“Working alongside Tricha, I have experienced firsthand that besides being a gifted performer, she is one of the smartest and dedicated people I have ever met. Tricha has a keen eye for detail and knows how to explain to individuals and groups how they can improve what they are doing. She is punctual, respectful of everyone in the room, creative, and a lot of fun to work with.”

“Tricha is a fabulous dancer, teacher, and person to be around! Beyond the requirement that it had to be cool and fun, my fiancé and I had no idea what kind of choreography we wanted for our wedding, but after one hour-long conversation Tricha helped us hatch a great plan. Rehearsals were fun and dynamic - they never felt like a chore. One thing I really appreciated about Tricha is that she tailored her teaching style to the individual. I can more or less move but struggle to hear beats, whereas my fiancé had barely danced at all in the past but has a great ear. She figured that out immediately and helped us learn in our own ways. The final dance was a hit with our wedding guests. I really can't recommend this enough for whatever dance project you have going: Go for Tricha!”

“Tricha is an alumni of the collegiate dance team GW Raas, which dances a traditional style of dance from Gujarat, India. During my time as captain of GW Raas, Tricha proved to be a big help taking time out of her schedule to come critique and clean our performance. With such a high IQ for various forms of dancing, she was able to quickly pick out mistakes and effectively correct dancers while teaching them what they are doing wrong. At the same time, she was able to holistically break down our set to help us create better flowing choreo and more dynamic moments in our performance. Through her dedication to her old team and the dance form of Raas/Garba, it was clear to see that Tricha is extremely talented and passionate about what she does.”

“Tricha was such a great mentor. She was very dedicated and taught us with utmost precision. It was my first time going for dance classes and it was a great first experience. I never got bored and I felt extremely happy during the classes. Tricha would never fail to engage all of us and make us feel at home. She motivates us before our performances and pushed us to perform our best. She would make sure we corrected every minute mistake and perfect the choreography. I'm so glad I got to be a part of her dance classes.”

“Tricha is an amazing dancer and an inspirational dance teacher. She inspires you to dance better and she teaches dance like no other. Her teaching style is quite unique and something that stays with you. She is very professional and punctual as well. My experience with her has been very interesting and different. I always look forward to her dance classes as they are very creative in nature. She doesn't just teach you dance moves. She teaches you movement and helps you understand yourself as a dancer. And most importantly she helps you become a better dancer session by session. Highly Recommended.”

“Tricha is not only an incredible dancer but one of the most creative and kind people I've ever known. She helped choreograph multiple dance sequences for our wedding party which were performed during our reception. As the bride, I was absolutely blown away but the attention to detail that our closest friends and family were able to pull off was beyond impressive. She worked endlessly with each one, and from what I heard, was patient and kind throughout the entire process. I found this to be true when I worked with her to perform a dance for my brother-in-law's wedding in June. I'm not the best dancer, but she continued to work with me and took one-on-one time with me to perfect my steps. She is so professional and highly skilled.. beautiful dancer! I adore Tricha and have complete confidence that you will feel the same!”

“I love films and I want to build my own production house one day. This program has given me the opportunity to learn how the filmmaking process works, from script writing to post production. By being a leader who gives and takes criticism well, Tricha not only creates a supportive environment for our team, but also sets an example for the kind of leader I’d like to be. I’ve learned how to network, lead projects, and pitch my ideas throughout the program. With the experiences I’ve had thus far, the goal of building my own production house has become more attainable.”

“This program was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Until now, I’ve only worked in healthcare, but here, I turned my passion for digital art into a potential career. Tricha taught me how to think like a graphic designer, and she gave me projects to build out my portfolio. It’s challenging, but I accomplished more than I expected. I have a new confidence in myself and a plan for the next steps of my creative journey; this was a guided experience that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else.”

In this program, everyone brings a different perspective and approach to the table. I’ve learned how to identify my team member’s strengths, collaborate successfully, and create something we’re all proud of. This program has been challenging, but it is totally worth it!”

“To be honest, I’m getting more than I expected. Between the personal development sessions, freedom to select our own projects, and the network of mentees, I feel so supported in my growth. Impostor syndrome made me nervous at first, but this program has been a safe space for me to explore the scary-but-exciting world of creativity as a career. I went from being too shy to share my ideas in meetings, to directing multiple short projects. Tricha’s guidance and mentorship has allowed me to move beyond my comfort zone in a potentially life-changing way.”

“Tricha’s mentorship style is one of the best things about this program. Tricha is tough but nurturing, and she pushes us to become better versions of ourselves. She challenges us with interesting projects to grow new skill sets. During a difficult project, Tricha was with me at every step to make sure I could handle it. I’ve learned new skills and a whole new way of thinking -- I’m more intentional with my opinions and creative decisions, which is something I will take far beyond this program.”

“As a creative, it’s so important to have a community where you’re encouraged and validated. Not only did I develop new skills through creative projects, but I had support to start new projects with Tricha’s guidance. In this program, people have your back, which is a refreshing difference from other environments. It is a safe space where your ideas and voice are encouraged. Despite different expertises, people were comfortable bouncing ideas off of each other. I'm so happy to have found like-minded people through this program, so I’m staying on the team for a whole year!”

My colleagues say…
“Tricha was a choreographer, teacher, and organizer with Rhythmaya Dance in Washington DC for about three years. She first wowed us with her writing skills, no joke, I had her re-word some of our website and our curriculum, not surprising from a Georgetown graduate. Other than being super smart she was a great asset to our team because she had a lot of creativity and was very precise with when she taught her intricate choreography. She taught both young teens and also adults so all ages benefited from her instruction. We were so lucky to have her and miss her in the states but I’m sure she is doing great things across the world. Don’t forget to ask her to bake you an eclair if you do a good job in class, she bakes too!”

“Tricha's performance on our board was wonderful. She definitely exceeded in all the tasks that she was assigned and worked hand-in-hand with other board members very diligently. Throughout the year, she provided valuable insight in regards to not only the tech committee, but for many others as well including hospitality, social, and sponsorship committees. Her planning skills and her desire to want to make RAS IX as best as it could be was seen with her actions throughout the season and during the event weekend as well. Tricha was a fantastic board member who displayed a lot of leadership qualities throughout the organization. She initially took ownership over the Sponsorship tracker sheet when it wasn't being effective and contributed a lot of productive ideas for other committees as well. I have no doubt that she would be a great leader in whatever future organizations she joins.”

“Tricha and I worked together on a dance project she brought to Washington, DC. She planned and executed the project professionally and seamlessly from start to finish, and all of us who took part couldn't be happier with the final product. She has an incredible eye for bhangra choreography and a keen sense for formations and spacial elements, more generally. She's got great energy and enthusiasm as a teacher and is very willing to incorporate the input of others. I recommend working with her on any project without hesitation!”
