About me: F.A.C.E. Coach, Choreographer and Dance Teacher- I love dance, music, theater and being creative. I love going to the movies, theater and Barbados. I'm a Mama's girl, typical Sagittarian and a loyal friend. Now that I'm grown up, I want to be happy, make others happy and have lots of fun while doing work that heals, educates and entertains. I want to rid myself of all limiting thoughts and inhibitions. I want to drown in positivity free of any judgement whatsoever. I vow to stay away from negative people and surround myself with those who are joyful, supportive and happy--reciprocity is key. I'm done with people pleasing and no longer concern myself with people who are negative and insecure. It's finally time for me to be happy and to laugh. I'm often asked "who have you worked with" as if that defines who I am or how good I am. I've worked with many celebrities and I treat all clients the same. I really don't like to give resume and want everyone to have their own experience of me and my work. I'm hands on, caring and passionate about what I do or I will stop doing it. A client's celebrity doesn't blind me to who they really are as a person. Who they "really" are is more important to me. I believe in trust and honesty and don't believe in telling lies. I do sometimes stretch the truth if it means sparing someone's feelings and maybe mine, lol.
I read a T-shirt which said "this is not the life I ordered (thanks Fred)." It's time I put in my order.

Hi Robin !! I've been thinking of you lately so I thought I would just stop by to say hi. Hope everything is good with you. Keep your good vibes :) Charlotte
Hey Robin! How are you? I used to take your class at Steps :o) It's been a while since I've taken Hip-Hop classes, but I've continued to do Bellydancing... I also moved down to D.C... do you by any chance know of any good dance studios to recommend? I don't mind exploring, but I always figure it's easier to go by recommendation! haha.
Miss You and being in class! Ive just been busy with my acting classes on monday nights and auditioning for stuff. Classes will be finishing soon so i cant wait to jump back right into training with you! I miss you, how are things going? Ralph R.
