Instructors and DJs

• Susana Miller (Argentina)
  
  Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" or "apilado," which is the social style of tango danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos Aires. She is a native of Buenos Aires and has been dancing and teaching tango since the late 1980s. She has made annual teaching tours to the United States and Europe since 1994. 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. It is very likely that more people have been put on the dance floors of Buenos Aires by Susana than any other single teacher.
  
  She will help students improve posture, axis, grounding, breathing, balance, and sensitivity to the lead and follow roles. She aims to encourage dancers to develop their own unique improvisational styles through knowledge of the music, space and body. Her classes will emphasize step quality and rhythm.
