Susana Miller is Coming to Minnesota!! SUSANA MILLER legendary original teacher of milonguero style tango, was named one of the 4 most influential people in social tango by Clarin, the biggest daily newspaper of Buenos Aires.

She was the first to decode how the milongueros and milongueras danced - what they did and how they did it--and to present it for others to learn. This compact rhythmic tango from the crowded dance floors of Buenos Aires is not for show. Rather, it is for the private pleasure of the dancers themselves - a subtle and secret corporal conversation.

Susana's fame has come in part from her multiple associations with renowned milongueros, who chose to work with her because of her dedication to preserving and promoting their way of dancing. These included Cacho Dante, Luisito, Eduardo Aguirre, Tete, Ruben Harymbat, and Ricardo Vidort. She was also the owner and operator of one of the most popular milonga venues in Buenos Aires, El Beso, and has led a highly successul tango academy in Buenos Aires for more than 20 years. She has taught in every major city across Europe and North America.

She will be here from May 22 to May 29th.  Her workshops are Saturday, May 23rd and 24th.  Friday May 22 she will teach a lesson before the Mala Yunta milonga. We will also have a special milonga on Saturday, May 23rd.  Privates are available. Here is the link to more information, although the times may change:  mndance.com/SusanaMillerworkshop.html  She will also DJ the milongas. 

Are you available to host some out of town visitors?  We have people coming from all over...  It's going to be quite a weekend!

SATURDAY April 25 CLASSES ARE CANCELLED.  I will be teaching workshops in Thunder Bay, Canada all weekend.

Tuesday Party: Tuesday at 9, after the lessons. Always a good time, but especially lately!  You may get a chance to hang out with Manuel Garcia, and maybe even Andres Gross!

Thunder Bay tango workshops are this weekend! I am teaching a full schedule of workshops Saturday and Sunday.  Friday evening we are doing a peformance, and a presentation on culture and history  If you should find yourself up there (it is really beautiful) please stop in.

Upcoming: 
Manuel Garcia is playing for the Rochester Tango Community TSOR for their monthly milonga May 2nd. Roadtrip? Yes!  We are organizing, let me know if you want a seat on the "caravan" Stay tuned for other performances, but definitely come by the Tuesday party and hear him. 

Musings:  It's all about the music. I dance many styles of dance, all are fun, but tango has a special connection to the music which I never encountered in any other dance. When you ask an Argentine if he knows tango he will say "Yes!" But if you ask him if he dances tango, it is more likely that he will say he never learned.  A true tango dancer thinks of the music before the dance when s/he hears the word tango. So, if you are learning tango, please learn as much about the music as you can!  It is impossible to interpret tango with dance moves if you don't understand and appreciate the music. We have a rare opportunity now to listen to live tango music by an expert, of a caliber that we will not likely find again here. Do yourself a favor and get to as many of  Andres Gross and/or Manuel Garcia's events as possible!  Andres is available for lessons.  Contact him at art59ar@ yahoo.com.ar
