Vera and Jeremy started to choreograph together after years of being dance partners in the company Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Montreal and choreographing individually. They feel that working together is a great advantage complementing ideas together, from a bit distinct perspective heading to the same goal in a sense of aesthetics, ideas, musicality.
Their creation DOMA, which was originally created for Choreographic workshop of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, obtained inclusion in the company repertoire in the mixed bill Parlami d'Amore in May 2019, it was presented at Carte Blanche DAC 2019 in Montreal and was also selected for Noverre-Young choreographers evening in Stuttgart Ballet (that supposed to happen in April 2020). They are finalists of Internernational choreographic competition in Hannover 2020 awarded with invitation to the HANGARTFEST in Italy.
Doma-short film version has been awarded as Winner Best dance video at Rio WebFest 2019 and Gold Winner as Best Short dance at Queen Palm International Film Festival 2020.
They also co-created Solo pour Trois for Gala of Les Grands Ballet and before the work all over the world got interrupted they were finalizing their latest creation FOMO in Montreal, this piece was finally premiered in National Theater Mannheim Germany in June 2021.
ZABA-short dance film that they created during the lockdown of 2020 was in the final selection of Interfaccia Digitale Festival.
