About Miss Barbie
Born in Hong Kong, miss Barbie is passionate about ballet as an artform. She is constantly training and researching the various ways that dance can be explored from different perspectives.
In classes, she uses this knowledge to help members understand the key components and expressions of dance so that each person may in their own individual way of understanding achieve their personal goals.
Outside of the classroom miss Barbie enjoys caring for her pet dogs and baking sweet treats to share with her loved ones. She is also an avid lover of the great outdoors and often enjoys hiking with friends, finding peace in the rejuvenating energy of nature.
