Argentine tango

Tango was born in Buenos Aires in the late 19th century, and then it spread overseas. Today, it is danced in towns and cities all over the world

Movements

Fiery and elegant, tango movements have a lot to teach about form and emotion. Over a hundred figures recognized all over the world

Music

Born in a cultural melting pot as an intersection of African, European, Uruguayan and Cuban elements, tango music has universal appeal. Modern tango music is ever evolving

Community

Tango attracts people from all walks of life. A wide spectrum of vocations from scientists to artists can be seen dancing at a Milonga (social gathering for Tango). SF Bay Area hosts dozens of Milongas

Karn Verma

Karn, began dancing at age 7, inspired by Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, later expanding to Salsa, Bachata, and over a dozen dance forms.

He’s also been inspired by U.S. Argentine tango pioneer Richard Powers at Stanford, enriching his knowledge. A seasoned performer and teacher, Karn integrates meditation into his teaching philosophy, focusing on authenticity and understanding. Through his school Feeling Flow, he promotes dance as a path to self-discovery and growth.

Testimonials

Last night, I sang your praises to Scott Gamble. In the 12 years I've been taking classes at FNW, you're the best instructor we have had in Argentine tango. It is a daunting, difficult, stylized dance, but you made it easy and fun to learn. In just two hours, you deftly and with appropriate pacing broke down the elements and showed us how to combine them into the basic steps. And voila we could dance!

Elizabeth Tsai (Gigi) - Dancer

Karn's approach to tango is deeply centered on fostering a connection and fluidity between partners, rather than flashy steps. He prioritizes the essence of tango dancing, emphasising connection above all else. If you resonate with this philosophy, Karn is the perfect instructor for you. Karn truly grasps the paramount importance of live music in his unwavering pursuit of preserving and teaching the tango culture. He stands as one of its foremost ambassadors in the Bay Area.
