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 
tangobookings at gmail.com or tangotuscany at gmail.com to pre-register for the 
workshops and the special class and to book your private class.
