It’s really awesome that you take the time to care, so I wanted to take the time to thank you

ABOUT CARLA:

Vivacious, courageous, and a fun loving workaholic would be the best way to explain Carla Catherwood. Born and raised in British Columbia, Canada she has worked professionally in the entertainment industry for 10 years. She is most known for her producing, directing and her Nuvo-Burlesque style choreography and is currently represented by Toronto’s very own Do-Dat Entertainment with Manager Wayne Samuels. Carla has been blessed to work beside such celebrities and amazing professionals like Michael Buble, Shania Twain, Kelly Osbourne, Russell Peters, Hugh Hefner, Jessica Alba, and Halle Berry.

She has also had the chance to produce and direct shows for the infamous Playboy Mansion, Club Intrawest, Heineken, Grey Goose, Much Music, Vancouver International Children’s Festival, and For the Luv of It! Live entertainment showcases (www.fortheluvofit.com) which has successfully helped both fellow professional entertainers and youth grow, develop and gain more momentum in their career, along with the many burlesque show’s that she has created and produced for her cabaret group “The Burlesque Beauties” (www.burlesquebeauties.com)

Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to work with an extremely talented lady!

Carla is now a resident of Toronto and will be casting for a three new projects that will be based out of Toronto at her workshop one of them being for the pre-party at the MMVA’s on June 20th.

THE GIVE BACK WORKSHOPS is a full day of FREE DANCE CLASSES taught by professionals in the Entertainment Industry! The event is put on by Tre Armstrong and ‘A New Dance Academy for the Entertainment Industry’

I taught my commercial jazz class to over 70 students and the energy in the room was incredible!  It’s so nice to share what I love with many dancers from the Toronto dance community!

Thanks again Tre, I had a blast!

“I first heard about Lindsay Ritter from a friend of mine who taught at a school in East Scarborough. She had told me very good things about Lindsay and it got me thinking about having her come to the school I teach at. I work at a big school with over 700 students from Kindergarten to Grade 8. Lindsay and I decided it would be good for her to work with the Grade 1 to Grade 8 students.
Lindsay was very accomodating while we were trying to figure out a schedule in order that she could provide each grade with two Hip Hop Dance classes. Lindsay worked with our students over an eight day period. She taught 3-4 classes per day and each day she had more energy and enthusiasm than the day before. She was very comfortable working with all of the students, but I particularly enjoyed seeing her interact with our Intermediate students. It did not take her very long before the group was up dancing and showing their moves. It was very easy to see how much Lindsay enjoys dancing and sharing her knowledge of dance with others.
I had the opportunity of participating in a birthday dance party that Lindsay taught. Although different from a school atmosphere, I was able to see that Lindsay demonstrated just as much energy and enthusiasm and made everyone feel like they were “dancers”. Lindsay is a person who is passionate about dancing and she shares this passion through her teaching. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Lindsay Ritter to anyone who was interested in bringing a fun, energetic atmosphere to their school or party.”
