About the teacher

Laura Barbee spent most of her early years jumping and sweating. At the age of four, she began taking ballet and putting that experience to good use. Laura went on to pursue dance both academically and professionally. She was granted the opportunity to study at Ballet Austin, ABT, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Bates Dance Festival, Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet, and Atlanta Ballet. In 2006, Laura earned her BFA in Ballet & Modern Dance at TCU as a Nordan Fine Arts Scholar. She has performed works by Alonzo King, Elizabeth Gillaspy, Fernando Bujones, George Balanchine, Jessica Lang, John McFall, Lauri Stallings, Michael Pink, and Susan Douglas Roberts, among others. She has had the privilege of performing with professional companies and as a freelance artist with memorable experiences in regional, national, and international festivals including the Edinburgh Fringe. Laura is also a certified GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® instructor as well as GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer with additional certification on specialized equipment. Practicing this amazing system has helped make her daily life possible, especially after experiencing injuries. She is honored to teach locally as an adjunct faculty member in TCU’s School for Classical & Contemporary Dance, teach company class for the beautiful artists of Bruce Wood Dance Dallas, and co-own The Tree, Somatics & Kinetics in Fort Worth working with clients while learning to live and move with joy through every season.
