A real “dancing queen”- Barbara is the U.S. National Pro-Am Ballroom Dance Champion and competes all over the country! She is a well-known international pin-up, fashion model and can be seen as a sexy Fembot in “Austin Powers”.

Less is sometimes more. But where film and TV actress, Playboy centerfold, and ballroom dance champion Barbara Moore is concerned, Moore is definitely more. It takes most athletes years to reach the top of their sport, but for this sultry Austin Powers costar, she has ruled the precision world of Dancesport for her entire 5 years as a ballroom dancer, and recently procured yet another trophy for her collection when she took her second time United States Pro-Am Open/standard ballroom championship title. “I always knew I had the talent, so it goes to show that if you set a goal and put your mind to something, you can achieve it.” “This is the story that I would like to tell people.”

And what a story it is. With trophies, medals and ribbons festooning her Beverly Hills home, Moore is enthusiastic and a remarkable result of an inspiring theory proved.

So how did the Baywatch guest star babe and star of such movies as Beach House and Malibu Weekend become queen of the ballroom dancers? It really is true that if you tell a kid she can’t have something, then she wants is even more. Because dancing was verboten in the strict Christian household where Moore was growing up, her passion for this performing art was like fire under her feet. With an equally hot acting career born of that one-in-a-million junction of right place/right time when she was “discovered” as a 19 -year-old flight attendant, she was stepping in front of the camera, rather than on the dance floor.

When she landed in Nashville, she was snapped up for appearances in music videos for Reba McEntire, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams Jr. She then became a video goddess in Areosmith and Phil Collins videos, which led to many guest star turns, including Married....With Children and Silk Stalking.

“To be really good at something, you have to focus on it 100 percent,” says Moore, who has intently studied her craft with extensive formal training.

Applying the focus principle to dancesport, her feet and her heart have carried her from the dream to reality of its intricate movement, where she meets its physical and emotional demands with hours of daily practice, working with world champion dancer Igor Suvorov, with whom she partners in competitions. Moore trains like an athlete and looks like one would expect as seen from her recent layouts in Stuff magazine, Ironman, and the cover of Bizarre commanding the camera like she dominates the dance floor. Though remaining the undefeated U.S. champion is a full time job, Moore finds time to shoot continuously for her premiere Internet destination.

As a spokes person for “Playboy”, Barbara has traveled around the globe, exposing herself to different people and cultures, making new friends, absorbing new experiences. By the time she settled down in Los Angeles, her acting career was gaining impressive momentum. “Married ...With Children”, “Silk Stalkings”, “Baywatch Nights”, “Blossom”, “Sex in the City”, “Nightstand”, “Ace Ventura” , “Austin Powers”, “The Last Action Hero”, are among her onscreen credits, not including the plethora of hefty assignments she garnered across the broad range of print media (the cover of “Entertainment Weekly”, “Muscle and Fitness”, “Insider”, “Playboy”, “Bizzare”, and most recently “People” Australia, and many appearances on television. Barbara is the feature model in the 2004 bonus calender seen in the December issue of Stuff magazine. Not only is Barbara one of the most popular swimwear and pinup models in the world, she also holds the title of The U.S. National Pro-Am Standard Ballroom Champion two years undefeated.
