I am very pleased to announce the return of Raúl Cabral to New York City. A native of Buenos Aires, Maestro Raúl Cabral is a dedicated teacher, a cultural envoy, and an exquisite dancer of improvisational social tango, Tango Milonguero. The essence of his art and teaching is to develop the competence of each student through amplified awareness of musical rhythm and natural body movement.
On this visit Agape Pappas will accompany him. Agape’s style fuses a variety of influences with their own interpretive skills, all emphasized by the type of improvisation that comes from a deep connection between partners. This connection is reflected in a teaching style that emphasizes the importance of walking, balance, focus, musicality, and technique that involves leading with the heart in both close and open embrace. Together they will teach two workshops on Sunday October 24th and a special class with a guided practica on Tuesday October 26th. During their brief visit they will be available for a limited number of private classes. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] to pre-register for the workshops and the special class and to book your private class.
