Meredith Klein began studying tango in Massachusetts in 1999. She visited Buenos Aires for the first time in January 2005 and immediately fell in love with everything: the city, the culture, and the opportunities to improve as a dancer. Within four weeks of her return to the US, she had sold her house, car, and most of her possessions. In April, she returned to Buenos Aires and began training with Andres, working specifically on creating a dance that uses traditional tango technique to execute "nuevo tango" steps.

In October, Andres & Meredith began performing together in Buenos Aires, including a performance at Milonga La Vikinga with live music by electronic tango orchestra Otros Aires. They also danced in "Cabaret Mojado," a piece by Norwegian choreographer Gitte Bastiansen. Meredith will return to the US to teach with Andres Amarilla for six months in 2006, but plans to make a permanent home in Buenos Aires.
