Meghan Letizia (she/her) is a Washington, D.C.-based dancer, choreographer, and dramaturge. A lifelong athlete and mover, Meghan began her formal dance journey at the University of Vermont, where she studied Social Work and Dance. During this time, Meghan discovered her passion for creating, performing, and exploring dance in environments that prioritize trust and vulnerability, inclusivity, and community, and now brings this into her everyday engagement with DMV dance. She sees the choreographic process as a conduit for deepening self-understanding, and dance as an impetus for reflection for choreographers, dancers, and viewers alike. She also provides dramaturgy to several local choreographers, and is passionate about supporting artists in developing their creative visions with excitement, curiosity, and care.

Meghan teaches at Bethesda Dance Center, and is a co-founder of The Effervescence Collective. With the Collective, she has premiered her work constructive interference (Dance Place Co-Presentation Series, aurora, February 2024), and is currently developing a new work, An Evening with Supertramp (TBA, Spring 2025). The forthcoming work borrows from and expands on yes we’re open sorry we’re closed, a work that she originally premiered at KINTSUGI, a choreographer’s showcase produced by The Lion’s Den in collaboration with Joe’s Movement Emporium (April 2024). Meghan’s performance credits with other local DMV choreographers include The Kennedy Center’s Family Theatre, Capital One Hall’s Vault Theatre, Dance Place, Atlas Performing Arts Center, Joe’s Movement Emporium, and The Writer’s Center. Meghan most recently spent Summer 2024 training at Dance Italia in Lucca, Italy, where she trained under an international faculty of world-renowned artists and performed the works of Komoco Dance and Nunzia Picciallo.
