Trisha

Trisha is a natural rhythmical mover, having been dancing since the age of 5, where she won several competitions in Ballet, Modern Dance, Classical, Acrobatics and Tap Dancing.

More recently, her style consists primarily of Lindy hop, Rhythm Tap, Jazz Movement, Blues, 20's Charleston, Balboa, Jive and Salsa.

As a musician specialising in piano and wind instruments, Trisha has a deep understanding of music and musicality, which is self evident in her dancing and teaching.

Her HR and Project management skills, have enabled her to organise one of the Europe's finest weekend dance camps, "The Goodnight Sweetheart".

In 1998 Trisha joined Joseph to teach for the UK's largest dance organisation, but more recently she teaches Lindy Hop, Blues, Charleston and Rhythm Tap across the UK and Europe.

A very keen student of the Jazz / Swing era and Inspired by the likes of Josephine Baker, Nicholas Brothers, Berry Brothers and Bill Bojangles, Trisha is also a talented performer, having performed with the Cotton Clubbers, the Harlem Hotshots and Chester Whitmore and alongside many top swing dance performers.

More recently, Trisha has been Choreographer for one of the UK's premier all female jazz dance performance group "The Sugar Mamas"
