Dance your truth.

La Leti Flamenco was born from a lifelong devotion to dance, culture, and the emotional fire of Flamenco. Led by Chicago-based professional dancer and educator of 20 years, Leticia Aravena, this space honors the deep traditions of Flamenco while embracing its evolving, expression.

My journey began with movement as my earliest language — a way to heal, express, and connect. When I found Flamenco, I found a home. It became the place where grief transformed into strength, silence into rhythm, and vulnerability into power.

I have trained with master artists across the U.S., Argentina, and Spain, and I bring that lineage into every class, rehearsal, and performance. As a performer, I aim to channel the raw emotional current of Flamenco. As a teacher, I guide students to embody rhythm, presence, and courage through technique, raw individual expression, and authenticity.

Here, Flamenco is not just a style of dance.

It is a path.

A culture.

A heartbeat.

A way of life.

My work bridges tradition and innovation, honoring Flamenco’s roots while expanding its reach into new audiences, new spaces, and new generations.
