Contemporary CAT Birmingham

[suzysue]

Does anyone have any experience of the Contemporary CAT programme at Dance Xchange, Birmingham?  My 11 year old is interested, it'd be nice to hear more about it.   

Thanks

Welcome suzysue :-)

 

There's a thread (below) that your might find useful, although there's not much about the Birmingham CAT

Welcome to the forum, Kate01 (and Suzysue). :-)

Thanks for the welcome   We would be looking at Birmingham as it's easily reached by car or train from home which has got to be a major consideration (not to mention cheaper!).  I'm completely uneducated as I know nothing about dance but the website makes the scheme sound fab and the contemporary style looks like it may suit her.

They do run contemporary classes at the Dance Xchange on a Saturday (not linked to the CAT scheme as far as I'm aware) My dd and her friends used to do it to fill the (long) gap between Elmhurst Associates and RBS Associates they enjoyed it and felt like they'd had a good workout in the process! You can turn up on the day and don't have to block book (though it is cheaper this way) It may be worth trying one to see if your daughter would enjoy the CAT scheme especially if (like my dd) she has not tried contemporary before.

My dd did Birmingham CAT for 2 years alongside her ballet training before going away to vocational school. It was a very positive experience. Please feel free to pm with any questions.

That's useful to know, maybe we'll give that a whirl to see how she gets on :-D

Thanks Lildancer, I will pm you shortly :-D
