Dance Director of Fabulous Feet an Inspiration to All

By Bill Cleary

Students from Fabulous Feet located in Bellmawr NJ will be participating in Bellmawr’s 4^th of July Parade on Friday beginning at 10:30 AM.

The school is owned by Bill Robinson and the dance director is Tara Robinson his wife.

Mrs. Robinson once suffered from a viral infection that paralyzed her for months. Beating all odds she has successfully brought the students to National championship level in two short seasons.

The dancers and Tara have been working hard on the particular piece of choreography they will be performing on Friday morning. This will be the 3rd year participating in this event. This dance is used for all their charity performances. 

The Bellmawr mayor and council have issued proclamations to all the dancers for their hard work in winning the NJ state dance competition with 18 awards last year and 22 this year. The governing body is also purchasing all the students jackets.

Most recently Tara & the dancers were hand selected to dance in the
National Cherry Blossom parade with the National All star tap team. They went and did so well that they were invited to participate in next year's parade in the opening dance. The School was also invited to send dancers to perform in Philadelphia's own Thanksgiving Day parade.

The parents and students of Fabulous Feet have formed a charity dance troop to help raise money every year for Childhood Cancer Research. They have raised almost $14,000 in two years for the Alex's Lemonade Stand foundation.  They have another benefit planned for this coming August.

Tara is truly an inspiration to these kids who range from all ages.  She not only gives her time and knowledge to the dancers but truly cares for each of them.

Tara husband Bill said, “To be able to stand and walk again is a gift. But to dance with these kids in and out of the classroom is truly remarkable.

“This story goes to show you no matter what life throws at you, there is always gold at the end of a rainbow.”
