After teaching in nine cities in nine weeks, Andres & Meredith are going "home" to Providence Tango, one of the absolute nicest places to dance tango in the US. (Well, I'm not exactly unbiased!) Ellen's dinner buffet & desserts are unequaled and the community is one of the friendliest there is. With Robin Thomas DJing and the Tango Jam before the milonga, it's not to be missed.

Fascinated, he begged his mother to find him a tango teacher. After dancing for a year, he was recruited by Gustavo Naveira, with whom he studied and in whose company he performed for 3 years. He went on to study & perform with two more tango icons—Juan Carlos Copes & Rodolpho Dinzel--all before the age of 18. In the 1990s, Andres participated in weekly rehearsals organized by Fabian Salas. In these rehearsals, the group created most of the steps of "nuevo tango." Although he is best known in Buenos Aires for teaching and performing nuevo tango, Andres' dancing is firmly grounded in traditional tango technique and his teaching is applicable to afficionados of all tango styles. Andres has performed over 60 times at milongas in Buenos Aires and has choreographed 3 full-length shows. In addition to offering classes in BA for the past 9 years, he taught for one year in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is his first trip to the US. Meredith Klein Meredith began dancing tango in Massachusetts in 1999. Early in 2005, she decided to leave her career as a Development Consultant for nonprofits and move to Buenos Aires to devote herself to tango. Meredith & Andres have been working together since April 2005. For more info on Andres & Meredith, see http://andresamarilla.com
