‘Kew Dancing Man’ passes away
Eastern Suburbs icon Robin Madden, better known as ‘The Kew Dancing Man’, has sadly passed away.
Robin, who could regularly be seen grooving on a corner of the Kew Junction, became a local legend with his high kicks, big hand waves and eccentric dancing techniques.
‘The Kew Dancing Man’ would regularly take up his spot on the corner where passers-by would toot and wave in support of the lovable local, cheering up many a red-light wait.
Robin told the Herald Sun in 2007 that he danced because ‘it makes me happy’
‘People blow their horns at me and the coppers put their sirens on for me. They know me pretty well around here - I've been in Kew all my life’ Robin said.
Prague House in Cotham Road, where Robin lived for almost 10 years, say Robin passed away on Saturday at the age 67 after a battle with cancer.
He will be missed.

RIP Robin
Robin, The Kew Dancing Man passed away on May the 26th.
For anybody that grew up in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne or lived in the area at any stage you will know The Kew Dancing Man.
He made tram rides and drives through Kew Junction the best thing ever.
I remember when he upgraded from a discman to an ipod, he was always SO happy.
What a beautiful smile and dancing style you had Robin.
May you rest in paradise, the streets of Kew won't be the same without you.
