such as: Dance for Parkinson, First Responders, Seniors, Children, and the LGBT community!

Esquina Tango works hard to support both local musicians as well as bring international acts. Support Esquina so it can continue to positively change the lives of people through music, dance and culture.
