    Meet Holland

    Jul 12, 2026

    As we extend a warm PDA welcome to Holland Barber, let's take a moment to get to know her!

     

    Bio: I was born and raised in Mocksville, North Carolina. I have been dancing since the age of 8. I attended Davie County High school where I choreographed several dances for the Fall and Spring concerts and was a part of the dance team, the Dancing Boots, for all four years. I have trained in a number of styles, including ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, and hip hop. I hold a degree in Popular Culture and Media Production with a minor in Dance from High Point University. I have participated in the Fall and Spring dance concerts at HPU where I performed ballet and contemporary pieces. I love to teach dancers of all ages and I'm so excited to share my knowledge and choreography with students at Pro Dance Academy!

    We asked Holland a few questions about dance, here's what she had to say:

    • What is your absolute favorite song to dance to right now? 7/11 by Beyonce
    • If your dance style was an emoji, which one would it be? 🕺
    • What is the best piece of advice a dance teacher ever gave you? The best piece of advice a dance teacher has given me is to remember that I am enough. The tricks and kicks are not all that matters, but believing in yourself and having the confidence to showcase your abilities on stage is what matters most.
    • What are three must-have items inside your dance bag? hair ties, water bottle, and dance shoes
    • What was your favorite childhood movie or cartoon? High School Musical 3
    • If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what is it? Peanut Butter
    • What is a secret superpower or hidden talent you have outside of dancing? I can play the flute
    • Are you a morning person or a night owl? Morning person
    • What is your favorite Disney or movie soundtrack to choreograph to? Teen Beach Movie soundtrack
    • If you could turn any animal into a dancer, which animal would it be and what style would they do? I would turn a tiger into a dancer and they would do hip hop.
    • What are you most excited about for your very first day at Pro Dance Academy? I am most excited to teach what I love and build strong connections with the dancers so that they can express themselves and know that it is okay to make mistakes as long as they apply it and grow as a dancer.

    Welcome to the studio, Holland! We're so excited you're here!
