Kashmir's Credentials
I have studied with a range of teachers since 1991 - including Denise Enan, Aida Nour, Dr Mo Geddawi and Yousry Sharif.
I have achieved the Certificate in Dance Teaching from QUT - in addition to being a trained secondary teacher (and engineer).
OK - if you want the nitty gritty. Here it is:Dance Study
