About la mecca dance chicago

Laura Flores was born to dance and perform. Laura is a professional salsa dancer, performer, and instructor with 15 years of experience. Her salsa dance career started with Taino Dance Company, under the direction of Paulina Rodriguez, where she first learned her On2 Salsa basic. From there, Laura went on to being a principal dancer with Descarga Caribe, under the direction of Sekou McMiller.

Over the years, Laura has Co-Owned Mixed Motion Art Dance Academy, voted “Best Dance Studio” by the Chicago Reader. She also co-directed the MMA Dance Company which competed at events such as the Salsa Summit and the Ultimate Latin Dance Championship, and is currently 5 time Salsa Champion. Laura also has extensive ballroom training specifically in the American Rhythm style. With this training, alongside her dance partner, Laura choreographed a Latin piece entitled, Sabroso, for the prestigious jazz company, Giordano Dance Chicago.

In 2018, Laura moved to New York City to train with world re-known, Yamulee Dance Company, in the

boogie down Bronx for 2 years. An absolute dream come true! This experience elevated her dance career and life. She took a step further and formed a ladies duo partnership with the amazing Jillian Bruno, which has debuted in New York City.

Now, Laura has ventured off to start a new chapter of her dance career back in Chicago. She is Founder and Owner of La Mecca Dance Chicago, La Mecca Magazine, and La Mecca Dance Wear. La Mecca Dance Chicago is Chicago’s premier dance studio for training salsa On2. Laura’s expertise, knowledge, and experience from her training at Yamulee, is now being shared and cultivated in Chicago. She brought NYC (212) to Chicago (312) to create high level dancers. Laura’s passion and love for salsa On2 has more projects and endeavors on the horizon.
