Iqbal Khawaja

Iqbal about his class: 
“I give a classical class in the classical sense, mostly with a classical sense of English humour.
Enjoyment of the work is paramount. Technique is freedom. But the classes are adapted to the differing environments in terms of complexity and requirement. Previously I have very much enjoyed teaching the dancers and freelancers at CJ Dance and Im looking forward to meeting the new generation.”
