    How we know

    Each filmed Occasion once, with the partner the video credits; a partner is named when they share at least half of them.

Lucila Cionci is a tango dancer [1]. In 2007 she founded Formula Tango with Joe Corbata [1]. The two later worked together on exhibitions, seminars, a stage show and the Expo Tango Catalunya event [1][2].

A partner listing records her as partnered with Joe Corbata, Joe Rodrigo and Roberto Reis . Other sources name her partner as Rodrigo 'Joe' Corbata [1][2]. Sources therefore differ on whether Joe Corbata and Joe Rodrigo are one partner or two separate partners [1].

Career

Cionci founded Formula Tango with Joe Corbata in 2007 [1]. In 2008 she danced in Sally Potter's Carmen at the London Coliseum [1].

On 1 February 2011 she and Corbata gave an exhibition at Práctica X, together with a February seminar there [2]. In 2013 she and Corbata directed the show 'Glosario Tanguero' at Tarbes en Tango [1].

Partnerships

A partner listing names three dance partners for Cionci :

  • Joe Corbata
  • Joe Rodrigo
  • Roberto Reis

Sources on her festival and teaching work give her partner as Rodrigo 'Joe' Corbata [1][2]. Because of this, sources differ on whether the listing's "Joe Corbata" and "Joe Rodrigo" are the same person [1]. The dossier gives no dates or details for her partnership with Roberto Reis .
