CEO -                       Caroline Fallis-Taylor                           Caroline@udoitdance.co.uk

Advanced Designated Safeguarding Lead

Expertise in Behaviour Support, Wellbeing and Trauma Informed Practice

(First Aid , Mental Health First Aid , Adverse Childhood Experiences)

Caroline began performing at a very young age, appearing in productions of Annie and The King and I for touring companies at Bradford’s Alhambra Theatre. The theatre soon became a familiar home, and she later worked for many years with QDOS Entertainment, supporting a wide range of productions including the venue’s much‑loved pantomimes.

She went on to build a professional career in London, performing in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, appearing at the iconic Café de Paris in the heart of the West End, and touring nationally with One World. Caroline also spent time living in Cyprus, dancing at the Pallas Theatre, before returning to the UK to focus on teaching and choreography.

Caroline trained at Northern Ballet, Manchester, Preston College and Elite Studios, gaining her FDI and DDE with the ISTD. She has choreographed for numerous performance teams and maintains a distinction‑level pass rate for ISTD examinations — a testament to her technical expertise, high standards and commitment to developing confident, capable young dancers.

With extensive experience in education, Caroline delivered dance and student engagement across the Dixons Academy Trust in Yorkshire for many years. She previously ran her own successful dance studio, Infinity Dance Studios, where she taught a range of genres and supported young people to progress in both performance and examinations.

Caroline is now the CEO of the UDOIT Dance Foundation, leading the organisation’s strategic direction and national delivery across England and Wales. She is committed to building inclusive, trauma‑informed, community‑rooted programmes that make dance accessible, joyful and empowering for all young people. Her leadership brings together her professional performance background, educational expertise and passion for widening participation in the arts.

National Lead for Wales -        Caitlin  Waters                         Caitlin@udoitdance.co.uk

Caitlin joined the UDOIT team in Summer 2022. Caitlin started her dance journey from a very young age in all different styles of dance. Her signature style is a mixture of commercial and street. Caitlin spent most of her childhood travelling around and competing and wanted to share it with those around her. At just the age of 12, she started her own dance class and this is where her teaching career started. Caitlin now has her own dance school, Oscillate Dance Company, which started in January 2020. In a short period of time, her dancers have become Welsh and British Champions! Caitlin is incredibly passionate about developing street dance all over the UK and giving people the chance to shine. Her new role at UDOIT allows her to do this even more.
