Silvina Escudero: From child dancer to broadcaster, reflecting on early beginnings, recent separation, and enduring loss

Argentine entertainer Silvina Escudero looks back on a career that began at the tender age of 13, dancing in Roberto Giordano's fashion shows. Her early start instilled a deep sense of discipline and hard work, values she attributes to her family's own entrepreneurial spirit. Escudero recalls her father, who built his company from scratch starting at 14, teaching her the importance of self-reliance and consistent effort.

“

I always say that sacrifice, constancy, and discipline bear fruit. I really like to work, and it's the education my family gave me because my dad started working at 14 and built his own company from scratch. I learned that you don't have to depend on anyone and you have to make an effort.

Escudero's professional journey has been marked by reinvention and diverse experiences. She has worked as a dancer for artists like José Luis “El Puma” Rodríguez and appeared on Diego Maradona's show "La noche del 10." Her career also includes stints on "Bailando por un sueño" and in musical theater. More recently, she graduated as a broadcaster, launched a streaming show called "Al modo Escudero," and appears nightly on "Polémica en el bar." She also co-owned a dance school with her sister Vanina and has her own bikini brand.

In an intimate conversation with LA NACION, Escudero opens up about the sacrifices and discipline that have shaped her life and career. She emphasizes that her parents, despite a comfortable upbringing, never gave them anything without effort. This upbringing fostered a strong work ethic, leading her to pursue a multifaceted career that includes her recent graduation and entrepreneurial ventures.

“

I started working at 13: with my sister, we did Roberto Giordano's fashion shows as dancers and later as choreographers. We were the only two dancers, two little girls. At that time, commercial segments were done in an artistic way, and we did the advertising for the sponsoring brands.

Beyond her professional achievements, Escudero touches on personal aspects of her life. She discusses her recent separation after nearly a decade together and the lingering grief over the death of her dog, Mulata, who was her companion since she moved out of her parents' home. These personal reflections add a layer of vulnerability to her narrative of a driven and resilient public figure.

I was one of the 'diegotas,' in addition to the dancers. I remember that once [Mike] Tyson wanted to pick me up live, he started groping me, and Maradona stopped him. It was another era, another television...
