About The Visionary: The Origin Story of R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. Inc.
Angelia Lewis (Founder and Creator of R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. Inc.) is a native of Goldsboro, North Carolina who lived in Washington D.C. most of her early years before settling in Baltimore, MD in 1990. She graduated from UMBC that same year with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Systems. Angelia wears many hats; not only is she the Artistic Director of the R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. dance troop, but an entrepreneur in the areas of health, wellness, and beauty. Throughout her business endeavors Angelia believed that her divine calling and purpose is to educate, empower, enlighten, and elevate those around her.
As a single mother of two sons who are on the Autism Spectrum; Isaiah Lewis who is a member of R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T., and Donte’ Lewis who is a independent DJ and music producer, Angelia is a firm believer who believes that trials come to make you strong; and one must continue to find joy in the journey. The inception of R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. came to Angelia after hearing a 1980’s-inspired “Planet Rock” type beat that her eldest son Donte’ had produced in 2013. Even though it didn’t have a definitive title, Angelia listened to the beat as it suddenly brought about an idea for a dance troop. The name “Ricochet” came to her as a God-given vision prior to the group’s performance at the “Uplifting Minds II” talent competition. They were recognized as Baltimore’s Best Dance Group in 2014.
R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. continues to grow and define their style of dance and creative expression. They define their style of dance as ‘Interpoptation’, which combines dance styles such as interpretive dance, popping, and miming; as well as some forms of freestyle. They are known to wow the crowds with their audience participation, medleys and tributes. Some of which include The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, The Blues Brothers, James Brown, and The Temptations. They have performed all around the Baltimore area; such as Artscape, Light City Baltimore, and Powerfest. They opened up for the UniverSoul Circus, and even performed at events in New York, Virginia, and even Los Angeles, California. R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. has even expanded to incorporate aspiring singers in their performances, now known as R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. and Friends.
Becoming a part of R.I.C.O.C.H.E.T. is more than just being in a dance group. It brings about a life-changing experience to those who are a part of the organization, and those who watch their performances.

I have seen a few performances and have been astounded by the talent gathered by Angelia Lewis. I have seen Angelia herself perform a mime along with her son to gospel. It is truly a sight and sound to behold. I plan on making regular contributions to their organization. I saw her son perform as the Grinch at our caregiver event on December 10, 2022. I am a person who easily cries when my soul is touched. They touch my soul. 💖
