Elise Robinson started dancing at UC Davis in 2010. It took exactly one year of footwork fumbling until the Lindy bug bit, and then it bit hard. The years since have flown by, but she remains hooked because the dance constantly provides new challenges and chances for creativity. To her, the music, movement, and smiles behind Lindy Hop define happiness.

Things that Elise loves almost as much as (sometimes equal to) dancing include mountains, jogging, amateur photography, baby carrot sticks, and anything musical.
