While in Spain, she worked with several flamenco dance companies such as “Compañía María Juncal”, Cristóbal Reyes’s “Las Cosas del Flamenco”, and “Gitana Cortés Company” of Joaquín Cortés. She has also performed in a number of world-class tablaos in Spain and Mexico, and was invited to impart classes and to participate in prestigious conferences around the world, including in the International Dance Conference in Taiwan in 2004. She has shared the stage with such internationally celebrated artists as Carmela Greco, Chuscales, “La Truco”, Jesús Montoya and La Tati.
