Principal
Kathy Gilmour
Kathy Gilmour is the Principal of Gilmour Dance Centre, which first opened its doors back in 1994, after she had been freelance teaching and choreographing groups, solo’s & duo’s for some of Brisbane’s most well respected Studios, even Johnny Young Talent School. Apparently even before Mrs Gilmour could walk and talk she just wanted to dance, moving in time with perfect rhythm, her parents knew something special was going on. She commenced dancing lessons in Bundaberg at age 5 (her teacher wouldn’t take students until school age) and so the journey began. Mrs Gilmour has studied both CSTD and RAD syllabi always with high results as she is a perfectionist, competed in Eisteddfod’s in all Solo, Duo & Group sections as well as winning Championships all over QLD. Her choreographic skills were being well honed early, choreographing groups & all school musicals from Grade 8 – 12 as well as solo’s for herself & others. She was only 12 when she commenced teaching for one of her dance teachers. At 17 she moved to Brisbane to study dance fulltime & had many performing opportunities including a solo in a piece choreographed by Graeme Murphy – a highlight. Mrs Gilmour has danced all of her life and has always passed on her dreams and love of dance through her students, children and now grandchildren. All of her students look up to her and regard her as their Idol, they worship her. Mrs Gilmour always teaches the students to strive to the best of their abilities and always tells them to never give up as anything is possible if you set your mind to it.·
