Robinson, Roberta

Dancer from Finsthwaite.  Born 1890.

Her aunt, E. Robinson had attended classes run by Robert Carson Robinson.

She herself attended classes run by Stainton Robinson perhaps at the Lakeside Hall Windermere in about 1897. She was able to describe the classes in some detail.  

She later went to  Old Jos Robinson’s dance classes in Satterthwaite.  She was able to provide a notation for the Hoop Dance.

Information derived from an interview by Tom Flett with Roberta Robinson on 27 August 1962 (and original notes of the same date).
