Notable recommendations of Catherine's work:
"I met her (Catherine) in the nineties in Stuttgart, while creating "Stepping Stones" for the company. She became a very prominent figure in this work. This was not only because of her extraordinary qualities as a dancer, but equally so because of her qualities as a human being...
Cathy is a natural communicator and an enthusiastic promoter of the art, to which she has dedicated all her life. In her career she was exposed to creations of some of the finest choreographers of the 20th century. She has the ability to share this knowledge and pass it on to the younger generation."
“She is a natural and gifted teacher and her passion for dance is reflected in her students, with many going on to have professional careers in dance. Having one of her students here at the Royal Ballet is a testament to Catherine's teaching.”
"Catherine is passionate about teaching and passing on the art of dance. She has many years of exceptional international professional experience from which to draw upon and bring to her coaching, teaching and directing."
