Kat Irving,
community dance
artist, Ludus Dance
1. What is your earliest recollection?
Arriving for my very first ballet class, I remember I was very proud of my new leotard – it had a tutu attached. How cool!

2. What was your first job?
Teaching dance at my local dance school, it beat a paper round any day.

3. Happiest memory?
Meeting my partner Chris for the first time, on a drunken night out in Kendal. A slightly blurry, but very happy memory.

4. Biggest regret?
Writing off my beloved Nissan Micra in one fell swoop.

5. Favourite song or artist?
C-Strike-Z, a lyricist from Morecambe whose dedication to his music is an inspiration. His debut album is due for release in May…why not check him out at www. myspace.com/cstrikez.

6. Most-thumbed book?
Sadly, that would be my busy work diary.

7. Website most often visited?
www.ludusdance.org – I can find out everything I need to know about what's happening in the local world of community dance.

8. Best-loved food?
Anything I don't have to cook myself. I'm a self-confessed chocoholic too.

9. What's your tipple?
I'd swap a pint for a cup of tea any day.

10. What's your must-watch TV programme?
I like watching stand-up comedy programmes in the evenings; it's nice to have a giggle at the end of the day.

11. A film not to be missed?
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."…The Blues Brothers. Classic.

12. Top holiday destination?
I love going camping, as long as it's quiet and green. I have always appreciated living in the North West and am quite happy to go on holiday here too.

13. Which football team's result do you look for first on Saturday?
Do they play football on a Saturday?

14. Favourite car?
Austin Powers' Union Flag 'Shaguar' would be my ultimate dream car. I don't know where I would keep all the junk I carry round in the boot of my Rover though.

15. Pet, past or present?
I have two pets in my life, Twevor the budgie and Mik the boxer dog. I keep trying to convince my partner Chris to let me get a 'handbag' dog…surprisingly no luck so far.

16. Favourite perfume or aftershave?
Davidoff Cool Water.

17. Which personality would you most like to meet?
Darcey Bussell. She is exceptionally talented, works extremely hard and is an inspiration to dancers of all techniques, not just ballet.

18. Biggest influence on your life so far?
I grew up dancing, studied dancing and now have the privilege of working within the dance world. I was very lucky to have parents who supported me in what I wanted to do.

19. What difference would a lottery win make to you?
The world of difference. However, I couldn't win a raffle if I was the only person buying tickets!

20. What would be your dream job?
A job connected to my hobby, being part of a fantastic team and everyday different from the last...so that would be my job at the moment with Ludus Dance Company!
