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.
