Who are Andres & Meredith?

In 1987, when he was 11 years old, Andres saw Juan Carlos Copes
dancing tango on TV.  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 was part of a small
group of dancers whose investigations led to the creation 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 began dancing tango in Massachusetts in 1999.
Early in 2005, she decided to leave her career as a Development
onconsultantor nonprofits and move to Buenos Aires to devote
herself to tango.  Meredith & Andres have been working together
since April 2005.
