[Srini Vishnubhotla]

Registration currently open for Susana Miller Tango Worshops
Houston June 13-14 2009.

SUSANA MILLER BIO

Susana Miller is a key character in today's tango. She was the
first person to study the anonymous and intuitive milongueros'
dance, to enjoy tango in the same way they have done for decades:
dancing socially. In this way she has developed a rich language
that condenses more than a hundred years of tango tradition. Her
work as a teacher has shaped tango as we know it now, not only
in Buenos Aires, but also around the world. Her ability to focus
on key concepts and communicate them with ease distinguishes
her from her predecessors, since she can - with a language as
technically correct as it is accessible - share the secrets of
the Porteña milonga with everyone who wants to become part of
it. Teacher of teachers, she has worked with most of the renowned
milonguero teachers and is constantly training new generations
of professional instructors. She has toured all around the world.
