However, during her Senior Year in High School she was involved in a serious car accident that nearly took her life and her leg. She continued her love for dance and movement as a cheerleader in Jr High then on to Dance Company and Drill Team in High School. Her hope is that they feel the same excitement and joy for Tap Dancing that she has today!īrandy began dancing at a young age stomping on the rodeo barrels in her grandparents backyard. They have brought her the greatest pleasure letting her teach them, as well as watching them flourish in all the other wonderful styles of dance over the years. The girls mostly young ladies now, that she has been teaching over the years have become like pseudo daughters to Robin. Robin truly enjoys teaching the Adult ladies, and considers them to be her very good friends. Even with a studio ownership change and company/studio name change Robin has stayed true as a wonderful Tap Teacher ever since. Robin quickly went from 'student' to 'teacher' with this studio as a favor to the owner. In her late 30’s, Robin met some ladies that were taking adult tap lessons and her love of tap retuned in an instant. However, she learned a lot about the sports world, football, soccer, baseball etc. Robin's sister went off to college and Robin started a family resulting in 6 boys which kept her from continuing her dancing. These sweet sisters stayed a duo until Robin was 18 years old. Robin and her sister became too advanced to tap with kids their own age. So if she was going to be able to dance, she had to keep up with the 7 year olds. Tap, ballet, jazz were the main dance styles 'that many years ago.' Robin's mother put her in the same classes as her older sister. Robin started dancing at the age of 4 with her older sister who was 7.
