Meet your instructor, Tricia Diamond @bosstwerk, founder of Seattle Twerkshop! Born and raised in Los Angeles and New Orleans, Tricia was exposed to dance and music at an early age. She grew up in a family who worked with and were luminaries in the entertainment industry. Her immersion in music started at the age of 3 when she started playing violin and started dancing Zulu and Mapouka African dance styles with her family. She later trained in tap, jazz, and ballet while continuing traditional African and African Diaspora dance styles.  Boss has been traveling and dancing her way through Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa, bringing second-line magic and twerk wherever she goes. She was often sourced to choreograph parades and dance at festivals.  She next taught high school and college math and English in the Netherlands before returning home to the United States in 2008 where she continued working as a high school and college educator. She resumed teaching Afrobeats, twerk, and second-line in 2012.
