Known as the 'Gene Kelly of Latin dance", he first came to prominence for his key role in the classic Academy Award- nominated film Tango, and in the 2000 Broadway production of Tango Argentino. His performances have been seen worldwide on Argentinean television, on stage (Broadway's "Tango Argentino"), on tour (most notably with Julio Iglesias) and on screen.

Junior's own company of dancers performed to standing ovations in Japan. South America and Europe.
