Not only was Trecia the choreographer and lead dancer but she served as production director as well. Trecia performed for our military (US Army) while making time to provide service to the children of the Armed Forces by hosting dance workshops and choreography clinics. Her dancing feet led her to many other international performances including dancing in Italy, Spain, Germany, Jordan, Turkey, and Belgium. After dancing around the world, she returned to her home of Houston, Texas to inspire the next generation to take their performances to “X-Treme” levels of dance!​​

I was invited to the Heel Thrill class by Brittney Love who has known Trecia for a number of years. My first response was girl "i can not dance" she was like girl just come on! Exotics Aerobics is amazing! Its not only a great fun workout, but it gives you a chance to learn a little dance while being sexy! Ive attended many aerobics and zumba classes and this is by far is my favorite! I'd encourage any female of any age to attend the class! The class makes you feel confident and sexy while getting a great workout in!
