Whitney Barnett

Mrs. Whitney started dancing when she was just a toddler and has never stopped! She has never met a stranger or a dance floor she didn’t love. Her early years of dance started in Pine Bluff, AR and Plano, TX until her family moved to Fort Smith in 1997. She began dancing at Fort Smith School of Ballet where she enjoyed tap, jazz, ballet, pointe and contemporary. By her high school years, she was helping teach in the studio and loved the connection made with young dancers. In 2011 she graduated with an Apparel Studies degree from the University of Arkansas, then went on to work for the buying team at Dillards Headquarters in Little Rock. A move to Dallas in 2018 landed her a new roll as a stylist where she worked for many years. She is now a stay at home mom to three young children. Above all, Mrs. Whitney strives to help cultivate kindness, confidence, and respect for others in each young dancer… and most of all, have fun!
