One day Kaycee’s mom asked Tricia if she minded to choreograph a hip-hop solo for Kaycee’s next competition season. But this was considered unwise and cocky these days. Many judges had their objections and pre-conceptions against the sometimes vulgar lyrics with these lewd, unsmooth movements and considered it impropriated for kids. Not a good chance for winning. | One day Kaycee’s mom asked Tricia if she minded to choreograph a hip-hop solo for Kaycee’s next competition season.

<!--It was very special moment for Tricia and Kaycee. First time with a hip-hop solo; she killed it. First time choreographed a hip-hop solo for a ten years old kid and she won the nationals. These were moments when Tricia and Kaycee formed a bound beyond mentor-student relationship, despite their huge age difference and today they are spending often some free-time together, joking around and giving each other some sarcastic side-kicks and keep it beyond business and training. Working with Kaycee changed completely Tricia’s attitude about kids and she became a teacher and mentor for many very young dance talents. --> | <!--It was very special moment for Tricia and Kaycee.
