Important Update for 2026 Admissions
Starting next year, our academy will open enrolment exclusively to Couples and Female participants.
This decision has not been made lightly.
The ongoing effort required to maintain a healthy lead-follow ratio, combined with repeated patterns of non-responsiveness, entitled behaviour, and last-minute disengagement from single male applicants has made it unsustainable to continue as before.
Single men may still apply, but the responsibility of finding a committed dance partner now rests entirely with you. We hope this shift encourages greater accountability and respect for the process.
* Single men who have already added their details to the waiting list will be considered separately.
Thank you for understanding.
What is the registration process?
What are all the dance forms you teach?
We are a dedicated Tango Dance Academy, with Tango at the heart of our practice and pedagogy.
For those curious about other Latin styles, we offer beginner-level courses and occasional workshops in Dominican Bachata, Jive, and Merengue. These are designed to introduce foundational movement and musicality, not as substitutes for Tango but as complementary explorations.
What is Tango?
Tango is a dance of connection and improvisation, where partners move in harmony to create a unique story with every embrace.
Originating in Buenos Aires, it blends cultural influences with deep emotional expression. With no fixed patterns, it is a conversation of movement, guided by music and mutual understanding – a true dance of the heart.
Can I attend a trial class before enrolling?
We donโt offer trial classes. We offer transformation, for those ready to commit.
You are welcome to join one of our paid introductory Tango workshops before the new batch begins, or register for a session in our ongoing batch to experience the depth and clarity of our training firsthand.
If youโre unsure, wait. If youโre ready, welcome.
Please note:ย Ongoing batch sessions are available only for Tango, not Bachata.

Details about upcoming classes can be found here.
Do I require prior experience in dancing?
Not at all! Most of our students start with no prior dance experience, so there is no need to worry.
Our instructorโs innovative teaching methods make learning smooth and enjoyable. You can confidently start from scratch with our well-structured, beginner-friendly classes.
I don't have a dance partner. Is it possible to join alone?
Single female participants may apply individually.
Single male applicants may apply only if they already have a committed dance partner. We do not offer partner matching or waitlist-based placement. To secure your spot, register with a partner and take full ownership of your participation.
Our Role Philosophy:
At Bangalore Tango Academy, we teach both roles (lead and follow) regardless of gender. All participants are expected to rotate partners and engage with the full group.
Group classes rely on shared participation. Dancing exclusively with one partner is not viable and disrupts the learning environment.
If this approach does not resonate with you, or if you prefer training solely with your partner, we recommend booking a private session instead.
Is pre-registration required?
Yes. We do not accommodate walk-ins or last-minute registrations. Partner dance requires advance planning and balanced batches, which means participant numbers must be confirmed early.
ย
For Beginner Batches
To reserve your spot, pay a non-refundable booking fee of โน650 per participant. If your spot is confirmed, you will be notified via WhatsApp 15 days before the batch begins. You will have 48 hours to complete the registration by paying the remaining balance. If you miss this window, your booking fee will be forfeited and the spot will be passed on.
If your spot is not confirmed, you may either wait for the next batch or request a refund of your booking fee. Unnecessarily blocking a spot may result in blacklisting from future registrations.
Make sure you provide the correct WhatsApp number and check your messages. We are not responsible for missed notifications or delays in response.
ย
For Workshops
Workshops must be paid in full at the time of registration. Registration remains open until spots are filled. Most workshops fill up 10 to 12 days in advance, so register early to secure your place.
Is there an age limit?
No. The is no age limit.
What do I wear to class?
No specific dance wear or shoes are required to start these classes.
Simply wear comfortable clothes. Any smooth-soled, narrow shoes, socks, or even jazz shoes will work perfectly.
If you prefer wearing shoes during the session, please ensure they are clean and change into them after arriving at the studio.
Location of the class?
Koramangala: Studio is near Koramangala Club
Indiranagar: Studio is nearย BSNL office
Jayanagar: Studio is near 5th block
ย
The exact class location will be shared with registered participants via WhatsApp one day prior to the session.
