Trish Barker joined the MB Academy of Dance in the summer of 2001 as a volunteer.

She trained at the Audrey Tutton School of Dance in Kent from age 4 to age 18, studying Classical Ballet (RAD / ISTD), Modern (ISTD) and National Character Dance (ISTD), before moving to Cambridge in 2000 to continue her academic studies.

In Ballet, she attained both Grade V RAD (1996) and Grade V ISTD (1997) examinations and continued to study Elementary/Intermediate work. She achieved Elementary Grade in ISTD Modern, and worked towards her Intermediate. In ISTD National she completed the Advanced Grade (1999).

Since joining the MB Academy, Trish has dusted off her dance kit and joined Zoë for some informal modern and ballet classes.

Trish loves her role of helping out in classes and providing some behind-the-scenes support. She wishes to thank you all for making her so welcome at the MB Academy and a particular thanks to Zoë for her continual encouragement and support.

Trish is also the webmaster for this website.
