Welcome to my website combining my love of linedancing along side my passion for music.

I undertook linedancing in 1997 as a hobbie with the aim to dance “hillbilly rock, hillbilly roll” at my wedding in May of the same year, sad, yet true …. and I did it!!! Never in a million years would I think that I would be where I am today - i.e. a fully qualified line dance instructor with a history of classes in Knaresborough, Ripon and Burton Leonard, North Yorkshire, Otley, West Yorkshire, or to be working alongside The Deans, Glenn Rogers and Roy Dale in Tenerife as well as providing mobile disco service for weddings, 40th birthday parties, kids parties etc!!!

The name “Mad Cat” seems to have stuck and I suppose you have to see it to believe it! Cat being short for Cathy and the mad bit is me to a tee!! I would like to thank Barbara from Ripon who came up with the name “Cath’s Kickers” for the linedancing club, and I am sure that you can imagine that “Cath’s Kickers” on the back of a t-shirt can be misinterpreted and has therefore caused quite a few laughs!

In February 2002, I was asked to oversee the teaching of a class in Otley, West Yorkshire, for a short period. This lead me to undertake my British Western Dance Association 2000 teacher training course in Preston and gained level 1 and 2 in September of that year and obtained level 3 in December 2002.

My passion for music is expressed through dance as well as through listening to the music I play at Disco’s. I’m never still. I boogie along behind the decks at disco’s and keep everyone entertained whilst getting them to dance too. I have provided articles for Linedancer Magazine and pro-mobile magazine for DJ’s.
