UK Dance Dream Revisited

ROBYN’S UNITED KINGDOM TRAVEL BUG

There are many places that we are hoping to get Robbie's Travel Bugs to Visit.
Some she has traveled to and others that she will never, now Forever 28, have the chance to visit.
We wish her TB to dance her memory across The World.
This Travel Bug is hoping to hitch rides to THE UNITED KINGDOM ~ dancing its way all across all across the countries, with visits in Scotland and Wales, too!

RobynApril (then known as Robyn-April Rivard-Darby) appeared on a 1998 cover of LINEDANCER  Magazine (published by Clare House Southport) along with Jo Thompson, John Robinson and Alan Livett.    After her death, the March 2009 issue featured an article: REMEMBERING ROBYN.  England is a place that Robbie not only loved, but IS Loved.

We'd love for her TB to spend years traveling all around England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales ~ lands near and dear to her heart.

ROBYN’S  UNITED KINGDOM  TRAVEL BUG

Great Britain, actually the entire UK, became a place near and dear to Robbie’s heart.    In 1998, RobynApril choreographed the first known internationally renowned line dance to hip hop music: Will Smith's MEN IN BLACK.  She named her dance Dancin' In Black (aka D.I.B.).  It became so widely popular that she was invited to tour the UK on Jo Thompson's 1998 LINE DANCE UK TOUR.  So,  Robbie got her passport, took the last month of her senior year of high school off and hopped on a plane to take her “Across The Pond”.  She loved England, forming relationships there that lasted the balance of her too short life.  Though Robbie’s earth plane life has ended, it is our hope to get her Travel Bug back to and all across the UK in her memory. It would make her smile to be traveling there again.

This United Kingdom trackable is attached to a laminated card, sharing part of the story of RobynApril Rivard-Darby Maguire, who died tragically, at 28 years old, in 2008.
