Tangueros the Argentine tango dance company is directed by performers and teachers Jairo Sanchez Rivera and Amy Georgina Teuchert.

As one of Australia's most experienced tango dancers, Rivera founded Tangueros in 2000, and the company now teaches, performs and choreographs Tango Argentino, Vals and Milonga. Tangueros promotes the tango culture in Australia through performances, open classes, hosting visiting artists from Argentina, and taking part in cultural and promotional events.

As part of its ongoing commitment to raising the profile of tango in Australia, Tangueros has hosted internationally renowned artists and choreographers. Guest artists have included Pecky Land Zoghby, Gustavo Saenz and Georgina Vargas, Miguel Angel Zotto and Soledad Rivero, Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, Carlos and Maria Rivarola, Pablo Veron and Noel Strazza.

With Rivera's sixteen years and Teuchert's nine years of dancing experience they are two of the most qualified tango teachers in Australia and the Oceania region. They themselves have studied with Tango's leading maestros including Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Ermocida, Jorge Dispari and Maria "La Turca" del Carmen, Pablo Veron and Noel Strazza, the Mora Godoy Company, Laila and Leandro Oliver,Geraldine Rojas and Ezequiel Paludi, Javier Rodriguez, Ezequiel Farfaro and Milena Plebs, Graciela Gonzalez, Miguel Angel Zotto and Soledad Rivero, Sergio Cortazo and Gachi Fernandez, Eduardo and Gloria Arquimbau, Carlos and Maria Rivarola, Kely and Facundo Posadas, Gabriel Angio and Natalia Games, Roberto Herrera, Guillermina Quiroga.

The couple are innovative teachers who have introduced new concepts, styles, techniques and movements that set their students apart. Tangueros, together with Argentine Tango Instructor Pecky Land Zogbhy, were the first to introduce the popular Milonguero and Salon styles to Australia between 2000 and 2001.

The partnership of Rivera and Teuchert has produced one of the leading performance couples in Australia, combining skill, knowledge, unmatched stage presence and artistic expression. Tangueros is the only tango company in Australia that has performed with renowned Argentine Tango Companies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, including the famed company of Mora Godoy.

In 2004 Rivera choreographed "Satango -The Devil's Tango", an Australian musical directed by Wayne Harrison, starring Simon Burke and Sharon Millerchip.

Since the beginning of their partnership in 2005 Rivera and Teuchert have been invited to perform and teach at events across Australia including
