Amira has acheived associate teacher status with the SADTA- one of very few BDASA teachers to hve acheived this so far.
Notice about lack of updates:
As some of you may or may not be aware, in March and April 2009 Amira lost several members of her family unexpectedly. These tragic circumstances, coupled with South Africa's excessive public holidays throughout April, have caused unforeseen delays in the admin work of the studio. We do apologise to our students and supporters for the delays and lack of updates. All updates are now back on track
