GABRIELLE ROBINSON
Chief Inspiration Officer and founder of the Empowerdance group
 
With over 30 years of experience in the studio, Gabrielle has worked with companies, studios and in schools, dancing and running workshops, programs and classes.

The extent of her knowledge far outreaches the two studio locations, hundreds of students and team of staff she coaches and employs.  Being the director of South Australia’s original self built Registered Training Organisation for dance, whilst also creating the largest private provider of year 11 and 12 dance, Gabrielle takes pride in her ability to build a reputable and credible culture and community around her. 
 
A registered RAD teacher, Gabrielle also is a service provider for studios in need of support and has consulted for RAD regional advisory panel and Ausdance SA.
 
Her role in Empowerdance is one of leadership, support and influence as she consciously navigates the RTO landscape and consults with National Regulatory bodies to seek improved standards within the dance industry. Being a progressive leader whose interest is in empowering others to take a stand for their business, community and the industry, she has a transparent and educated approach to opening doors for the future generation of dance. 
 
Gabrielle is the facilitator of the Australian Dance festival VIP teachers room, giving her a deep foundation of experience and knowledge to be able to support Australia's dance teachers and studio owners toward continually improving their practices.
 
Aside from the work she does in the studio, Gabrielle has a passion for human behaviour and has extensive qualifications that support this passion both in and outside the studio space.
