Patrick Kerr (dancer)

Patrick Kerr (20 February 1941 – 15 August 2009) was a British dancer and choreographer who introduced and demonstrated dances on the influential TV show Ready Steady Go!.

Born in London, Kerr played guitar in local bands before establishing a career as a dancer with his partner and future wife, Theresa Confrey.

Returning to Britain in 1963, TV producer Elkan Allan hired them to demonstrate some of the latest dance crazes on his new show, Ready Steady Go!.

When the TV show ended in 1966, Kerr joined a version of pop group The Ivy League for a while.

The initiative was successful, and developed into the Bodywork Company Dance Studio, aimed primarily at training dancers and singers for theatre shows and musicals.
