Gina Joyce Barnard

Gina trained in Classical Ballet, Tap, Modern and Jazz dance from a very young age. Whilst attending Steppin Out Academy of Performance she achieved the highest levels of these genres, alongside studying Irish dance and gaining her teaching qualifications with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (DDI and DDE)

Making her professional performance debut as a senior dancer in the Poole pantomime Peter Pan, Gina has since continued to perform in various cabaret troupes and modelling catwalk shows. Alongside teaching Gina performs regularly, something that she is very passionate about. Gina is thrilled to teach for Stella and the amazing pupils of DFA. Bringing her classical knowledge to the school Gina offers Ballet and Tap classes for children and adults as well as the ‘All That Jazz’ for 3 – 6yrs & ‘Wonders of the West End’, which both include Singing and Dancing!!
