Saturday, May 22, 9pm - 1am.  Please come and hear our pianist along 
with
special guest:  SUSANA MILLER of Buenos Aires is the most prominent 
teacher
in the world today of the “milonguero” style of tango and has probably 
put
more people on the dance floors of Buenos Aires than any other single
teacher. 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. The milonguero (or
“apilado”) style is danced in the crowded clubs of central Buenos 
Aires. It
emphasizes the connection between the couple and musicality, using 
compact
choreography that creatively employs the limited space of the social 
dance
floor.
Where?:Wilkins School and Community Center in Regent Square, at the 
corner 
of Charleston and Braddock Ave.  For more information call:
