Biography

Barbara Duffy was born in Webster, Massachusetts on October 8, 1959.[1] Duffy started dancing at age six, taking lessons from Doris McGeary and went on to study with Esther Dolan in the 1980s.[1] In Brookline, Massachusetts, she studied dance with Leon Collins, C.B. Hetherington, Pam Raff, and Diane Walker.[1] Duffy moved to New York City in 1985, where she became a founding member of the American Tap Dance Orchestra (ATDO) in 1986, which she danced with until 1995.[1] Also in the 1990s, Duffy appeared on Sesame Street, playing a "tap-dancing cowgirl sidekick."[1] She also appeared on 60 Minutes, dancing with Gregory Hines.[2] In 1997, she was chosen by Hines to appear at a presidential gala performance, dancing with Mark Mendonca and Cyd Glover.[3]

Duffy formed a group of dancers, Barbara Duffy and Company in 2000.[4] The dancers included Lynn Schwab, Cintia Chamecki and Pia Neises.[4] The group debuted in Speedball at the New York City Tap Festival in 2001.[4] The group was reorganized in 2007 and again debuted at the festival, dancing 423-4323.[4]

Duffy dances, choreographs dance shows, and teaches dance.[1] She has taught at Steps on Broadway and Broadway Dance Center in New York.[5] In 2013, Duffy was presented with the Hoofer Award from the American Tap Dance Foundation (ATDF).[6]
