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.
