ABOUT ROBIN:

A well-known and respected dancer and DJ, Robin's enthusiasm for
Argentine tango can be seen most clearly in his wholehearted
dedication to teaching. He believes that it is very important for
students to dance simply and musically from the very beginning.
Building that strong base of connection and musicality early, Robin
believes, will allow even very new beginners to feel comfortable and
confident on a crowded dance floor and will also lead to a more
comprehensive and fluid understanding of more complicated techniques
later on. Robin's teaching style reflects this philosophy, and his
students appreciate the humorous but still down-to-earth way he
presents the material.
Robin's travel schedule is a busy one, reflecting his growing
popularity as a teacher and tango DJ. Recently, he has taught in
Portland, Denver, Ann Arbor, Washington DC, Seattle, Berlin,
Edinburgh, San Diego, Providence, Pittsburgh and at the universities,
Yale, Princeton, and Cornell.

When he is not traveling, Robin stays busy in his hometown of New York
City teaching 3 group classes per week at Empire Dance Studio. On the
rare occasion that he is neither teaching or DJing, Robin can always
be seen on the dance floor, either working to expand his own
understanding of Argentine tango, or simply enjoying the connection he
works so hard to share with others.
