As a performer, she toured worldwide with the companies of Antonio Gades, Mario Maya, and Rafael Aguilar, as well as with Riverdance The Show. She is also widely known for her screen performances in the films of Carlos Saura. In 1990, she set up her own company, which tours extensively from its base of operations in Madrid.
