Robert & Vicky

are indeed proud and honoured to be called

"Excelsiors"

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

who wrote such   ~ IMMORTAL ~   poems as

~ Hiawatha ~

&

~ Excelsior ~

The Poem Excelsior honours and indeed glorifies those who are seeking and striving to better themselves in the fields of life, both morally and achieving great deeds. These people, namely "Excelsiors" ,despite the trials, tribulations and adversities they may face during their pursuit of achievement, never swerve or deviate from their purpose.

This determination is brought into prominence as shown by

The Motto of The "Excelsiors"

"UPWARD AND ONWARD"

Robert achieved and deserved his title by dedication and determination in spite of obstacles and set backs, conquering several difficult fields of the Entertainment Art. Indeed pursuing them to the highest level.

Starting as a child acrobat and studying Tap, Jazz & Ballet, Robert graduated to Pantomimes, Stage Productions and Club Appearances. Ballet led to Solo Seal and Dancing in the company of such greats as YOKO ICHINO and DANILO RADOJEVIC. After studying Adagio for several years in Australia and the Bahamas Robert conquered the Art of Adagio.

Finally to cap his performing skills, he carried out 6 years of intense study, practice and devotion of purpose in order to conquer the Art of Equilibrium.

Perseverance resulted in the production of

"Robert The Great Excelsior"

"Master of  Equilibrium"

Vicky, Robert’s beautiful devoted wife, as a child, like Robert, was unknowingly treading the Excelsior path. Early as a child she performed and participated in Pantomime plays. She studied gymnastics and ballet and this led her after leaving school, to enroll as a full - time boarder at Bush Davis Dance College in Sussex, England. Four years of intense devoted study and perseverance resulted in full honors and a handful of teaching certificates.

Successful with her first work application she crossed to the U.S.A. and became a full time dancer. Never swerving from her ambitions of improvement, she was Line Captain, Lead Dancer and Choreographer in several productions. These roles she played in spots such as Miami's "Fountainbleau", Las Vegas and Reno.

Her final challenge and the turning point in her life and career came when being introduced to Robert. Love bloomed and the Excelsior feeling really began to manifest itself. The desires, dedication and determination of Robert and Vicky combined together to draw up a long term plan to create an Adagio Act they could perform together as one.

THE CREATION OF AN ADAGIO ACT BEGAN

Robert with his skills and knowledge of Adagio, set out to impart this knowledge of Adagio movements to Vicky. Combined with Vicky’s already present expertise in dancing and acrobatics, it paid unbelievable dividends. Three years of unswerving dedication to creating this Unique Adagio Act were extremely difficult and indeed an arduous task. Both Robert and Vicky trained extensively; with Vicky striving to be admitted to the ranks of the Excelsiors and to who's ranks she has been deservedly admitted.
