Susana Miller – Sept. 14-18 in Pittsburgh

Join us for a weekend with Susana Miller in her only visit

Highlights include:
- 2 milongas
- Special rate for novices
- Master classes with limited registration

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, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and
Gerardo Portalea.   The "milonguero" (or apilado) style is
danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. It
emphasizes the connection between the couple and
musicality, resulting in a form of tango with a natural
connection between dancers.  

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 man’s body and the spirit
are sending.  Instead of using preset patterns, she imparts
a basic choreographic vocabulary that allows dancers to
creatively shape their own language.
