In 1996, Trisha began her studies of Egyptian Cabaret at Kismet School of Dance in Salt Lake City, Utah, falling hard for the movements and
Middle Eastern rhythms.
Free style break dance was a major focus in high school and college, from the culture of break dance and love of break beats, Trisha was able to quickly tie in the locking and isolating movements of Belly
Dance.

respect to the dancers that have paved the way.
