Before graduating as a teacher of dancers, Jorge began his career
in the Colon Theatre in Buenos Aires.  He studied with

Antonio Todaro.

He has danced in the most noted tango houses and theaters of

He has appeared in such shows as Imagenes, Tango y Anoranzas,

Jorge joined the cast of Forever Tango in 1995 as a dancer, and also

Drama Desk awards.

With Karen Kain he recorded A Evaristo Carriego, directed by Luis
