Robyn Picard

Robyn was born into and raised by a dancing family, with her parents being Ballroom, Latin &  Swing Dance Instructors as well her older siblings.

      She started taking Jazz, Tap, Acro, Ballet, & Modern Stage at the age of 4 and then went on to learn the various styles of partner dancing that would groom her to follow in her family’s footsteps.

      She has taught thousands of people, kids & adults, since January 1990 around the Lower Mainland, teaching classes through the Maple Ridge Arts Council, teaching in the public and private schools, doing choreography for wedding “first dances”, and other various special events.

      Her goal is to continue to facilitate the growing interest in partner dancing for young and old alike, and to introduce dance into more and more peoples lives as a great form of fitness & fun, a wonderful way to enjoy each other, and to socialize with the great groups of people in the continually growing dance communities throughout the lower mainland.  

NOTE: 

• "All Styles Night" (Music played-both theme nights styles or music combined)

• "Latin/Ballroom Theme Night" (music played-Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Salsa, Meringue, Waltz & Foxtrot, American Tango, Argentine Tango & Swango

• "Swing Theme Night" (music played - Single rhythm Jive, Triple rhythm jive (East Coast Swing), West Coast Swing, Street Hustle, Country 2-step, Night Club 2-step - slow romantic ballads) & Swango

These dances are intended as practice dances for all levels of dancers with guidance and answers to questions to anyone who wishes it.  Friends & relatives are welcome also.  To keep it fair to all Robyn will be available to review material already learned only, but feel free to watch other dancers, you might be able to pick up new steps that way also!   Or be inspired to take more lessons to learn them! 

Group or Private lessons are available from either me (Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows) or my dad Don Picard (Langley, Port Coquitlam, White Rock)
