Drew Travis Robinson

Raised in Largo, Florida, Drew Travis Robinson studied various genres with Tutterow Dance Academy throughout his youth. He was later accepted into the Dance program at the Pinellas County Center for the Arts (PCCA) at Gibbs High School where he received the Arete Award, honoring him as a rare force of creativity and vision throughout PCCA.

On scholarship at the University of Arizona, Robinson performed and choreographed multiple works annually. During his time in Arizona he was welcomed as a frequent guest at Artifact Dance Project, provided instruction across multiple studios, was an Ambassador of Dance for African American Student Affairs receiving Chaka Khan, was selected by Colin Connor to perform at the Jose Limon International Dance Festival, and assisted in the research and development of various projects involving motion capture for dance preservation.

While his competition years gave him versatility, Robinson is most at home with modern. He has taught this and more as a university employee, received the Gertrude Shurr Memorial Award for his exemplary abilities, and was invited by the Limon Dance Company to reprise an old role following graduation.

After university, Robinson was honored to perform various leads as well as choreograph during his time at Florida Dance Theatre, and later performing with Tampa Ballet Theatre. Drew is currently part of Prestige National Talent Competition while also a permanent instructor with Just Dance Academy in Holiday, Florida. Additionally, Drew is an inaugural member of ATLAS Modern Ballet, adjunct faculty at his alma mater, PCCA, and a teaching artist with Sarasota Ballet's Dance The Next Generation program.
