Early life, before dance
Jorge Crecis was born in Madrid in 1978. From the age of 14 years old to his 20s, he followed a strict education as he aimed to become an army pilot. He attended a secondary school managed by the religious order of San Vicente de Paúl; he then spent one year at a pre-military academy. However, due to a pronounced scoliosis he was declared medically unfit for the Air Force. He tried to enter the army by studying aerospace engineering but after one year he decided to drop his childhood aspirations and started to study Sports science at the Technical University of Madrid. He was introduced to dance in his second year of University by the hand of Pilar López Estébanez. He started to dance at the local dance school 'Marta de la Vega' and soon after became a full-time student at the Madrid Royal Conservatory of Dance: Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Mariemma, studying under Gloria Garcia and Pedro Berdäyes (former co-artistic director of 10 & 10 Danza )
