Where has the Kew dancing man gone?
Kew, VIC 3101 is located within the Boroondara local government area, part of the Melbourne (Greater) Region in Victoria.
StreetAdvisor wrote a piece about the Dancing Man in Kew Junction at the start of the year, and as I was driving past this morning it hit me that I haven't seen him in AGES!
Here is the article:

I hope nothing bad has happened to him, I loved driving past and seeing him.
Does anyone know what happened or has seen him lately?

I drive past Whitehorse and Balwyn roads intersection regularly and used to see him often but lately (last 3 months) have noticed he has dissappeared also. Maybe he finally retired! (Or put out his back)
I would be fascinated to know what kind of music he listens to! What could get someone to do this every day.
thanks for the update Zoe :)

I saw him a couple of months ago. Maybe he's away auditioning for Dancing on TV!
AWESOME!!! Glad to know he is still around, I hadn't seen him for soo long. He's such an iconic part of Kew.
Spoke to Robin the' Dancing man of Kew' Yesterday.
I asked him were he been hiding and he said at home as it has been cold.
Looks like the sunshine has brought Robin back out for some dancing .
That's fantastic news, he's such an iconic part of Kew. Great to see him still as active as ever.

Does anyone know if there's some kind of permanent memorial in Kew/Balwyn?
I love the idea of a statue, I know he used to put a smile on my face everytime I drove past.
