Jorge Elizondo Bio

While learning and excelling in Salsa, Jorge was introduced to Bachata by Rudy a fellow dancer visiting the McAllen area. Jorge realized Bachata was the perfect dance for all dancers, for its simple step patterns would allow dancers to be expressive and connect emotionally. Bachata, still new to many Latin dance scenes in the United States, had yet to develop into more than a basic 4 step dance. Jorge along with other local instructors started developing new turns patterns and creative ideas for the Bachata dance. Bachata has now evolved into a very sexy yet more elaborate dance than it was before. Jorge has cultivated numerous turn patterns and footwork that work seamlessly into the Bachata music. Jorge loves to play with the music and go outside of the box making his dance a unique and spontaneous. With his trip to Miami, Jorge met Hips on Fire a dance group from Boston lead by Seemore Johnson and his dance partner Cristina Pujol. Hips On Fire were the first to developed Bachata Rueda. Jorge took a Seemore's Bachata Rueda workshop at Miami Casino Rueda Congress and fell in love with the idea of Bachata Rueda. Jorge returned to McAllen and the following Wednesday started teaching Bachata Rueda at the Gas Light Club. Capitalizing on what he learned at the many workshops he attended, Jorge started developing his own calls. Jorge’s Bachata Syllabus has grown over 40 calls and Jorge has released many of these in his Learn to Dance Bachata DVD Series. His learn to dance series has been touted as a useful learning tool for any neophyte as well as any established dancer who yearns to either learn one of the great Latin dances or to add Bachata to their dance arsenal.

Jorge is now traveling all over the United States on his Journey to spread Bachata all over the World. Jorge started his Bachata Boot Camp Tour in June 2006 visiting 11 Major cities including San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City, Washington D.C. Area, New York City and Houston with in 3 weeks. Jorge will be visiting Belize in August and will be going over seas to UK in September. Jorge’s goal is to spread bachata all over United States, Europe and Asia one city at a time.

What’s next for Jorge is that he hopes to somehow implement a difference in the lives of those attending his classes. For Jorge, dance is more than a job or a hobby; it was a life altering experience that continues to have an impact on him every day. With tours and DVDs lining up, Jorge is ecstatic about meeting new people and introducing them to bachata. He wholeheartedly believes this is the next big thing in Latin Dance and he shares a special connection with this art form and feels it can some day impact many whether it is through physical health or just having a great time on the dance floor.
