Chris Barker is a Licentiate of the International Dance Teachers' Association (IDTA), qualified in Ballroom, Latin and Freestyle and a Bokwa Fitness Instructor.  He has been dancing since the age of six under the guidance of his father Roland, a Fellow and Examiner of the IDTA and assistant to Guy Howard in writing the Ballroom 'Bible', Technique of Ballroom Dancing.

Chris has been a member of IDTA since 2002 and founded Dance Street in 2005.

You can attend classes (where available) or private lessons according to your preference.  Most pupils of Dance Street learn just for fun but those looking for more of a challenge have enjoyed great success in medal tests.  The opportunity is also available for competitive dancing if that 'floats your boat'!  Professional students welcome too.
