Jorge Uzunian is one of the great dancers from the Golden Age of tango.
In his dance you see an unceasing pursuit for every beat, done with a technical proficiency that is rare. He commands a sophisticated musicality that senses the appropriate movements for any given moment within the compás of the music. Jorge's rhythm can be described as having a lyrical quality, full of suspense.
Jorge's talent was forged from the demanding problem solving needed for the social dance floor. What was created was a clever vocabulary that is not only poetic but also wise and functional. His embrace is pure energy. You will see and feel a cadencia that rises and falls, possessed by the driving forward pull of the rhythm. This cadencia facilitates a full expression of delightful nuances with an unbridled enthusiasm for tango, making his style one of the most energetic, yet one of the sweetest of the current tango spectrum.
