Jeremy Plummer, an accomplished director, choreographer and aerial creator/choreographer, will be traveling back from China to teach master workshops at Debra Collier’s School of Dance on July 7 and July 8.

Plummer began his training at DCSD, where he was a member of Class Act Dance Troupe, and continued on to Gus Giordano’s School of Dance in Chicago after graduation. He was a company member with River North Chicago Dance Company and is featured in the films Vanilla City, The Visitor and Road to Perdition.

He is founder and CEO of C5, an aerial-dance company, which will be presenting a world premiere at Dance for Life in Chicago this August.

Through his unique blend of aerial artistry and live performance, Plummer has created unique shows for cruise lines and special events. He is a choreographer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and a master teacher for numerous national dance organizations. He has directed and choreographed over 15 shows and musical reviews and shared his love and knowledge of dance through the Minnesota Ballet theater production of “Teenage Wasteland”.

Plummer was the recipient of the 2013 Artistic Achievement Award from the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters, an honor also bestowed to artists such as Gene Kelly, Gelsey Kirkland and Ruth Page.

“Watching Jeremy develop as a student and into the talented choreographer he has become is such a privilege,” explains Debra Collier.

Plummer will also be setting choreography on members of the studio’s company, Class Act Dance Troupe.

“It is wonderful to have him return to the studio and share his passion for dance, his experience and his talent with our students,” noted Collier.
