focus on local choreographers

Jeremy Ives
2009 DCO Lifetime Achievement Award recipient

This Year at the annual Blue Sky Choreographers Series DCO honors Jeremy Ives with our 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award.

Before moving to the Northwest with his wife Helen in 1989, Jeremy Ives performed, taught, and toured on the East Coast.

Beginning in the 1960s he danced with American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, American Festival Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera Ballet where he performed for twelve years.

Jeremy's experience in Broadway musicals includes, most notably, Camelot, Annie Get Your Gun (with Ethel Merman), and Oklahoma. He has worked under direction from Agnes DeMille, John Butler, Alvin Ailey, and Maurice Bejart.

For the past thirty years Jeremy has taught through the Portland Park Bureau, Pacific Arts Dance Center and many other dance studios in the Portland area. We are fortunate and grateful to Jeremy for passing on his expertise and wealth of experience to dancers in the Pacific Northwest.
