In this episode of dance moves people, we chat with alumni from Fabric's Centre for Advanced Dance Training (CAT). We explore their journeys in dance, reflecting on their experiences in the program and how it has shaped their careers. Each guest brings a unique perspective, sharing their stories of growth, transformation, and the importance of community in the dance world.
