SUSANA MILLER BIO. Susana Miller is the most prominent
teacher in the world today 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
has researched and studied the dancing of the older
milongueros, each of whom has created their own unique
style of tango. She has been able to decipher their
distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations,
and is gifted in her ability to convey these to
students.

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 her one of the
four most important influences on contemporary
tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira
and Gerardo Portalea.
