In 1984, Omar landed his first role dancing tango in the Argentinean French film “Tangos, the Exile of Gardel”. Since then, Omar, with his personal, graceful, elegant and aesthetic style has danced in the major tango dinner-shows in Buenos Aires as “La Ventana”, “Señor Tango”, “Michelángelo”, “El Viejo Almacén” and “Esquina Homero Manzi”, among others.

He has also worked in the Tango shows of the maestros Mariano Mores, Rubén Juárez, Omar Valente, Osvaldo Requena, Julián Plaza, Walter Ríos, Carlos Buono, Atilio Stampone, Ernesto Franco, Cristian Zárate, Néstor Marconi, Carlos Galván, Orquesta El Arranque, Quinteto Real, Los Reyes del Tango, Color Tango, Bajo Fondo Tango Club and Orquesta Juan D’Arienzo.

On television, Omar danced for three consecutive years in the television tango programmes “La Noche con Amigos” and “Los Amigos del Tango” broadcast by ATC (Argentina’s equivalent of the BBC).

In 1998, he works mainly in The Contemporary Ballet Company of the Astor Piazzolla Foundation. In 2003, Omar joins the cast of the operetta “Maria de Buenos Aires” by Astor Piazzolla in France, directed by Alfredo Arias and Ana Maria Steckelman. This well know operetta then tours Buenos Aires in 2009 under the direction of Marcelo Lombardero and Oscar Aráiz.

Omar’s thirty years career is highlighted by his work being presented in the main theatres around the world, at The Department of State of The White House in Washington, receiving and dancing personally for The Crown Prince of Japan, the world congresses of Visa International, Toyota Motors Company and United Airlines.

His teaching experience in tango salon is supported by, not only his work as a dancer and choreographer, but also by his profound knowledge of body language, biomechanics, and motion analysis. Omar has taught at various dance studios, academies and companies worldwide, and most notably at The Tango University of Buenos Aires and at The Academical National Art Institute in Buenos Aires (IUNA).
