“The Digadoos team organises several dances a year in the Surrey area, where we regularly get a good turn-out of great dancers. We also organise occasional workshops to help us all to continue to improve our dancing. Trisha ran a great jazz steps workshop for us in 2012, working in detail on the various steps that make up the “Tranky Doo” routine. She coped brilliantly with the variety of levels of dancer (ranging from a few who were relatively new to jazz steps all the way to some very experienced dancers), and the feedback was great – everybody found the level of detail and repetition excellent, and she really put us through our paces. Expect to work hard…and have a ball! We’ll certainly be inviting Trisha back.”

Jazz is great fun and an essential skill for all dancers who are keen to dance well - as solo and with a partner. I'd recommend Trisha highly for all swing dance tuition and the way she teaches Jazz is particularly wonderful. Trisha explains the techniques in bite-size chunks and then drills you until the rhythm and movement become part of your body and a part of your dancing.

I can only highly recommend Trisha Sewell as a coach or dance teacher. I have had the pleasure to participate her classes in UK as well as having her to Denmark twice as a coach and dance teacher. She is one the few persons I know that are able to teach a class with her back to the students and they are still able to understand what she means. She describes everything very much into depth so you know you are not doing any mistakes. An indeed trustworthy person that one wants to embrace immediately when encountering her.

It was brilliant having you here and let's organise another visit sooner rather than later. Even some of my guys who would normally skip out of solo classes mentioned that they enjoyed your Saturday workshops - I nearly fell over when they said that!!!

Managed to get to the second day of Trish Sewell's Sugabomb workshop. Thank you Trish! I learnt loads. Trish teaches so very clearly. She broke things right down, demonstrating, clearly, over and over (so we could watch, over and over, bit by bit), and then drilled us and drilled us, so it really feels as if my muscles have had the opportunity to start getting things into their memory....and that they might then hold on to whatever I continue to PRACTICE! (I love that Trish makes improvement seem possible - accessible - by reminding us that practice really will make a difference.) It was both hard work and great fun. I enjoyed Trish's style of teaching: informed by the clarity of performance, going at a focused and sustained (but do-able) pace, warm and friendly AND committed to making sure we really were managing to learn what she was teaching us. And what a treat to have such a concentration on following! Thank you Trish! Thank you, Hayley, for all the smooth organising. Would really recommend the workshop. Hope we can have Trish back another time.

This was my first experience of a private lesson and I was impressed with how it was so informative, but at the same time, taught in a really relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. I really appreciated how personal the teaching was, and it was great to feel my dancing improve even in such a short space of time. Through explaining just a few simple ideas, the lesson was a really refreshing experience for how I think about the music and how to move to it
..J Walker - Durham If you want to improve your own dancing, (and speed past your friends in group classes!), I can strongly recommend some private lessons with Trisha. I found her an enthusiastic, kind and positive teacher…as well as a good taskmaster, which is exactly what you want for a private lesson. Don’t book just one – book a few, because it will give Trisha time to work on things with you and help you to improve over time. Thanks for all your help, Trisha ..J Davis - Surrey |
Dear Trisha, It was such a pleasure to have you here again as part of T.A Summer Swing festival 2013! Thanks so much for everything and all of the wonderful work and personal attention that you gave to our students! Our students adored you and your fun, energetic and informative workshops. Your authentic dance style and great knowledge of Lindy hop has been a terrific inspiration to our community. We are looking forward to seeing you here again someday!"
