Roobi Gaskins is a NYC-based artist who specializes in dance, choreography, and wearable art. Although she has always had a passion for dance, she owes her movement genesis and training to 14 years of competitive figure skating, where she competed internationally as a member of the Puerto Rican national team. She began her formal dance training at Bard College where she received a BA in Dance with a focus in Africana Studies. Roobi has been a touring company member with Urban Bush Women since 2021. In addition, Roobi also holds a rigorous practice in house dance, where she teaches the form in the NYC area and participates in battles both nationally and internationally.
