"Kimberley, that was so good to have
the lesson with you - I feel much more comfortable with different
movements that I had previously had difficulty with. And posture
which I hadn't realised was a major fault with me, I feel
much better!"

"Hi Kimberley, I have to thank you for the lesson I loved
it. You are not only a beautiful dancer but a very good teacher.
Thanks so much for a great class and a wonderful performance
at the end. I realise now that it must have been extremely tiring
for you to have done both. But it was so lovely for us to see
you dance." Robyn, USA/Turkey |

"Kimberley's classes are the most exciting part of my
week and I would not hesitate to recommend her to dancers at
all levels. Her knowledge, ability, commitment and unique approach
make her a guru in the field of dance." Alexis,

"Thanks to your great teaching I have learnt to dance
with elegance which is a pretty special thing." Gail,
New Zealand |

"I absolutely treasure my memories of Turkey and especially
our time dancing together. You are a wonderful teacher and
I wish I lived half a world away so I could take classes more
often. I really had to see the landscape; the beautiful olive
trees, the hollyhocks, the heat, the Call To Prayer, and the
amazing sunsets to really tie everything together into why
it all makes you want to express it in dance. Thank you again
for the choreography and for the most wonderful trip I've
had in years."

"At this late stage, may I say how much I enjoyed your
workshop. You are an excellent teacher, and have certainly learnt
your stuff. Your workshop was well structured and you are an
excellent communicator. Best wishes for your return to Turkey,
and I will look forward to your next workshop over here when
next you come back. Thanks for putting NZ on the map in Turkey.
Cheers." Glennis, New Zealand |

"Kimberley - just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate
the knowledge, passion and encouragement you passed on to us
as your students. I learnt well the basics and particularly
liked the way you broke each move down so we could understand
what we were actually doing, feeling like I had made progress
after each class. What you taught gave me a solid foundation
to build upon. I'm now well on the way to my dancing goals thanks
to the inspiration I draw from you as a teacher and performer."

Kimberley, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Workshop
on Saturday. It was GREAT!! I've already remembered the piece

fit in with it - I am very happy with that!" Debbiana,

"As a relative newcomer to this form of dance, I was
delighted to experience Kimberley's style of teaching. Having
already enjoyed beginner classes in the UK where I gained the
basics, I was able to look at how I can polish these moves and
incorporate new moves freely and without inhibition. Kimberley
pushes the boundaries in teaching this particular style of dance
by focussing on a dancers posture and how this can affect each
move. As is the case in all things in life, get the foundations
right and the monument will remain standing for centuries to
come. Kimberley achieves this by making sure a dancer re-focuses
mentally and physically on the root cause of a movement and
mental motivation, in order to achieve a sustained and eye-catching
performance." Alexis, UK/Bodrum |
Kimberley I would like to say a special thank you for the
classes you have provided us. You have such a special teaching
talent, apart from dancing I learnt such a lot observing the
way you encouraged and helped us all with your amazing approach.
How privileged we are to have had this opportunity. While I
was so scared to even get on my feet and couldn’t hear
the music or even remember what to do and I think we did everything
double time instead of slowly I was still able to appreciate
the sharing and well almost sacredness of the evening last night,
if I may say so. Once again, thank you for making it so. I am
still dumbstruck at your amazing dance – something never
to be forgotten. Wow. Thank you for your classes. You have an
amazing teaching talent. Cathie, Waiheke Island |
