Aidan Robbins
Moving Artist
About
Aidan Robbins started dancing at the age of three. She grew up in southern Delaware dancing as a part of the Diamond Dance Company and Tatiana Akinfieva Dance Academy study mainly ballet, contemporary, jazz, and pointe. She got one on one training in ballet partnering when performing in classical ballets such as the Nutcracker and an additional spring production each year. Some of her highlighted roles include Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, Lead War in Coppelia, and Cinderella in Cinderella. In 2020, at the age of 16, she started training online with Kanyok Arts Initiative (KAI), a New York based collective. As quarantine ended, she began traveling to NYC to train in-person. For about a year and a half, she traveled each week to spend half the week training in New York at KAI. There her training expanded to Musical Theater, Hip-hop, Horton, Graham, acting, and voice, along with the styles she grew up training in. The incredible faculty inspired her to have the courage to pursue a career in dance. KAI introduced her to the instructor that gave her her first dance job, Danielle Diniz. She participated in the Boston Conservatory Summer Intensive the summer before her senior year of high school. She spent the first two of the three weeks choreographing her first solo that she used to audition for the BFA program that last week in the summer. After her acceptance, she knew that is where she would end up. She is now a current Junior Contemporary Concert Dance Major getting an emphasis in composition. While here, she has trained in
Ballet, Limon, Horton, Graham, release technique, contact skills, improv,
ballet partnering, etc. During her time so far, she has performed works
by Lydia Zimmer, Alissa Cardone, Christina Chan, Nicole Von Arx etc.
She has also produced several Choreography works including her
most recent project in collaboration with a Berklee Video Game
Scoring major, Zack Thomas, titled Entropy (A Resentful
Dialogue). Over the past two years she has begun
to explore her interest in commercial dance
through hip-hop and heels electives, and
background dancing for Berklee
singers in live performances
and music videos.
