Tango in the Close Embrace

Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the “milonguero” style of tango. Milonguero, or what Argentines call “apilado,” 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.

Susana has probably put more people on the dance floors of Buenos Aires than any other single teacher. 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.
