About Jorge

Jorge began his professional dance career over 15 years ago, first dancing and teaching at Fred Astaire and several independent dance studios in the metro Atlanta area.

Most recently, Jorge and his partners opened Academy Ballroom International, the next generation of ballroom dance schools providing access to an entire network of World Class Dancers coaches and schools.

As an instructor and competitor, Jorge has transformed students into high level Ballroom and Latin dance competitors by teaching them the skill, technique, artistry and precision to achieve national recognition in the various ballroom circuits.

Among his latests accomplishments are the following:

Jorge continues to be very active dancing Pro/Am with his students, as well as coaching amateur competitive couples. He also enjoys teaching social dance students and couples who are excited about learning ballroom dance.

One way is by continually enhancing his own training. In order to stay up to date with the latest techniques and styles in the dance world, Jorge has and continues to train with such ballroom and Latin dance greats as Corky Ballas, Eddie Ares, Kathryn Schaeffer and most recently Toni Redpath and Liene Apale.

For over 15 years, he has been and continues to be very active in the dancesport competition circuits. Most recently winning the 2007 East/West Rising Star Rhythm Championships held at the prestigious Hotlanta Dance Challenge. In addition to winning or becoming finalist in Smooth and Latin competitions including Emerald Ball, Atlanta Open, Wisconsin Dancesport Competition among many others.

My commitment is for those whose goal is to achieve the highest levels of competition and/or performance oriented dance.
