Robert McShinsky

Bio

Robert discovered ballroom at just eight years old—and from that moment on, the rhythm, discipline, and artistry of the sport became the driving force of his life. Trained across Latin, Ballroom, and Smooth, he developed a reputation for his powerful technique, refined style, and the unmistakable presence he brings to every performance.

For Robert, ballroom isn’t just movement—it’s partnership, musicality, strategy, and the adrenaline of pushing himself on the competitive floor. His career is marked by major accomplishments, including winning the U.S. Open to the World Amateur Ballroom Championship in Florida (2022), breaking into the Top 9 at The Open, and securing a spot in the Top 24 of the Championship division on the world stage.

Beyond competing, Robert is a standout coach known for blending creativity with precision. His leadership has guided his formation team to back-to-back National Formation Titles, and his students consistently grow under his eye for detail and performance quality.

Today, Robert competes at the highest levels with his wife and professional partner, Jenna, and continues to shape the next generation of dancers—fueling their growth with the same passion and dedication that have defined his own journey.
