Milena Plebs in Toronto!

Dear friends,

Paradiso is extremely proud to bring Milena Plebs, the great Buenos Aires tanguera and tango maestra, to Toronto as part of her inaugural tour in Canada! 

Milena is one of the most respected tango professionals, who found stardom after her stellar performance in "Tango Argentino", that is still considered by many, to be the best ever tango show to travel the world. More shows and more successes followed. Her impressive career on stage as a dancer, and as a choreographer, a dance company founder and a full time tango teacher brought her world-wide fame and she has been acknowledged by many with prestigious international awards. Her sparkling technique and enormous artistic talent make her the true embodiment of the essence of Argentine tango. This is a rare opportunity for our tango community to partake of her vast experience and deep understanding of the dance.

We are doubly fortunate to see Milena dance with Pablo Pugliese, of the celebrated Pugliese dynasty. Pablo in his own right is famous as a dancer and teacher and has enjoyed world-wide popularity for many years. 

On Friday May 25 Milena and Pablo will do a demo together – it promises to be a starry and memorable night at Paradiso!

Milena will teach weekend workshops on Sat. & Sun. May 26-27: 2 pm to 6 pm each day. She is available for private classes as well: private class for 1 dancer – $100 USD; for a couple – $120 USD; for 2 couples – $140 USD. Please make sure that the payment is made in US currency.

SUSANA MILLER IN TORONTO_MAY 2011

MAY WITH MILONGUERA MILLER!

Susana Miller is considered the most prominent teacher in the world today of the "milonguero" style of tango or what Argentines call "apilado." It is a strictly social style that emphasizes musicality and the connection between partners. Susana has researched and studied this style through 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 is a native of Buenos Aires and has been dancing and teaching tango since the its revival in the late 1980s. 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.
