Miss Kimberley
BA Hons Dance and Theatre Performance, PGCE Primary Education
Kimberley was very young when she first fell in love with the arts. As a child, she attended a nearby performing arts studio several times a week and took part in a variety of on-stage activities such as regional dance competitions, pantomimes, and festivals. During her teens she successfully auditioned to dance with the European Ballet Company in a production of Cinderella.
Kimberley took I.S.T.D exams in ballet, tap, modern, jazz and classical greek dance and on completion of these, went on to audition for and receive a full scholarship to study at Bird College UK, where she completed her professional training in dance, drama and singing. After 3 wonderful years at Birds, she travelled the world as a singer and dancer, living and working in various countries as well as on board cruise ships.
More recently, Kimberley qualified as a primary school teacher and was awarded a grade of Distinction. Kimberley currently teaches Key Stage 1 at a local school and absolutely loves it! With a combined passion for working with children and the arts, she began teaching dance, singing and acting classes to children of all ages during the school holidays with the focus on building children’s confidence and self-esteem. Kimberley is always expanding her professional knowledge and is particularly interested in child psychology and special educational needs and disabilities.
