LIAM DEMPSEY
Choreographer

is thrilled to be revisiting “West Side Story” as choreographer, and to adapt some features of the iconic Robbins choreography for the Opera House stage! His first time with the piece he played Diesel and Dance Captained, so the musical is incredibly important for his development and holds many fond memories. Liam studies traditional jazz under Verdon/Fosse Legacy, Dana Moore, the Luigi Jazz Centre, Darlene Zoller & more. He most recently choreographed “La Cage Aux Folles” in last summer’s season in Southington, CT. Liam would love to thank his teachers and dance partners, family and friends for supporting him in his work, and to tell all people reading this (dancer or otherwise) that a dancer’s body is a body that dances.
