Robyn to train in London
Senior dancer Robyn will be heading to London to beging full-time training at Urdang!
Robyn Whyte (16) successfully auditioned for a number of top dance colleges including Laine Theatre Arts, but accepted a coveted scholarship for the world renowned Urdang Academy in Covent Garden, London where she will train full-time in dance and musical theatre. Robyn has already completed a year at PASS in Edinburgh while still attending regular dance lessons.
Popular performer
Robyn is a very friendly and popular senior student who always supports her peers, and her bright personality will be missed in class! She has achieved success in a wide range of dance styles since joining CSBS 3.5 years ago and studies ballet, tap, and jazz, and is a dancer in our Majors ballet programme. She has gained strong results in all her exams from Grades 3-6, Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate, and Solo Performance Awards all in just 3 years! Robyn is a determined and enthusiastic student and has enhanced her dance training with attendance at workshops and events across the UK including Move It and Can You Dance Conventions where she has been selected for a range of awards. She is an associate in the S-MB Associates, an accomplished singer, and an Ambassador for Dream Beams and Bars Ltd. Robyn also volunteered to participate in our 'Generation Ballet' project which took ballet into care homes.
With CSBS, she has danced as part of the Pasha Kovalev UK Tour, a number of community performances, and performed as a corps de ballet dancer in full length ballets with the Russian State Ballet. Last year Robyn successfully auditioned to join the Dancepoint team directed by Robert Hamilton which became famous nationally, reaching the finals of the TV show, "The Greatest Dancer"... We loved watching her on TV!
Unfortunately, like the rest of our 2020 leavers, we missed the opportunity to showcase her skills to our home audiences in our dance displays due to the cancellation of performances in the Covid-19 pandemic, but will undoubtedly see her perform again soon!
We wish her all the best for her training and look forward to following her career!
