Where can one find a dance instructor in Boston who teaches ballroom (aka Scent of a Woman) style tango as opposed to Argentinian?

You're looking for American Style, or Social, Tango. Go to MASSABDA.org (Massachusetts Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association) and click on resources.
The studio I go to is in Waltham, it's called Supershag at Supershag.com.
I'd avoid the franchise studios a.k.a. Arthur Murray and Fred Astaire unless you have money to throw away. Their studios are just marketing schemes to get you to buy lessons. Sure, you'll learn to dance but why spend more than you have to. Plus, don't you want to learn from someone who actually has dance training rather than just having taken a 6 week course?
Avoid Independance out of Brighton,or at least, don't give him a lot of your money up front as he has a tendency to cash your check and not return your calls.
