Beginner Lesson
Basics of lead & follow roles, posture, connection, balance, breathing, practice-hold, embrace, tango walk, basic tango rhythm, rock-step, line-of-dance and rotation.
Intermediate Lesson
Tango walk in the parallel and cross system. More on axis, balance, isolation, and the energy centers in our body aiding tango movements.
Flow concept: Amor Fati
While going over the basics, we will look at, Amor Fati, or "love of one's fate", an attitude associated with Friedrich Nietzsche, and explore its relation to dance.
Karn Verma
I have previously taught at Bechtel International Center at Stanford, Friday Night Waltz, and Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto. I dance over a dozen dances, and have been dancing tango since 2015. In 2017, I traveled to Buenos Aires to study Argentine tango intensely. More about me here: www.feelingflow.org/instructor
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!
Best Tango intro series one can attend to kickstart your journey, highly capable (posture, moves), organized(right progression) and empathic teacher in Karn, Nice dance floor near Mountain View, CA. Try a drop-in or just dive into full series. Made my 2022
Karn is a very capable teacher and a great dancer. I learned a lot from him and would highly recommend his beginner tango classes.
My husband and I took this class with Karn, and we highly recommend him as an excellent teacher. Karn insists on the steps’ technicality as much as the flow, connection, acceptance of our mistakes, and enjoyment of the moment. So we felt very comfortable asking questions, etc. We will continue taking his classes in the future.
