Dancing With the Stars Karina Smirnoff to Co-Star in ‘Tango Shalom’, Production Begins Next Month

Awww, this is such good news for Karina Smirnoff. According to The Wrap, the Dancing With The Stars pro is slated to be in a new iddie comedy called “Tango Shalom”. Production starts in July.

Karina Smirnoff of “Dancing With the Stars” is set to co-star in the indie comedy “Tango Shalom,” TheWrap has learned.

Gabriel Bologna is directing from a script by Joseph Bologna and Claudio Laniado. The writers are also part of the ensemble, which also includes Lainie Kazan and Renee Taylor.

Jos Laniado stars as Moshe, a Hasidic Jew who receives a cryptic message from God to dance the tango, after which he struggles with his beliefs, his family and his community.

Smirnoff will play Viviana, a pretty tango instructor who oozes sensuality. The role is a strong fit for Smirnoff, who is a professional ballroom dancer.

“Tango Shalom” is slated to start production next month in New York.
