Susana Miller

Susana Miller is a tango dancer and teacher who began dancing and teaching during the late-1980s social tango revival, having learned at the Balmaceda practica [1]. She is associated with teaching milonguero-style tango, which she introduced to North American dancers [3], and with years of touring alongside Cacho Dante [2].

Susana Miller is a tango dancer and teacher. According to a workshop page, she began dancing and teaching during the social tango revival of the late 1980s, a period the source dates to 1988, and she learned at the Balmaceda practica [1].

In the late 1980s, dated in the sources to 1989, she invited Cacho Dante to teach with her, which began years of touring together [2]. One source credits her with introducing milonguero-style classes to North American dancers, an activity it dates to 1995 [3]. The same source records her teaching at the Denver Memorial Day Milonguero Weekend, dated to 2002 [3].

The same workshop page states that the Argentine newspaper Clarín named her one of the four most important current influences on tango, an item dated to 1999 [1]. A video listing records her as a dance partner of several dancers, including Robert Hauk, Eva Garlez, Diego Gutierrez, Ricardo Luis Gallo, Raul Capelli, Horacio Prestamo and Oscar Hector [4].

History

Susana Miller's involvement with tango is traced in the sources to the social tango revival of the late 1980s, when she began both dancing and teaching [1]. She learned at the Balmaceda practica during this period [1]. The available material dates this beginning to 1988 at year precision [1].

In the late 1980s, an event dated to 1989, Miller invited Cacho Dante to teach with her [2]. According to the source, this collaboration started years of touring together [2]. The source does not give the length of the partnership, its end date, or the places they visited [2].

A workshop page reports that in 1999 Clarín named Miller one of the four most important current influences on tango [1]. This recognition is known here only as it is described on that workshop page [1].

Miller is credited with introducing milonguero-style classes to North American dancers, an activity dated to 1995 [3]. The source that records this discusses the rise and fall of tango milonguero in North America in the 21st century, with a focus on the Denver tango festival [3].

The same source records Miller teaching at the Denver Memorial Day Milonguero Weekend, an event dated to 2002 [3].
