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

Christmas sweater on the

[5] She has continued to perform at their new arena,
Chase Center .

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.

[8] She became a freelance artist.

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.
