Jeremiah O'Connor
A native of Chicago's South Side, Jeremiah O'Connor began studying Artistic Gymnastics at the age of 12 as a supplement to his Ballet training. Throughout his career in dance, he continued to incorporate acrobatics into his regimen: finding that the mental and physical benefits it provided enabled him to be more successful as a professional performing artist.
Jeremiah enjoys teaching children and helping them to discover their innate abilities. He has instructed for the Lakeshore Academy of Artistic Gymnastics, IK Gymnastics, The Actor's Gym, MSA Circus Arts, the Ruth Page Foundation School of Dance and the Performer's School. He directed tumbling and gymnastics programs for the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club and the University of Chicago Lab School.
