She soon became a member of some of the leading Spanish flamenco companies, performing throughout Europe, Asia and America. Early in her career she worked with the National Ballet of Cuba, and became a member of the company of El Guito. In Germany she presented her first show, La Gitana Blanca, and in the U.S. she made her debut as a soloist for the Jose Greco Company and also appeared as a soloist for a Joaquin Cortes production with performances in Europe and Japan. She formed her own company in 2003. The success of her initial production, performed in Mexico, led to numerous invitations to perform in many of the best venues in Mexico and Spain. With the release of her show Destemplao she embarked on a European tour that included performances in 20 cities in the Netherlands alone. In 2009 she developed Tercera Llamada and her latest production Flamenco Intimo has already being sold around the world but the premier will be Oct 27th and 28th in Miami, USA.
