About Lee-Ann Barber

Inspired by her grandmother, who danced professionally in NYC, Lee-Ann’s life-long love for dance and movement began at a young age. She grew up in Southern Maryland, training as a young dancer in ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance, competing, and performing nationally.

Lee-Ann earned a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the Univ. of Maryland. She danced professionally for the NBA’s Washington Wizards dance team for three seasons and performed with a modern dance company in Washington, DC. With 13+ years of experience teaching various styles of dance, Lee-Ann specializes in teaching jazz technique, ballet barre, and tap dance instruction to both children and adults.

Lee-Ann is a registered yoga instructor (RYT 200) through Bombay Yoga Company. In June 2018, she completed her training for trauma-sensitive yoga at Transformation Yoga Project. She is also certified to teach Restorative yoga. With her business skill-sets, having a Master’s of Business degree from Univ. of Maryland, she has created yoga for Wellness Programs at organizations (including the one she works for). She has experience teaching specialized groups, seniors and Veterans, and hopes to further her reach with these initiatives.

Lee-Ann enjoys sharing her passion for movement on all levels and exchanging good vibes with others in the community, which is the root of her creation, Two Hearts Dance & Yoga.  In her classes, she integrates her background of movement trainings, knowledge of body alignment, and pure lust for mindfulness to bring an uplifting energy to her students.
