The essence of Raul Cabral's art and teaching is
to develop the competence of each student
through amplified awareness of musical rhythm and
natural body movement. Dedicated to a
non-choreographic methodology, both leader and
follower learn to enrich the quality of their
dance by learning to move correctly but
freely, while expressing attention and sensitivity
toward their partner. He makes the execution
of this very complicated dance form seem
easy utilizing a simple but detailed breakdown of
movement techniques, balance and floor-craft.
Known as The Doctor, Cabral guides the dancer,
at any level, to discover and heighten their
awareness of self and to expand their ability and
confidence to dance on the social floor.
Raull Cabral's extensive knowledge of the
culture, history, tradition and music of Tango make
him a sought after resource for new and seasoned
Tango aficionados alike. He hosts regular
discussion groups to collaborate and to share
experiences and perspectives with peers.
Dedicated to his art form and its dissemination,
he is a contributor of articles to numerous
magazines and periodicals both in Buenos Aires
and internationally and is currently
compiling his numerous writings for a book.
Cabrals music library is one of the most
extensive amongst his peers. With over 4,000
recordings, the collection spans a period
of over 60 years, with an emphasis on the 1940s, The Golden Age of Tango.
A renowned maestro de Tango for over 13 years,
Raul Cabral has taught and shared his
art and pedagogy with over thirty-five
international tango professors who have made the
pilgrimage to Buenos Aires to learn his
methodology. Over 800 of his students are currently
dancing in milongas worldwide. He has given
workshops and participated in festivals in Brazil,
Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Holland,
France and Argentina, and is a member of long
standing of the Asociación de Maestros y
Coreógrafos de Tango Argentino, Buenos Aires.
