For the next 10 years she taught at Northern Ballet School and then The Hammond School before eventually opening North Liverpool Dance Academy. (NLDA)
NLDA has been operating since 1993 and has progressed from operating in a Bootle Community Centre to its current premises in Walton where a full time College now runs as an ISTD Approved Dance Centre.
Cathi has trained countless students who are performing and teaching across the world. She is a Triple International Examiner for the ISTD, Committee Member for the ISTD National Faculty, Committee Member for ISTD Modern Events, an Adjudicator, Mentor and Director of the UK Dance Class Championships.
