Tricia Gomez

Tricia Gomez is the Director of HYPE Studios Cultural Arts Center in Los Angeles County and the President of Dance -- In a Box Publishing. She is considered a pioneer in the pre-school and elementary hip hop field, often daring to go where others thought impossible.

Her unique hip hop teaching methods have landed her on the Dr. Phil Show and as the Head Judge of the TV show "Dance Revolution," which was loosely based on her product "Hip Hop In a Box." Her philosophy on teaching kids hip hop has made her the subject of countless articles in dance and fitness magazines across the US and Canada.

A few of Tricia's credits include dancing for the Los Angeles Laker Girls, Universal Dance Association, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm and choreographing for Saved By the Bell, the Laker Girls, The Clipper's Spirit Dance Team and Dance the Magic (which has been awarded Top Producer of Guest Talent at Disneyland for the past 5 years). Tricia was recently awarded the Viewer's Choice Dance Instructional Video of the Year on DanceMedia.com!
