09.05.2025 Tango night at Friday Night Waltz with Karn

Karn Verma

Karn Verma is a passionate dance instructor specializing in Argentine tango and Cross Step Waltz. His journey began at the age of seven, inspired by Michael Jackson, and later expanded during his studies at Stanford University, where he explored various social dances with Richard Powers' classes. After performing Salsa and Bachata with a Los Angeles-based company, he discovered Argentine tango in 2015, deepening his expertise with training in Buenos Aires and Rome under Pablo Veron. Karn has taught at Stanford's Bechtel International Center, Friday Night Waltz in Palo Alto, Jikoji Zen Center, and the Oshman Family JCC.

In 2022, Karn founded Feeling Flow, a dance school dedicated to fostering connection and mindfulness through movement. His teaching integrates meditation, focusing on authenticity, flow, and musicality. With a strong emphasis on community building, he has introduced innovative events like live music milongas and structured tango series featuring experienced local instructors. Beyond dance, Karn is also involved in technology and healthcare innovation while practicing Zen and hosting Japanese tea ceremonies.
