About Raúl
The base of his training in tango is from the 2 years he spent in Buenos Aires dedicated exclusively and intensively to this dance, studying with most of 100 of the top teachers who passed through the land of Buenos Aires.
This training was expanded and refined, resulting in a very personal technique thanks to the exchange of ideas and experiences in the many trips and frequent visit to marathons, festivals and milongas of cities around the world, along with dancers and DJs of all kinds.
He began with Latin dances, but is constantly training and investigating to improve his dancing and teaching, including studying other specialties such as yoga and theater. This coupled with the experience and prior knowledge in his teaching, has come to create his own teaching method, which is his image and likeness (charged with energy, fun, creative ...).
The great clarity of his explanations is another advantage for his students, getting better quickly, and getting more out of his classes, to assimilate the technique and analyze the "why" and "how" is held every movement.
Another advantage is that since leaving Buenos Aires in 2010, has taught in dozens of cities in different countries across Europe, USA and Russia, and even DJing at Milongas, Festivals and Marathons. It has given a very broad perspective of different styles, methods, and even errors.
He has performed with live orchestras (even a video-clip), and has been fortunate to work with great teachers like Jesica Arfenoni, Sofia Saborido, Kseniya Chichaeva, Ekaterina Koptelova, Sabina Seiler ...
He speaks Spanish, English and Italian fluently and some French. And most important thing is that teaching is his passion and it shows in each class he gives in body and soul, and eliciting the smiles of the students through fun ;)
