SARA ELIZABETH BARKER

CERTIFIED DANCE INSTRUCTOR

I have always enjoyed dancing. As many young girls do, I started taking jazz and ballet. Then, when I was attending Emerson College I tried a class at Arthur Murray and got hooked on ballroom dancing. I continued on to pursue a degree in public relations and business management. My degree led to a job at a consulting firm, all the while, dancing as a hobby. After a life of trying different career paths I realized I was always going back to dancing. I decided to make dancing my life’s work. I obtained certification through the DVIDA program (dance vision international dance association) which is recognized by the national dance council of America. I taught in Nantucket and Boston before moving to the Newport area. I now continue to learn and teach independently.
