Most people give it 30 days; the honest range is 14 to 180, and how far you take it is largely up to you. There is no certificate at the end. You come away with the skill itself. Expect it to be milongas, nightlife, cheap privates.

Around $900 – $2,000 for the whole thing, about $48 a day, or ₹0.9L – ₹1.9L in rupees. That covers 1-month intensive, privates + group classes + shared flat. Flights and visas never are, and this is a researched estimate, not a quote. Range built from typical 2026 market rates. Verify before you book.
