""Cati is the definition of a true artist. A force of feminine strength.
Her choreography is fed straight from the soul, and organically moulded onto each of her performers.
Cati’s ability to evoke sensuality and strength in the most majestic way, while taking audiences on a soulful journey, is what sets her apart. " STACEY KENEALY, assistant to Cati on Nuit Blanche
Working with Cati re-directed my performance quality back to art for arts sake. Her choreography and artistic direction challenge the performer and audience to lean in, listen, and feel. Her work demands to be shared with, rather than sold to, an audience. She creates a true family as her cast, and a true experience for her audience." MEGHAN MANNING, Nuit Blanche cast member
“English may not be her first language. But dance is. As a choreographer and artist, Cati Jean is the definition of awe-inspiring. Many only see the brilliant finished product she puts on stage or screen, but those who are lucky enough to work with her leave with an enriched spirit and renewed inspiration. Her approach to the creative process is one that cultivates her team’s imagination and drives inspired success. She is generous with her words and is extremely sensitive to the human condition. Her work overflows with emotion always designed specifically for each project. Simply put, Cati Jean’s choreography is sincere and never falls short of capturing the very heartbeat of the human soul." NICK DRAGO, assistant to Cati on Kylie Minogue 's world Tour 2011 "Aphrodite"
"Working with Cati Jean is quite a thrill. From the moment we met in my first audition, to present day, she upholds a marvelous presence in Los Angeles and around the world. The greatest parts of performing under Cati is you will be challenged to become an artist, to be confident in your inner beauty and to be a King or Queen on stage. She has my love and dedication."

'An artist never really finishes his work; he merely abandons it.' - Paul Ambroise Valery
"This sentiment couldn't resinate more for an artist. Living in Los Angeles for over a decade I've noticed amongst the Hollywood jungle, few true artists not only survive, but thrive. I've had the unique opportunity to watch, experience and assist the work firsthand from one of the most spectacular choreographic artists of my career. Cati Jean fuses beauty, art, sensuality, fashion and musicality in her brilliant work. Filled with emotion and story lines, her pieces thrive on dazzling detail. In addition to her magnificent movement, Cati brings first class professionalism to her work. Often arriving early and staying late, her integrity and strong work ethic is ever present. Working along side her was enjoyable and satisfying, as everyone was given ultimate respect and kindness, which in turn fueled a richly creative environment. In a time of quantity over quality, it is rare to witness authenticity and superb quality. With Cati it is a guarantee. "
