I am Robin from Florida, I am almost 30! Grrr.I am married and have two daughters. By day I work full time as a Real Estate agent, by night I teach ballet to beginners through intermediate dancers and have been teaching for a little over three years now. I haven't danced since I was three, I was a late starter due to being a serious competitive swimmer for many years. I had to give that up because the chlorine was killing me and so was the asthma. After having taken ballet on and off throughout my adolescence and teen years,I finally found a teacher I really adored, she is my mentor and was my inspiration for becoming a teacher.She is a former professional dancer and the greatest technician I have ever known. Her knowledge of ballet technique is truly astounding.
I don't have a college degree in anything. Although I have studied "on my own" for many years.I do plan to take the RAD Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies course in the near future and go back to college, I finally have the direction now I needed when I was 17. Go figure.What I wouldn't give to know then what I know now! LOL
My ultimate goal is to pass my RAD Advanced 2 exam, lose the day job and teach full time. That's my five year plan!
