Having been born to an Argentinean and musical family, Jorge began his music education and exposure to Tango early on in life. George started formal music training at the age of ten and continued though high school and college. During these years his teachers noticed his exceptional musical ability, and with their encouragement he expanded his knowledge by learning several instruments.
In 1992, Jorge discovered Shaolin Kung Fu, and through constant diligence and patience, he became senior instructor and performed demonstrations in several cities in the U.S.
A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Jairelbhi Furlong began her dance training at the age of nine. She joined Las Voces Blancas, one of the top dance schools for kids.
