Jorge Torres will be visiting the San Francisco Bay Area briefly to deliver an all new educational program entitled "Illusion & Magic" (San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento and Monterey)
Dates:  September 10th - 15th, 2009

Jorge Torres is a true Master of his craft. Some say it takes a lifetime to be a Master. Jorge has achieved this major feat within a mere thirty-nine years of dancing. 
Jorge Torres joined "Forever Tango" in 1995, where he has held the position of Troupe Dance Captain & Principal Dancer for the last nine years.  He is currently the Artistic Director for the American Tango Institute, in Chicago, Illinois, and his time is divided between teaching in New York and performing in "Forever Tango" worldwide. 

“Illusion and Magic” Series – Studying the art of creating illusions
