Wales Manager - 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.
