About Katy C

Hi, I’m Katy C and I teach at Bolton and Prestwich.

I like to think of my classes as inclusive of all women whatever the age, shape or experience. My classes are aimed at creating a village type atmosphere with everyone feeling they can take part. The only rule I have is that you must enjoy yourself!

I don’t believe that there is only one way to dance – everyone has their own style and I hope to give my students the confidence to develop theirs. My classes are set up to help you learn safely without being prescriptive.

Classes for Beginners

The beginners classes are open to anyone, whatever their experience. I use a range of music – Turkish, Arabic, North African, Indian and fusions of styles – and like to bring in new ideas. There is no defined style in these classes but they concentrate on developing the core area of the middle of the body.

Improver Classes

The improver classes encourage students to try something a little harder. I assume a basic understanding of the moves taught in the beginners’ classes and add to them. The routines are faster and there are few breaks between them.

Intermediate Classes

The intermediate class is for experienced dancers who want to develop their technique. I also offer workshops for students. These include developing basic technique, learning to work with sticks and veils and developing your own style.
