Jerry Reeve received no formal dance training. He taught himself to dance by watching Janet Jackson music videos. After dropping out of a degree course in communication studies at Middlesex University, he moved to London, signed with an agent 'and the rest is history'. His first job was on Top of the Pops , dancing with Boyzone for their version of 'When the Going Gets Tough'. Luckily, it's been uphill from there, and gigs have included the 'Survivor' promo for Destiny's Child, MTV Awards with Kylie and Whitney Houston, and untold videos. 'I had to wear hot pants and dye my hair pink for Geri Halliwell's 'Bag it Up' video. That was ... interesting.' The 24-year-old's favourite job was dancing with Diana Ross on her world tour. 'Diana was brilliant. When the tour ended, she laid on a pool party as a thank you to all her dancers.' In 2003, Reeve made it down to the final 20 in an audition to dance with his idol, Janet Jackson. In 2013, he was the creative director for the TV series 'Stepping Out' and between 2016-2017, he was working as the creative consultant on 'Michael McIntyre's Big Show.' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2004/sep/19/popandrock, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3562148/ (September 2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHAKirkbride 9/11/2019 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 c337a1f4-627f-4307-bb65-568174e01544
