EMILY ROBISON

Creator of The Dance Resource

Dance Artist and Advocate

Emily Robison is a dance artist, advocate, and communications consultant. With 20 years of experience in the world of dance - from performer, educator, and choreographer to administrator, technician, and grant panelist - Emily has moved throughout multiple facets of what makes dance happen (and keep happening).

When Emily moved to Raleigh in 2022, she noticed the local dance scene was fragmented from an audience's perspective. It was difficult to find who was teaching, creating, performing, and hosting dance. After starting her communications consultancy in 2025, she's realized the local dance community needs a reliable source to find information about dance in the Triangle.

She's now combining a lifetime of dance experience with 7 years of professional communications experience to create the most complete online resource for dance in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metropolitan area.
