Feeling Flow: Hosted at a historic heritage house in Palo Alto, we are inspired to help people experience flow through dance, yoga, meditation, and related arts, and give them basic tools to translate this experience into other areas of life. Flow is a state of awareness where we are completely immersed in what is right in front of us. It is a highly satisfying state that facilitates well-being and growth. Art, in essence, is a form of self-discovery and a connection practice. It is said that the best way to know yourself is through the mirror of relating to others, and what better way to do this than through music and movement while having fun?
Karn Verma
Karn, founder of Feeling Flow, began dancing at age 7, inspired by Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, later expanding to Salsa, Bachata, and over a dozen dance forms. His passion for Argentine tango took root in 2015, deepened by learning with artists like Pablo Verón in Buenos Aires and Rome. 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.

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!
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.
