Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) at LOWRY is a pre-vocational dance training programme for young people aged 11-18 years.

Funded by the Department for Education Music and Dance Scheme, CATs exist to help identify, and assist, children with promising potential, regardless of their personal circumstances, to benefit from world-class specialist training as part of a broad and balanced education whilst living at home and staying at school. This will enable them, if they choose, to proceed towards self-sustaining careers in dance.

Lowry CAT students benefit from training at Lowry, immersed in cultural experiences including classes accompanied by live musicians. CAT students develop a range of physical, artistic and life skills by working with excellent tutors and industry-leading visiting artists and dance companies.
