[Tango-A] NA-E: Weekly Tuesday Night Seminar in NYC with Andres Amarilla continues

[Meredith Klein]

Andres Amarilla's weekly seminar continues every Tuesday night in New
York City.  The class starts with solo exercises to improve technique,
balance and posture.  After that, we move on to working on key
colgada, volcada, cadena and sacada sequences.  We revisit these
sequences often, each week addressing more subtleties of technique.
In the second half of the class, we focus on a specific sequence,
concept or technique, analyzing how it fits into the larger structure
of tango, and looking in detail at the technique that is required to
execute it well.

Location: Collaborative Arts Project 21, 18 West 18th Street, between
5th & 6th Avenues (see http://andresamarilla.com/NYC.htm#map for a map)

Time: 8-9:30 pm

Cost: $30/class or $125 for 5-class card

ANDRES AMARILLA: BIO

A native of Buenos Aires, Andres began dancing tango over 20 years ago
at age 11. While still a child, he studied with and performed in the
dance companies of Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, and Rodolfo
Dinzel. At the age of 17, he partnered for a year with Geraldine Rojas
(click http://andresamarilla.com/video.htm#geraldine for video),
performing together in Buenos Aires milongas over 20 times. Later on,
Andres participated in the closed rehearsals organized by Fabian Salas
in which the new style of "nuevo tango" was essentially developed.

Andres began teaching tango in Buenos Aires in 1997, and spent 2 years
developing the tango community in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 2000-2001.
In 2006, he began partnering with Meredith Klein (now his wife).
Andres & Meredith launched their career together with a 6-month,
20-city tour in the US. In 2007, they returned to the US as well as
traveling to Europe to teach in four countries. Although they have
only been working together for 2 years, Andres and Meredith have
already taught over 2,000 students in more than 30 cities on 4
continents. In February 2008, Andres & Meredith moved to
Philadelphia, where they launched the Philadelphia Argentine Tango
School (http://philadelphiatangoschool.com) with classes for beginner
to advanced level tango dancers.

Although widely known as a dancer of "nuevo tango," Andres spent 10
years studying and dancing traditional tango before the "nuevo" style
was developed. He strongly believes that a foundation in traditional
tango is essential for anyone who wants to explore the movements and
methods of anaylsis associated with "nuevo tango." Through his
teaching, Andres strives to give students a sure grasp of the
fundamentals of tango, thus providing a strong foundation that will
support students in whatever style they choose to dance.

Since Meredith teaches in Philadelphia on Tuesday nights, Andres teaches
in NYC on his own. For more information about Andres,
