Kimisha’s own experience has shown how having a performing arts education can make a huge impact on a young person’s life. Kimisha began her performing arts journey with workshops at the local theatre and dance training at her local dance school. She fell in love with the arts as she felt her confidence grow, the excitement and thrill every time she stepped on stage and made life long friends, many of whom are also in the industry and will be delivering professional master classes to our Razzamataz students! Kimisha continues to work as a professional actress with an exciting career including the West End, International touring, TV & Voice over. Alongside her career she is now incredibly excited to be able to share her wealth of knowledge and passion for the arts within her own school, Razzamataz Coventry!
