Hi, I am Trisha

I’ve had the honor of owning Chicago Dance Connection since 2001, and what a journey it’s been! From my own childhood of dancing at a local studio to raising a dancer, it’s been incredibly fulfilling to now watch the next generation of dancers find their own passion and joy in movement. The energy and dedication that every attendee brings to our events is what fuels me, and I take immense pride in creating an environment where dancers can thrive and truly enjoy their convention experience.

As your host, I can’t wait to welcome back familiar faces and meet new friends along the way. If you ever need assistance with your plans, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!

We’re counting down the days to Jazz Camp this summer! Every year, more dancers, teachers, parents, and studios join the CDC family, and we’d love for YOU to be a part of it. Whether this is your first time with us or you’re already a CDC regular, we guarantee you’ll experience a convention you won’t want to miss.

Of course, we’ve got all the classics: dance classes, competitions, costumes, companies, teachers, and trophies. But what truly sets us apart is the way we build a community. At CDC, we dance, we laugh, and we create memories that last far beyond the weekend. Our faculty doesn’t just teach steps—they share their expertise, passion, and care for each dancer. That’s why I surround myself with such an incredible team.

At Jazz Camp, the dancers come FIRST. We’re all about creating an experience that’s not only positive and rewarding, but FUN! If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing. So come SOAR WITH THE EXPERIENCE at Jazz Camp, July 11-13, 2025. I can’t wait to see you there!
