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).
