TWO chances to train in August with the best of the best - Michelle Barber ❤️ classes are filling up quickly, only a few spots available for both! Register now via MindBody.
For 30+ years, Michelle Barber’s passion has been teaching and choreographing. Nurturing growth and ensuring that each student’s unique potential is realized and celebrated. Her commitment to the dance world has stood the test of time. The community she has built and her dedication to her classes is what brings students back to learn from her class after class. Michelle’s dance training began in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio with the incomparable Dee Hillier, of The Dee Hillier Dancers. At an early age, Michelle began teaching and choreographing in the Northeast area and performing for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Matrix, Kirby Vacuum, Francois Girbaud Fashion, local television shows and industrials. In 1995, Michelle moved to NYC to continue pursuing her dancing career after touring the United States with Guys & Dolls 2nd National Tour. She continued working in industrials, television and teaching and choreographing in the Tri-State area. While studying at the Broadway Dance Center, Michelle became a part of the legendary Frank Hatchett (co-founder of BDC) teaching faculty. She soon earned her own classes at Broadway Dance Center and for the past 28 years has been one of the studio’s most in-demand teachers.
