From the age of fourteen she shared the stage with major artists of cante and baile, including José Mercé, La Macanita, Chano Lobato, El Pele, Enrique Morente, Pansequito, and Aurora Vargas. She has distinguished herself as a soloist in companies led by Manolete, Cristóbal Reyes, Antonio Canales, Rafael Amargo, Juan Andrés Maya, and Blanca del Rey. She has participated in collaborative projects such as Pura Pasión, Maestros (El Güito), La Pasión de Cristo, and Miroterráneo (BBF). She has also appeared in works such as Azul Vida (Nuevo Ballet Español) and Bailaoras, El Nuevo Tiempo, and in the farewell performances of La Chana, Diosa del Compás.

Entre sus propias creaciones se encuentran Talegoneando, Gesto Flamenco, Oro Molido y MEMORIA: Capacidad de recordar.

Talegona continues an active performance career—currently appearing in Sevilla a compás by Antonio Canales, embodying Pilar de Valderrama—while developing and teaching her own methodology in danza española and flamenco.
