Susana Miller Milonguero Style Workshops - July 20-21

Susana Miller is the preeminent teacher of Argentine Tango in the
Milonguero Style, a term she coined to introduce tango apilado
to students around the world. Milonguero Style is a synthesis of
Susana’s studies over the years of the unique dancing styles
of the older milongueros. 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. She has a
gift for deciphering their distinct vocabularies and choreographic
combinations, and transmitting these to her students. 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.
