Career[edit]
El Fondo Puede Esperar[edit]
In 2005 after many struggles to be cast in theater being that she auditioned to be a back up dancer and measures 1.81 m (5 ft 11+1⁄2 in) tall, she found her break in the comedy musical El Fondo Puede Esperar in where she was cast as a simple dancer. The musical starred comedians José María Listorti and Alvaro "Waldo" Navia, former runway model Denise Dumas, tango singer Alberto Bianco and a large cast of dancers directed by choreographer and acrobat Flavio Mendoza. This is where she and José María met each other. Even though she was cast as a back-up dancer, González stood out as a big star in the musical, having little lead roles and being turned into the lead dancer.
