Open Days - Centre for Advanced Training in Dance [CAT]

These Open Days will introduce you to the Centre for Advanced Training in Dance, an intensive, part time, pre-vocational training programme for young people who aim to pursue a career in dance. We welcome hard working young dancers aged 11-16 (on 1^st Sep 21) who are passionate and committed to a future as a dance professional.

The days will include a fun, challenging technical and creative workshop delivered by our highly accomplished tutors and a chance for students, parents & guardians to find out more about the dance opportunities available to them.

The Lowry CAT is part of a national programme funded by the Department of Education through the recognised Music and Dance Scheme. Means-Tested Grants are available for students to access the programme, providing accessible excellent dance training for young people who wouldn’t usually have the opportunity. Students that have graduated from The Lowry CAT have gone on to study at major UK conservatories such as Rambert School of Dance, Central School of Ballet, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Laban Conservatoire.

Entry to the scheme is through an audition process on 27^th June 21 although the criteria will look closely at the potential of each student regardless of their previous dance experience. We will be looking for those young people who demonstrate exceptional potential, commitment and enthusiasm for dance. Students wishing to audition for the CAT are advised to first attend one of the Open Days. Application forms for auditions will be available from all Open Days and The Lowry CAT web page.
