Ivery’s former dance partner Dianne Walker: “He brings with him such a wealth of knowledge with regards to the business of the business, and of course he never lets us forget that this is about ‘show’ business and that is something he does well.” “He is a pleasure to work with. He can entertain his audiences and educate them as well. He is a wealth of knowledge.” said Dianne Walker. “When Ivery is on a stage full of dancers, the only one you see is Ivery. His smile lights up the entire stage and his movements are a combination of genius and magic!”
