by listening to her father singing and playing to the guitar. When Marcela was 17 she began

bubbly Caribbean background, has contributed to her unique style.

New Zealand, Argentina and Germany, has enriched her dancing and teaching skills.

about contemporary dance and is also interested in exploring the change of roles in the dance and
the many social values that can be incorporated into tango from this practice.

from the tango community.
