While still a child, he studied with and performed in the dance companies of three of the greatest tangueros of all time: Gustavo Naveira, Juan Carlos Copes, and Rodolfo Dinzel. After 10 years of intensive immersion in the music, culture and movement of traditional Argentine Tango, Andres became part of a small group of young people seeking to push the limits of the traditional art form. Together, they analyzed and codified the movements, sequences and rules of traditional tango and began to play with the “grammar” of the tango language, thereby developing uncounted new sequences of movements, and giving birth to a new means of teaching, dancing and thinking about tango. This way of analyzing tango has become the basis of most good tango pedagogy in the world today. A greatly sought-after teacher, Andres has taught in more than 70 cities worldwide, including Istanbul, Beirut, Warsaw, Gdansk, Moscow, Sydney, Brisbane, Belo Horizonte, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Vancouver, Montreal, and New York, among many others. In 2008, Andres and his dance partner, Meredith Klein, founded the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School. Until Covid-19, Andres was splitting his year between Philadelphia and traveling to teach in other parts of the world. https://andresamarilla.com/ https://www.philadelphiatangoschool.com/andres Meredith Klein has been dancing tango for 27 years, including three years spent living in Buenos Aires. Meredith directs the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School (since 2008), the Philadelphia Tango Festival (since 2010), Milonga Tours (offering tango tours of Buenos Aires for dancers since 2009), and the tango record label Bochinche Records (since 2023). Before tango, Meredith came from a background in music, and has made it her life’s mission to help tango dancers and tango musicians understand each other a little better. Her Bochinche Records released Psicoporteño by Tipica Messiez in June 2023. The next year, Bochinche released La inevitable tentacion de ir a contramano by Sexteto Fantasma, which was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for “Best Tango Album.” On December 11, 2025, Bochinche released the first triple album in the history of tango, Icónico y Barrial by Orquesta Misteriosa Buenos Aires. Three albums are forthcoming in 2026. Meredith has taught and performed with Andres Amarilla in more than 40 cities worldwide, including Istanbul, Sydney and Byron Bay (Australia), Gdansk and Brzeg (Poland), Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Beirut (Lebanon), Nicosia (Cyprus), Vancouver and Montreal (Canada), and more than 30 cities in the United States. Meredith has completed a Diploma in Tango at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. She has also completed Dr. Madeleine Hackney’s Teacher Training in Adapted Tango Classes for Older Individuals and Those with Movement Disorders. In July 2024, Meredith became one of very few foreigners in the world to be named an “Academic” of the National Academy of Tango in Buenos Aires, a program of the Argentine Ministry of Culture and Department of Education. https://www.philadelphiatangoschool.com/meredith https://youtu.be/n2CgBEwTNM8?si=pkn3Xzy3LpBKNtv9 https://youtu.be/PEIh-Ccrihk?si=yKrtE8PAZjrfw1Cif 👉 Message Miha Kim for registration and LIMITED private lessons.
