About Us
Welcome to Cartwright Dance Collective, Founded in October 2024.
Here you will find information about our Owner and Founder and our Vision!
Miss Kim
My Name is Kim and I am the Owner and Founder of Cartwright Dance Collective. I started dancing when two years old and have loved it ever since. As a child, I successfully auditioned and trained with Scottish Ballet Associates Programme and UK Theatre School.
I left school to pursue my love of dance and completed my HNC and HND Dance Artist at Reid Kerr College
(Now West of Scotland College).
​
My ballet training involved studying RAD Pre-Primary to Advanced 1 level, before completing my Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies and becoming a Registered RAD Teacher. I went on to complete my qualified teacher training in Contemporary Dance with Rambert Grades and Acro Dance with Acrobatic Arts.
​
While attending Strathclyde and Stirling University to pursue another career, for the past nine years, I have continued to perform and teach across the UK.
I got married in 2023 and in 2024 I became a mum to my little baby boy. As a family we took time deciding where we wanted to start the next chapter of our story and finally moved to our dream home.
​
Sharing my love of dance with others has always been a passion of mine. Growing up in a small village inspired me to create a dance school with a true community spirit, which is something I really hope to develop at
Cartwright Dance Collective.
Our Vision
Cartwright Dance Collective has a vision to create a Community of Calm, Caring and Confident Dancers.
​
A safe and nurturing environment to support dancers to develop their skills and abilities whilst improving their self-belief.
A community where life-long friendships and dreams are made.
​
We are building a Dance School that offers Ballet, Contemporary, Acrobatics and Musical Theatre. We provide Dancers with performance, event and exam opportunities.
