What others have to sayTrisha is a great teacher and an awesome performer. Her best feature is her capacity of creating a friendly and relaxed environment with her students, whilst being extremely prepared and ready to share all her knowledges. People love her at first sight, because she's a real professional and she's extremely humble. She works well with her colleagues and tends to get over problems instead of creating them. She works extremely well, she's always on time and respects the schedule no matter what, and she's ready to work with different partners, even if it is hard, because of her great experience. She's reliable, she has great competence and huge artistic and human skills
I have had the amazing experience of teaching and performing with Trisha at many Festivals around England and Ireland over recent years and it's a magical experience.
Trisha has such a wealth of knowledge that I learn every time and the response from students afterwards is always amazing. Teaching with Trisha has actually reinvigorated my own teaching and I marvel at her teaching methods that she combines with both her historical knowledge, her love of the dance and her ability to have a good laugh! ..Scott Cupit, SwingPatrol London |
