Modern Jive - Deb Robinson Profile Picture Updated - Jan 2026

Deb Robinson

Deb has been sharing the joy of social partner dancing in Christchurch for over 20 years alongside her husband, Matt. Beginning with ballroom dance in high school, she later discovered modern jive – a fun, accessible style that invites connection and self-expression. Deb now teaches dance full time and regularly competes and judges internationally. She believes dancing is for everyone and that you don’t need to be “good” at it to feel the benefits. Her classes are welcoming, social, and focused on building confidence, connection, and the simple joy of moving together.
