Since beginning their dance partnership just two years ago, Andrés
Amarilla and Meredith Klein have emerged
as a growing force in nuevo tango. In cities from Istanbul to Belo
Horizonte (Brazil) and Santa Barbara,
Andres and Meredith have left students marveling at their ability to
make accessible, logical and natural concepts
and movements that had previously seemed challenging and confusing.
Blessed with an uncommon ability to probe,
understand, analyze and convey the intricacies of tango, Andrés &
Meredith offer beginners and experienced dancers
alike a fresh and profound slant on the fundamental principles,
essential techniques, and core relationships that anchor
and propel each form of the dance – including traditional social tango
and progressive nuevo tango.

Andrés Amarilla has been studying and performing for the past twenty
years with some of the finest tango dancers in the
world --including Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes and Rodolfo
Dinzel.  As a teenager and young adult, he was among
the small group of highly elite dancers --including Gustavo again,
Chicho Frumboli, Mauricio Castro, and others -- who
attended the renowned weekly practicas and "tango investigations"
organized by Fabián Salas.