We have chosen not to disclose the venue publicly in advance due to repeated incidents of unregistered walk-ins, which have disrupted class dynamics and compromised participant experience. This boundary is essential to protect the safety, privacy, and integrity of our academy.
If you are assessing commute feasibility, we have provided a nearby landmark to help you gauge distance.
How frequently do batches start?
We start new batch registrations every 3 months. Each batch is capped at 12 participants to ensure quality.
If you book early, you are more likely to get a spot. If the batch fills up, you will need to wait for the next cycle.
Can I join a batch after it has started?
In rare cases, yes. This is only possible if the capped number of 12 participants has not been reached.
Joining is allowed through the first two classes. If you miss the initial sessions, we will support you in catching up, provided you commit to consistent attendance from that point onward.
What if I miss a class?
Batch sessions are planned around major holidays like Diwali, Christmas, and New Year. You will not miss classes due to these breaks, so there is no need to worry.
ย
If you miss a class for any reason, we do not offer refunds, extensions, or compensation. However, committed students have several ways to stay on track:
- Quick Recap: You may review the previous classโs content at the start of your next session.
- Alternate Venue Option: Attend one class at another venue during your subscription period, subject to availability and only if sessions are running at other venues during that time.
- Peer Support: Senior dancers are always available to help you catch up.
- Upgrade Path: After completing your beginner course, consider theย Improvers Subscription. It allows you to revisit beginner classes while attending improvers sessions, ideal for revision and reinforcement.
- One-on-One Review: If you miss 3 or more classes, we recommend booking a one-on-one session to consolidate your learning.
At Bangalore Tango Academy, itโs not about counting hours, itโs about absorbing content.
In fact, most students end up attending far more hours than their fee technically covers. Our curriculum is designed with non-linear, non-connected content, which means every class offers standalone value. We encourage you to attend as many sessions as your subscription allows, across venues and levels, to accelerate your learning and deepen your understanding.
ย
Your Tango subscription includes generous bonuses:
- Access to Tango Improvers classes
- Access to regular beginner Tango workshops
These areย added privileges, not entitlements. Your fee grants access only to the subscription you have chosen.
We go above and beyond for students who show commitment and consistency.
As an academy, not a transactional service. our policies are designed to uphold that distinction. Missed classes are not grounds for negotiation or compensation.
ย
Note on Bachata: Some of the above options may not apply to Bachata. We currently run a single-level format and may not offer parallel batches or multiple venues for Bachata classes.
Read the terms and conditions carefully before registering.
Will I get a certificate at the end of batch?
In the world of Tango, mastery is not measured by certificates but by the ability to connect with one’s partner and the music.
The essence of tango cannot be encapsulated by a certificate or a piece of paper.
What are all the programs you offer?
Hereโs a brief overview of what you offer:
- In-Studio Classes: Learn tango in a traditional classroom setting.
- Online Classes: Convenient learning from home.
- Private Lessons: Personalized instruction for focused learning.
- Corporate Classes: Engage employees and promote team-building.
- Choreography: Custom routines for performances and events.
- Wedding dance lessons: Make your first dance a magical moment via personalized private lesson packages.
- โThe Consent Conversationโย โ A Tango-Inspired Workshop on Inclusion & Connection:ย A transformative workshop using Argentine Tango to engage with inclusion, boundaries, and embodied consent โ delivered in a fully interactive format.
Accepted mode of payment for registration?
We only accept UPI payments.
Does learning several partner styles simultaneously lead to confusion?
Not at all. In fact, it deepens your understanding.
Partner dancing relies on a shared foundational base, which applies across all styles.
These forms do not compete. They complement each other. A technique that feels elusive in one style often clicks when approached through another. There is significant overlap in movement vocabulary, with rich cross-pollination across genres.
Each style interprets movement differently depending on rhythm and musicality, but together they build body awareness, alignment, and musical sensitivity. This integrated approach makes beats and rhythms more intuitive and accessible.
Our instructorโs teaching method simplifies recurring steps across styles, ensuring fast and effective learning.
If you prefer to begin with one form, we recommend starting with Tango. It offers unmatched clarity, structure, and grounding that benefits all other styles.
