About Us

Kathryn Barnett joined Leah Mauer, the original owner of the dance studio, in the late seventies, and purchased what was to become KBSD from her mentor in 1983. Dance has grown and changed by leaps and bounds since then.  With ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary lyrical, musical theater, and pointe, and most recently Zumba and children's yoga, all programs at KBSD are geared to age, ability, and experience with teachers constantly upgrading the quality of instruction by continuing their own dance education.  In addition to studio classes, the Kathryn Barnett School of dance provides an outreach program including dance, yoga, and movement classes at The Red Bank Charter School and FirstFriends Nursery school.

In November 2008, The Barnett Traveling Troupe performed at Walt Disney World for the third time in KBSD history.  This select group of performers competes in two dance competitions per year, as well as in several community service and charity performances.  They perform over 40 hours of volunteer service a season through Holiday Express, senior citizens events, and other performances within the community. They have performed on the Today Show, at the Meadowlands (For Our Heroes Concert with Bruce Springsteen), the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, and at half time at the 76er's games. 

Sportsmanship Awards that have been presented to the Studio celebrates students that display respect, courtesy, and support for other studios throughout the competition.  For many years, The Kathryn Barnett School of Dance in Red Bank NJ has been the proud recipient of the Sportsmanship Award at the Starpower Regional and Starbound Regional competition, among others.

Kathryn Barnett is a seasoned dancer and dance teacher. Very involved with the revitalization of Red Bank as the Chairwoman of the Special Events Committee and Vice Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Red Bank Rivercenter, Kathryn Barnett has been a dance instructor and choreographer for more than twenty years. Through the studio, she supports annual Red Bank special events such as the Discover Parades and the Tree Lighting ceremony, as well as events like Thursday Night Lights in Rumson and Fair Haven's HarvestFest. With a Bachelor of Science Degree (Cum Laude) in Physical Education at Plymouth State College of the University of New Hampshire and a Master’s certificate from Dance Educators of America, Kathryn Barnett annually participates as a National Dance Competition Judge through a variety of competitions nationally. 

Thank you for "adopting" us into your dancing family.  I'm so happy that Syndey and Jordan will grow up
with the love and support that only a Dance Studio can give.
