Mira'sFavorite Performances

"Palomita Blanca" with Mira, Debbie & Jasmine

I love the creativity of the vals for three! And dancing with Debbie and Jasmine was fantastic!

"El Sol Sueno" with TCF Company in Buenos Aires 2017

I love the choreography and interpretation of this music and the way we fluidly change partners and change from working in duos to working as an ensemble throughout the piece. Performing with Tango Con*Fusión in Buenos Aires where I had lived for several years was very special!

"Coming of Age" Mira in Sex, Women & Tango Show 2017

I loved this whole show and especially how Debbie encouraged me to develop my character throughout. This solo piece chapters that coming of age from a little girl to a young woman tanguera.

"Derecho Viejo" with TCF Company in Berlin 2018

Performing at the Berlin Queer Tango Festival in 2018 was one of my highlights from my time in Tango Con*Fusión! And I loved this choreography, which all eight of us performed there together. It was fast, challenging, and fun!
