Jasmine Robinson, born in Long Island, NY and raised in Scottsdale, AZ discovered her love for dance very young. She trained and competed in various dance styles, and attended the prestigious Master Ballet Academy studying the Vaganova Method, contemporary, jazz, improvisation, and partnering. Robinson was a member of the Phoenix Ballet before becoming a Trainee and Guest Artist with Complexions Contemporary Ballet, where she performed in Dwight Rhoden’s Snatched Back From the Edges and Love Rocks at notable venues like New York’s The Joyce Theater.
Driven by an interest in the intersection of dance and mental health, Robinson pursued higher education at the University of Southern California, majoring in Dance and minoring in Psychology. She further refined her skills at renowned institutions like Nederlands Dans Theater, Nuova Officina Della Danza, and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Through such training, she has performed works by acclaimed choreographers such as Christopher Wheeldon, Jiří Kylián, Justin Peck, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Liliana Barros, and Peter Chu.
Her exploration of choreography and interest in other artistic mediums like writing and painting have further amplified her creative voice. Robinson’s fascination with the relationship between mind and body continues to shape her dance journey. She seeks to investigate how gaining a nuanced understanding of the brain and nervous system can enrich movement, and is dedicated to analyzing the profound link between art and the human experience. Looking ahead, she aspires to join a contemporary ballet/concert dance company, though she remains open to ample opportunities within the arts.
