Right from childhood, Jorge was fascinated with the Latin Folk dancing style. He began the study of traditional Latin folk dances at a very early age and over the years emerged as one of the best dancers and trainers of Modern and Jazz styles of dancing. In 1989 Jorge immigrated to USA (Los Angeles, California) where he studied under MIDI music Productions. He excelled in arranging, composing and performing at “Grove School of Music”. Jorge also studied Jazz improvisation and opera singing at the Santa Monica College. In 1992 Jorge Geronimo founded, “Luz Interna Music”, a music production company where he had the opportunity to collaborate with various artists as well as film and video producers. From 1994-2000 Jorge trained formally at the John Cassese’s School of Dance. The school follows an “Arthur Murray” syllabus for the Bronze, Silver and Gold medal standards of American and International Styles with special reference to all the Latin dances. During these years Jorge also had the chance to train with top coaches such as Rey Rivers, Nadia Eftadal, 7 times world Champion Ron Montes, The Kunitz, Wendy Johnson & Lui Van Amstel and several others.
