Skye Robinson

Teaches at The Brookline Ballet School

Skye’s ballet and body conditioning work spans over four decades, incorporating time-honored principles of classical ballet technique to create beautifully toned, lithe, graceful, intelligently strong, muscular bodies. She has studied ballet from childhood, both in Boston and her hometown, New York. She is well acquainted with both cecchetti and vaganova syllabi and her teaching is a classic American mixture of both. She performed in chanber companies in Boston and NYC, but ended that part of her professional life after the birth of her children. She says “One of my major ‘eureka!’ moments was the discovery that tip-top fitness can be achieved simply by doing housework on the demi-pointe.” 

She has taught ballet and floor barre conditioning to all ages, from pre-school to pre-professional. She additionally holds a graduate degree in special education with a specialty in dance therapy, which she practiced for four years in Massachusetts public schools.
