About Private Dance Lessons
What I Bring to a Private Lesson
Tango for me is not just steps, it’s a feeling. It’s like having a real conversation - sometimes quiet, sometimes intense. My private dance lessons are about finding your own groove, not copying someone else. If you’re searching for one-on-one tango coaching or want to really feel the dance, we’ll focus on what matters to you.
How We’ll Learn Together
- Every session is shaped by your pace, your level, and your goals
- I work with absolute beginners, folks looking to polish their moves, and couples wanting to connect on a deeper level
- We break it down: posture, coordination, the famous Tango walk, and all the small things that make the dance feel natural
- I encourage everyone to try both leading and following - it’s the best way to really get the hang of the partner connection
- We’ll touch on musicality, so you’re not just moving, but actually dancing to the music
Flexibility and Special Requests
- You can learn solo or with a partner
- Sessions are available online (across the world) or in-person in Bangalore - at your home, office, or a studio
- Need private wedding dance choreography? I love helping couples create something simple and memorable for their big day
- For those who want to go deep, I offer long-term mentorship too
Some House Rules
- Studio rentals or my travel are extra, if needed
- No cancellations, but rescheduling is possible once with advance notice
If you want private dance lessons that are honest, practical, and a bit meditative, I’d love to help you start your tango journey.

My Story
We’re Tango Academy, not your typical dance school. Started by Roopa Math, who ditched engineering for dance, we’re all about the real heart of Tango. Roopa trained in Buenos Aires, got hooked at her first Milonga, and now she’s back to build a Tango community here. Our classes aren’t about perfection – it’s about feeling the music, connecting, and finding your own groove. Come as you are, no fancy shoes needed.
My Work
Dance Classes & Events - Argentine Tango classes, beginner Bachata lessons, private sessions, wedding choreography, and regular Milonga social events.
TangoShastra Approach - We teach Tango using the TangoShastra method - a scientific, step-by-step guide to rhythm and technique.
No Experience Needed - Absolute beginners welcome! You don’t need a partner or dance background, just curiosity.
Lead & Follow for All - Everyone learns to lead and follow. It’s about partnership, not roles.
Private Lessons & Special Moments - Book 1-on-1 sessions or let us choreograph your wedding dance for a magical first moment.
