BIOGRAPHY::
Latosha Mitchell is creator/owner of Femmeography in Heels LLC originally from Brooklyn, NY and currently residing in Easton, PA. Latosha’s passion for dance began at a young age, but she did not decide to take it seriously until I graduated from college. Her dance training includes jazz, African, modern, hip hop, and Street Stilettos. After training extensively and becoming obsessed with dancing in heels, Mitchell created a brand of her own - Femmeography in Heels - sensual, sexy, seductive & mature movements choreographed and performed in heels, for dancers and non-dancers alike. My goal is to bring forth positivity and inspiration to others through Femmeography in Heels. I currently teach Femmeography in Heels classes in NYC and PA, and I am a dancer with Guilty Pleasures Cabaret, performing in various venues across the country, and Mika Romantic & Company.
