Trisha Tan

May 21, 2021/ Rima Chaeff

Trisha spent her youth dancing at Pacific Ballet Academy, starting in the pre-ballet program and graduating with the 2016-2017 Studio Company. While training at PBA, she attended summer intensives with American Ballet Theatre, The Rock School for Dance Education, UC Irvine Summer in the Arts, and Joffrey San Francisco.

Trisha is currently finishing her last semester at UC Berkeley, where she is studying Sociology and Spanish. She has been a leader in the Berkeley Dance Community, becoming co-president of Danceworx, the university's oldest student-run dance organization, in her junior year. She has co-choreographed two contemporary pieces and coordinated an open style routine for Danceworx, and she continues to lead a variety of their workshops.

Following her graduation, she will be pursuing a juris doctor degree and exploring careers in public interest. Until then, she is excited to be back at her home studio!
