Spin City Dance: About Spin City Dance

Robin's enjoyed dancing since her youth. Her first experience with dance competition occurred in a fifth grade talent contest -- winning a second place ribbon with her own original choreography! However, she didn't really tap into her natural talent until junior high and high school when she was active in Girls' Choir, Cheerleading, Marching Band (as a "flag girl"), and Show Choir.

She fell (gracefully) back into dancing over ten years later when a friend had her tag along to a local country bar where they danced country two-step, swing, hustle, cha-cha and line dances. She knew these dances existed and she knew there were studios where people danced ballroom, but she hadn't known a community of dancers and other organizations existed that would often meet at various venues to dance just for fun!

Robin got hooked. She quickly picked up the dances through local lessons and practice. She was also "discovered" by dance coaches and started training with them. Within two years of starting to dance, Robin was winning gold medals and top placements in her division. She is now ranked in a very competitive division called "All-Stars." This is a level above Advanced where she dances with and against other pros and semi-pros.

It remains important to Robin to continue competing in her division and moving up. It challenges her to work on her dancing at all times and to serve as a positive example to her students. Eight years later, she is dancing Pro-Am competitions with her students who are now winning gold medals of their own!

Robin is active in promoting dance in Central Virginia, particularly in Orange, Virginia, by teaching, hosting dances and volunteering. If you would like more information about Robin or lessons with her, please feel free to write to her today!
