Today we’d like to introduce you to Shan Robinson.
Shan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Senior year of graduating from North Atlanta High School instead of going to college I decided to tour the world As A Professional Back Ground Dancer For Recording Artist Neyo, Ciara, Teairra Marie And Traveled Across The Country On Tours With Big Artist Such As Jay Z And Chris Brown. Dancing On Tour Was My College Education. I used professional dancing as a stepping stone and gave artistry a shot which landed me a record deal in a female trio group called KRAVE Dance driven group inspired by TLC. My love for Stage was blissful and so fulfilling. 2015 I decided to transition and take on fitness. Met my first coach /trainer Kevin “ KD “ Wilson and he introduced me to the sport BODYBUILDING I had no idea what I was in for but I gave competing in my first bikini fitness competition a shot in a natural federation bringing home 1st Place and a pro card! I had found another love for the stage – BIKINI POSING – I continued competing and started my own posing company called POSING MATTERS. Bikini posing/stage presentation for fitness competitors. Posing Matters represents positive, uplifting, supportive and confident women who strut their stuff across stage showing off their long weeks of prepping hard work “ PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT “.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Def ups and downs. Coming from the music industry and transitioning into the fitness industry wasn’t so easy. Music industry you can hide behind the auto tune, producers Song Writers, etc. but Competing on stage as a bodybuilder is an individual sport where all of your hard work is based on the effort you put in and critique by judges you do not know.
We’d love to hear more about your company.
Posing Matters is a Bodybuilding posing company for Bikini And Wellness fitness Competitors. I teach posing technique, confidence, sass and individualized routines for the stage. I am most proud of the connection and gift I’m able to share with so many different women across the world. I developed a gift for Stage Presentation at a very early age and to share this strength with others is fulfilling. The one thing that sets my company apart is the bond we share and the SASS!
What were you like growing up?
Growing up I played basketball and played instruments in the band Flute and piccolo. Then I found my love for dance got accepted into a performing arts high school and that’s where my career started as a professional dancer.
