About Andrey & Yulia

Andrey Eremenko and Julia Papilova studied with Sebastian Arce, Mariana Montes, Mariano Chicho Frumbolli, Julio Balmaceda and Corina dela Rosa, Claudia Kodega and Esteban Moreno, Pablo Inza, Geraldine Rojas and others. Before relocating to Montenegro they taught at "Tangocity”, one of the most famous Moscow schools. They’re members of AMBCTA (ASOCIACIÓN DE MAESTROS BAILARINES Y COREÓGRAFOS DE TANGO ARGENTINO) and organizers of “San Telmo» Tango School in Podgorica, Montenegro. Julia has been dancing since childhood and has 10 years experience in classical choreography. She graduated from Moscow State University of Culture and Arts. Andrey came to tango from the background of martial arts and his long time interest in Argentine culture and tango music.

Andrey's knowledge of human body rhythms, Julia's dance experience and their attitude of care for the traditions of Argentine Tango, have contribute to their own teaching method characterized by simplicity, efficiency and systematic effort towards their students’ advancement. They teach in English and Russian.

"We do not force our students to memorize a lot of sequences. We try to teach them fundamental principles of body movement and partners’ interaction within tango aesthetics. For us tango is a wonderful way to create something together, a language of communication across all kinds of boundaries. If tango needed a motto, we would choose this: Tango - a dance of strict rules, with the most stringent saying - be free together."

The entertainment programme will be finalized at a later date.

Partner is not necessary, beginners welcome.

Private classes - please arrange directly with Andrey and Yulia.

See you on the dance floor!
