Donald Adair (born 1960)[1] is an American former ice dancer. With Renée Roca, he is the 1986 U.S. national champion.[2][3] An injury led to Adair's sudden retirement from competitive skating prior to the 1987 World Championships.[4] He married Kelley Morris, the 1977 U.S. junior champion in ice dancing.[1] They have coached at the Indiana Skating Academy in Indianapolis and the Louisville Skating Academy in Louisville, Kentucky.[1]
