SUSANA MILLER of Buenos Aires is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the milonguero-style of tango. Clarin, the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called her one of the four most important influences on contemporary tango. Milonguero-style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It emphasizes the connection between the couple and musicality, resulting in a natural connection between dancers. DIEGO YEPES of Buenos Aires has taught at the Festival Internacional de Tango Argentino in Buenos Aires for the past 4 years. He has also taught at the National Academy of Tango, Club Almagro, La Ideal, El Beso, and La Academia de Susana Miller. He has also deejayed at Club Almagro, La Ideal, and El Beso. His specialty is milonga (caminita and traspie).
