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.
ย
Please note:
โข Ongoing batch sessions are available only for Tango, not Bachata
โข We do not offer trials for single male participants

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?
Yes, you may join alone, but you must join the waitlist early. Spot offers are subject to availability and role balance. This is a first-come, first-considered process, not a guarantee.
ย
Partner Policy:
We do not provide or assign partners. It is your responsibility to engage and find practice partners during class. To ensure your spot, we recommend registering with a partner and taking full ownership of your participation.
ย
Our Approach to Roles:
At Bangalore Tango Academy, we teach both roles, leading and following, 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 doesnโt resonate with you, or if you prefer training solely with your partner, we recommend booking a private session instead, as our philosophy may not be the right fit.
ย
Is pre-registration required?
Absolutely. We do not accommodate walk-ins or on-the-spot registrations. Partner dance requires advance planning and balanced batches, which means participant numbers must be confirmed early.
ย
Waitlist Protocol for Solo Registrants:
Singles must waitlist and respond promptly if offered a spot. Missing the response window will result in removal from the waitlist and the spot being passed on.
Last-minute sign-ups donโt work. Early registration is essential to form a balanced batch.
ย
Recommended Timelines:
โข 2-3 weeks in advance for regular batches
โข 10-12 days before for workshops
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 open a new Tango batch every 2 months and a Bachata batch every month, depending on participant numbers. Batches run only when minimum registrations are met.
Can I join a batch after it has started?
Yes, you can!
Registrations remain open through the first two classes for Tango and the first class for Bachata. 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?
We do not offer refunds, extensions, or compensation for missed classes. 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.
- Peer Support: Senior dancers are always available to help you catch up.
- Upgrade Path: After completing your beginner course, consider the 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 more than three classes, we recommend booking a one-on-one session to consolidate your learning.
ย
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.
* subject to availability and depending on gender ratio.
ย
Your Tango subscription includes generous bonuses:
- Access to Tango Improvers classes
- Access to regular beginner Tango workshops
These are 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.
ย
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.

Does learning several styles simultaneously lead to confusion?
For a truly holistic learning experience, a strong foundation in partner dancing is non-negotiable.
The foundational base is shared across all partner dance styles.
Even if you have previously attended classes or workshops in some of these styles, we recommend beginning with this course. Our instructorโs unique and innovative teaching method simplifies learning recurring steps, ensuring fast and effective mastery in one go.
ย
Worried about juggling multiple styles? You donโt need to be.
These styles donโt compete, they complement. A technique that feels elusive in one form often clicks when approached through another. There is significant overlap in movement vocabulary, with rich cross-pollination across genres.
While each style applies movement differently depending on rhythm and musicality, they collectively build body awareness, alignment, and musical sensitivity. This integrated approach makes beats and rhythms more intuitive and accessible.
ย
This 3-month course lays the groundwork for specialization.
Once completed, you will be ready to join improver-level classes focused on individual styles.
ย
We recommend starting with Tango.
It offers unmatched clarity, structure, and grounding that benefits all other forms.
