Miriam Garcia is a writer, dancer, folklorist and gawker, at least whenever the glitter starts to fly. As a writer, she works in the ad biz and has probably written more infomercials than anyone on the planet. In the dance world, she was a student and performer of American Tribal Bellydance. At various nightclubs along her dance journey, Miriam fell in love the many forms of off-beat and fusion dance, especially burlesque.
She says, “Burlesque celebrates the individual. It’s dancing by the people for the people, up close and personal, and it doesn’t get better than that!” As a folklorist, Miriam is fascinated by the formation and functioning of fringe groups, sub groups and chosen families. Miriam is thrilled to be part of the Glitter Tribe project and hopes that some of the glam will rub off on her.
