The New York Times, Dance ALASTAIR MACAULAY,
"One couple — the excellent Ms. Parma and Mr. Garcia, performed the evening’s biggest hit, a tango that was already potent as they approached each other slowly from opposite sides of the stage. This abounded in marvelous give-and-take details, little flourishes of footwork that came from her, then him, then her again, and sudden skips from either partner while locked in each other’s arms. When she raised a leg (not particularly high), the excitement came from the way she then snapped it back in and down, like a pocket knife. In one phrase she leaned her weight onto him, stretched one leg low past one of his, and then — a peculiarly striking effect — took time to flex her foot and then point it."

"RECUERDO TANGO is memorable indeed... Among New York based dancers who specialize in tango shows, Parma is perhaps the best to be had for this sort of work because she never loses the reality of the moment in technical display or self-conscious virtuosity. That is a sensibility that permeates the whole production..."
The Village Voice, Dance, Brian Seibert,
Tanguera Mariana Parma fixes her eyes on her partner's as he draws her in tight circles around him. Her legs dart between, behind, and through his, snaking up to his waist; even when she looks away, she seems to hold his gaze."

"Mariana Parma, sensual and voluptuous, are the very embodiment of gravity..."
"Set in the U.S., the tale centers around a once-passionate amateur dancer named Ana, played both with and against gravity by the superb Mariana Parma. "
"The strength of the play resides in its likable characters, Flor and Carina, brought fully to life by the talented actors Mariana Parma and Ydaiber Orozco. The authentic accents of the mostly Hispanic cast, along with their occasional use of Spanish, creates an appealing Latin flavor."
The New York Times, Dance, Jennifer Dunning,
"Mariana Parma -- brings a vivid individuality to the choreography."-
