TUTOR'S CVs:

JUAN CABRERA (Tangoreo):

Juan came into tango in July 1997 when he was 20 years old encouraged by his father who used to listen to tango music all day. He always told Juan that being a good "porteño" as he was he should learn how to dance tango (porteño is the name for the people that were born in the city of Buenos Aires).

 So he began to attend classes in the tango schools of the west area of the city of Buenos Aires. And 2 years later he started to dance with Adolfo Godoy and Leonardo Cuello, commencing then a long career as a dancer, teacher and choreographer that has taken him throughout Argentina, South America and Europe.

 He has learned with Aurora Lubis, Jorge Firpo, Pablo Veron and Roberto Herrera, to name but a few.

In 2005 he received a grant from the Argentinean Government to study to become a qualified tango teacher.

In 2006 and 2008 he received the award "Para que Bailen los Muchachos" from the city of Buenos Aires.

He is recognized in the best Buenos Aires milongas - like Salon Canning, Club Grisel, Club sin Rumbo, Sunderland, Porteño y Bailarín - where he has been dancing since his career began.

Juan has also been a well known tango guide among tourists and tango students from all over the world.

In his origin country he combines his teaching and performances with volunteer workshops and shows in public hospitals, charities, churches or schools, moved by his desire of making people smile and helping them to express themselves through dance and movement.

He has been coming to UK once a year since 2007 to teach and to help to promote the authentic Argentine Tango with The Northern Tango Society. In 2010 he decided to establish in Sheffield.

At the moment he teaches tango, milonga lisa y traspie y valz in groups, workshops and private lessons, as well as body awareness.
