ERIN D. BARNETT
Erin was exposed to every form of dance and movement but by age nine decided to focus her attention to ballet.  Under the tutelage of Larry Long and Homer Bryant, she performed Etudes with American Ballet Theater. Continuing her academic studies as a dance major at Howard University opened the door to the world of modern dance.  Upon graduation, Erin earned a position with Garth Fagan Dance and of her performance Toby Tobias of the New Yorker Magazine says, "Erin Barnett, born to dance, is striking...every movement she makes is physically full and charged with feeling.  I could watch her forever, doing anything.  Once you lay eyes on her, even when she's operating on the outskirts of the action you can barely see anyone else on
stage." (November 2000).
