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.

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?
Yes, retaking Tango Foundations I strengthens your fundamentals, refines movement quality, and enhances your overall dance experience. It’s a fresh opportunity to deepen skills, connect with music, and, practice the flow state.
We highly recommend dance shoes or can you dance in socks. We request no street shoes on the dance floor
No. You can take one class or the entire series without rotation. However, we recommend rotation to maximize fun and learning.
