Nia Robinson
Student Choreographer
is an energetic senior at Warner Robins HS and has spent the last four years dedicating herself to her theatre. She has worked tech for shows and has recently found joy in choreographing. She hopes to attend Columbus State University next fall for theatre performance and to inspire others as her favourite shows have inspired her. Some of Nia’s favourite past times include playing Xbox, practicing yoga, and watching anime. Thanks to her knowledge of pop culture and animation, Nia works well with kids and often surprises them with how well she can keep up. She has picked up sign language within the last year and intends to continue learning the language for the sake of better communication and incorporating it into her performances. As a motherly figure to others, Nia makes sure to take care of those around her and her warm and caring personality can be easily seen.
