[email protected] Bio: Susana Miller is a "grande maestro" of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." This style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana encourages students to employ more rhythm in their dance, to discover their own dance vocabularies, and to learn how to shape and shrink these in space. For women, she encourages active following, in which the woman interprets the messages that the leader's body and the spirit are sending. Clarin,the major Buenos Aires daily paper, called Susana Miller, one of the four most imblportant influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea. Susana is a portena, which means she was born and lives in Buenos Aires. She has been dancing and teaching tango since the late 1980s' revival of social tango. She founded and operates her own tango academy in Buenos Aires in addition to the foremost yearly tango festival in Buenos Aires, "Milongueando". She makes annual teaching tours to the United States and Europe and has been doing so since 1994.
