Robin Schreiber
Born 1949/1950 (age 74–75)
Oakland, California, U.S.

Robin Schreiber (born 1949 or 1950[1]), better known as Dance Cam Mom or Sweater Mom,[2] is an American superfan of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). A Warriors season ticket holder since the late 1980s,[3] she dances at home games in a blue and gold sweater—the Warriors' team colors.[4] She was often shown dancing in her trademark Christmas sweater on the jumbotron at Oracle Arena, the Warriors' former home arena.[5] She has continued to perform at their new arena, Chase Center.[6]

Early life and career

Schreiber was born in Oakland, California, and her family moved to Belmont when she was six. Her father was a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and she grew up rooting for Cal sports with him. In high school, she began watching the Warriors together with her dad.[7]

Schreiber studied art in college and taught history and art in the San Francisco Peninsula before retiring from teaching after 35 years.[4][7][8] She became a freelance artist.[9]

Golden State Warriors

Schreiber's Warriors Christmas sweater was purchased after Golden State became NBA champions in 2015. It was originally intended to be a gift for her son, but her husband erroneously purchased it in a women's size.[8] They convinced her to wear it to a game in December 2015, when they pushed her up to dance and she was caught on camera.[1][7] Schreiber had been shown on the screen over 20 times before becoming a viral sensation after her dance during a Warriors win against the Dallas Mavericks on November 9, 2016, the day after the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[9][10][11][12] She said her performance that night was motivated by the "tough election" and feeling as if people needed to be cheered up.[9] In December, she performed on the court during a break with the Warriors dance team in a holiday routine featuring the dancers in Santa outfits and she in her signature sweater.[11][13]

TNT flew her out to the 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans,[7] where they filmed her dancing with Golden State player Stephen Curry.[14][15] After the Warriors won the NBA championship in 2017, NBC Sports invited Schreiber to ride in a bus with other San Francisco Bay Area celebrities behind the Warriors players in their victory parade.[1] In November 2017, Curry wore shoes featuring designs in honor of her and her sweater.[16] In 2018, she appeared on camera at a San Jose Sharks ice hockey game at SAP Center, dancing with their mascot, SJ Sharkie, at her side.[17]
