SUSANA MILLER WORKSHOPS IN CHICAGO, JUNE 5TH AND 6TH Don’t miss the opportunity to study with this great master teacher!!! Early bird discount expires May 9th
Susana Miller will be back in Chicago from June 3-10, 2010. She will give another series of workshops the weekend of June 5 and 6. We have structured the classes this year for the intermediate and advanced dancer. There will be limited enrollment. We will attempt to gender balance the enrollment so that you can find a partner during the workshops. Individuals signing up with partners will have priority. Others can sign up as an individual if they take the full 6 class package, or purchase a full day pass. People that sign up for an individual class will need to sign up with a partner. SUSANA MILLER BIO. 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 their own unique style of tango. She has been able to decipher their distinct vocabularies and choreographic combinations, and is gifted in her ability to convey 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 most important influences on contemporary tango, along with Miguel Angel Zotto, Gustavo Naveira and Gerardo Portalea.
