Meet our team
Yosery Petit Moncada
Founder and director of I Love Chicas Academy and ILoveChicas Experience.
32+ years of experience in dance, movement, and group leadership.
My journey began at the age of five in a talent school, where I discovered that dance was my language and my path. Since then, I have evolved with my craft, turning my talent into a life’s work.
My work includes Latin Dance in all its forms, Soca, Zumba (12+ years, adults, teens, kids, and Aqua Zumba), Twerk, strength training, and a strong focus on women’s pelvic floor health and hormones.
I mentor instructors, manage dance and fitness projects across multiple gyms, and design experience-based programs for women, adolescents, and children.
Perseverance, structure, and long-term growth define the way I work.
Living from my talent is an honor I deeply value.
Guilty pleasure: Always taking care of others.Popcorn.
My free time, you can find me:
Watching movies or just sitting down doing nothing.

Thanks to my Colombian roots, I carry passion for dance in every part of my body and make sure to share it with my students in every dance class because I believe dance is the best way to heal the soul and clear the mind. I have a natural spark that can make you smile and help your body flow naturally."
