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.

Learning tango is like learning a new language. And, before we begin to be fluent in a language we must learn its foundations, it basic words, pronunciation and learn to make basic sentences. And, then we can be ready to tell a story. We are creating a comprehensive course structure that will enable passionate learners to reach the heights of personal artistic excellence with this dance, and feel that feeling of Flow.
