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 existed who would often meet at various venues to dance. She didn't know how easy it could be to learn, and she hadn't known how much fun it could be! Robin 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. 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 her community 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! |
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.
