In the Commercial Dance workshops, Robyn will guide you boldly into the world of music videos! The workshops begin with a warm-up, followed by a learning basic steps and techniques, and finally, practice of the choreography designed by Robyn. The workshops offer both fun and a challenge for the body and mind.
Alkeistason workshopille et tarvitse mitään aiempaa tanssikokemusta. Alkeisjatkotason workshop puolestaan antaa enemmän haastetta ja sopii tanssia harrastaneille, esimerkiksi commercial dance -alkeistunneille osallistuneille. Päälle kannattaa pukea mukavat liikuntaan sopivaan vaatteet ja ottaa mukaan tanssikengät tai sisälenkkarit.
The heels workshop teaches you how to dance naturally and confidently in heels: how to move powerfully and smoothly at the same time. After a varied warm-up, Robyn teaches the basic elements of heels technique, such as walking and weight transfer. Finally, you will immerse yourself in a choreography designed by Robyn, which creatively combines precise details and fluid movement.
The heels workshop is easy to join, and you don’t need any previous experience with heels dancing. If you don’t have special heels shoes, you can bring any high heels you have at home, as long as the heels are intact. You can also join the workshop without high heels. We recommend wearing clothes that are suitable for movement and make you feel confident. The workshop also includes floor technique training, so you can also bring knee pads or leg warmers to protect your knees.

Robyn works as a professional dancer, actor, and singer, as well as a freelancer choreographer and dance teacher. They hold a Master’s degree in Performing Arts from London Studio Centre and trained as a professional dancer at Stockholm’s Balettakademien.
Robyn is a well-known figure in the heels, commercial, and jazz dance industries, both nationally and internationally.
They currently teach weekly classes in Helsinki and Tampere.
In their teaching Robyn strives to create an uplifting and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome to learn and move. Robyn’s style of teaching is highly pedagogical, with a strong emphasis on building dance technique from the ground up. This involves breaking steps into smaller movements, and through repetition, incorporating them into choreography.
Last summer, you may have seen Robyn singing and dancing on Viking Line’s M/S Cinderella. As a performer, they have worked at Vaasa City Theatre during the 2021–2022 season as well as with Ismo Dance Company in 2022. In addition, they have appeared in various TV productions, such as the Emma Gala in 2020, Idols Finland in 2019, and Tähdet, tähdet! in 2019, as well as on Saara Aalto’s Wild Wild Wonderland summer tour in 2018.
Robyn’s biggest inspiration is music and often musicality and storytelling are present in their choreographies!
