Miss Robbins started her formal dance training at the age of 3 in Toronto, studying jazz, tap, ballet and pointe, performing professionally throughout North America. Although she has been captivated by Egyptian culture since her early teenage years, it was not until 2002 while traveling through Egypt, that she was first introduced to belly dance. Belly dance presented the perfect opportunity to merge her passion for dance and her love of Egyptian culture. Since then, she's returned to Egypt as well as Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and just got back from an incredible trip to Morocco.
