As a child Tricia began her love of
dance under her mother’s careful eye. She then went on to study with Victor
Moreno and quickly advanced through the ranks of Ballet South to a soloist
at age fifteen. Her training in classical ballet has taken her to the
Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet in Narberth, PA, The Rock School of the
Pennsylvania Ballet Co., and the Marion Tonner Ballet Center in
Philadelphia.

At the
age of eighteen she danced for the Maryland Ballet Co. Two years
later she traveled to Columbia, SC and performed many roles with the
Columbia City Ballet. While there she had the good fortune to study
with the famous ballerina, Gelsey Kirkland. As a guest artist with
the Delaware Dance Company, Tricia performed at the Grand Old Opera House
in Wilmington and at the Regional Dance America Festival in Ohio. |

she learns everyday are passed on in her classroom to the young dancers of
