Susana Miller will also be available for private lessons during her stay from May 31 - June 6th. Biography Susana Miller is the most prominent teacher in the world today 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 has researched and studied the dancing of the older milongueros, each of whom has created a unique way to tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and found a way to transmit these to students. 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 her one of the four mostimportant influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea. Susana is a native of Buenos Aires and 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, and is the owner of one of B.A.'s most popular tango clubs, El Beso. She has made annual teaching tours to the United States and Europe since 1994. 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. Rather than predetermined patterns, she will impart a basic choreographic vocabulary that allows dancers to creatively shape their own language.

[Tango-A] NA-E: Eduardo Tami Trio Scheduling 2012 Season
Dear Tango Enthusiasts, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING THIS VERY TALENTED TRIO AND DANCERS FOR CLASSES,WORKSHOPS,LECTURES, MILONGAS,OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF,PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. THANK YOU, Kathryn Johns tangoart...@gmail.com 843-901-0685 My name is Eduardo Tami, I´m an Argentine flutist specializing in tango music . www.eduardotami.com.ar Now I am organizing my schedule for our September / October 2012 tour and let you know my offering, in case you are interested in hosting our visit. I travel with my group: A musicians trio (flute, piano and guitar) plus a couple of dancers, trying to bring a little bit of our culture through the music, dance and with the contact with students. This will be my 11th. tour and I have already visited around 60 universities in the USA. Generally our hosts are Music, Spanish or Dance Depts. (or all together), sometimes with the cooperation of student's organizations. For the final concert, this year´s novelty is that you can choose between our traditional repertoire consisting of Tango, Milonga, Waltz and Candombe, or a new one which includes (in around half concert) another music from the Argentine and other countries in Latin America folklore. The activities proposed are the following: Language Depts. A lecture for students enrolled in Spanish or other areas, e.g.: Latin American Studies interested in the correlations between Tango history and politics/economics events in Argentina from 1870 to present. This is usually a recompilation of Contemporary Argentine History and Lifestyle through Tango pieces played by the musicians(live), illustrated with powepoint images. Depending on the students level, I can do it in English, Spanish (or a mix) Music Dept. - A class for music students where we teach them how to play the basics of a tango (the students are the ones who play the music and based on my experience they enjoy it very much) - A class for students enrolled in World Music for general culture (similar to the Language Dept. but in English and with more musical elements) - Classes for flute, piano or/and guitar students with tango resources (it is not about the technical aspect of the instrument but interpretation). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8bJkY9fXZUfeature=youtu.be - I would like to invite some professors of the faculty to perform with us a couple of pieces in our final concert.
