At the age of 18 she began a tour of Japan with Juan Andrés Maya, and a year later she settled in Madrid and continued to work in the tablaos of the capital city.

A self taught dancer, Heredia has performed in numerous theaters and Flamenco festivals around the world, and has worked with artists such as Antonio Canales, el Farru, Antonio Molina, el choro, Pepe Torres, and others. Currently she is still a guest artist of Flamenco tablaos such as El Cordobés, La Casa del Arte, Jardines de Zoraya and is considered one of the greatest dancers of the current tablao scene.
