Barnes began his career as a dance critic in London, writing for multiple publications including The Spectator and The Times of London. He served as dance critic for The New York Times from 1965 to 1977, and was also the paper's chief theater critic during a portion of his time there. For the past 30 years, he served as the chief drama and dance critic at The New York Post.
