They made their Broadway debut together in 1916 and appeared in the famous Irving Berlin "Music Box Revues" of the 1920s. As well, they toured the United States, performing at major venues such as the National Theatre in Washington, D.C..
Where their dancing career ended, they moved to Los Angeles, California where her husband became a successful director of musical comedy films. They had two children, a son Joseph born in 1916 and a daughter Betty born in 1928.
Ivy Sawyer-Santley died in California in 1999 at the age of 101.
