Biography
Cecilia Narova was born in Morón, in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, in 1960. At 7, she entered the Morón Dance School, graduating as a teacher at 13. She made her debut at the then-called Teatro Cómico (now Lola Membrives) in the Chúcaro and Norma Viola ballet, the most important of Argentine folk dance, in a show directed by Mariano Mores. She, always with the ballet, later participated in the show Vidala para un Gaucho Cobarde and, in 1974, again in the presentation of the Mores show, this time in Mar del Plata.
In 1975 the Chúcaro ballet toured Europe, which had financial problems. At the age of 15, she then decided to separate from ballet with five other classmates to form the Grupo Malón Argentino.
In Spain, the Spanish businessman Ricardo Ferrante hired her in 1976 to integrate the renowned magazine Mujeres con sexy-boom, directed by Tony Leblanc, with the first vedette Mary D’Arcos and the comedians Antonio Funes and Cañito, among other figures. That same year I also worked on several television programs in Spain.
In 1979 she returned to Argentina, being selected by Antonio Gasalla for his show at the Teatro Maipo, a show that 1981 would have Claudio Segovia as set designer and costume designer. She was also hired to work with Jorge Porcel on television.

In 1983 she was chosen by Claudio Segovia and Héctor Orezzoli to integrate the cast that premiered the successful show, Tango Argentino. She remained in the cast until 1985, shortly before its Broadway opening.
