Robinson
Sydney Robinson is a recent graduate from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology. During my time at UMHB, I was a college athlete on the Acrobatics and Tumbling team. My journey began with 12 years as a competitive gymnast, followed by being apart of my high school dance team, Cy-Woods Crimson Cadettes. My friendship with Hayli started when my dance journey began about 7 years ago. She helped me score in the highest level and become a certified pre-professional level 2 with acrobatic arts. I also have assisted with Hayli and coached for other studios in my college town for a few years. AcroDance is very close to my heart, it has helped fuel my passion and grow a sense of determination in me. I hope to assist others in achieving their dreams, and offer guidance and support in an environment that is both nurturing and positive!
