Jorge Nel Giraldo was born in 1956 and made his artistic debut when he was 8
years old. His endeavors span more than 30 years and reflect his love and
dedication to dancing and teaching Argentine Tango.
In 1978, he founded the Dorada school of Folkloric Dance, where he was
director/coordinator until 1985. After completing his formal education, he
served as Professor of Theatre Arts in the National Air Force of Colombia.
In 1985, he won the first National Tango Championship in one of the most
popular festivals in Colombia: "La Feria de Manizales." A year later, he came
to the United States under contract for the company "Martin Fierro," where he
directed a show for three years. In 1990 he founded "El Club Amigos del Tango,"
which currently has 1,978 members. He started Florida's first "Tango Dance
Academy" in 1992 and from 1992 to 1996 was the organizer of "El Festival Mayor
Del Tango."
In 1994 he formed the dance performance company "Tango Fever," which is still
actively performing. From 1997 to 1999, he successfully organized three
consecutive years of Tango congresses that enjoyed national and international
attendance.
In 1998, in recognition of Jorge's twelve years of excellence in artistic
work, Mayor Alex Penelas of Dade County honored him with an award, proclaiming
May 15 as "Jorge Nel Giraldo's Day." That same year, he was nominated as an
official Member Representative for The National Tango Academy of Argentina in
the United States.
In 1999, Jorge appeared as a tango dancer a scene from the motion picture
"Random Hearts." Harrison Ford and Kirsten Scott Thomas starred in the film.
Jorge is considered the pioneer of Argentine Tango in South Florida. He was
also instrumental in spreading tango to many parts of the United States, such
as Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Cleveland, Tucson and many cities
throughout Florida, where he led numerous tango dancing seminars. He continues
to work in South Florida while traveling to other cities to teach tango.
