One of Marcela’s first professional engagements was in the early 1990’s when she was asked to join the “Ballet folklórico Nacional Argentino”, directed by Santiago Ayala “El chucaro” and Norma Viola.

Marcela was picked at the national level to become part of this company, Argentina’s major dance company, founded and funded by the Argentine Ministry of Culture.

During this period Marcela participated in numerous competitions, TV programs, fairs and cultural events throughout Argentina and abroad.
