Jamie Jackson is a New York native, born and raised in Brooklyn. He has been dancing since the age of 5 and got his break as a choreographer at the age of 11 when he did some work for the block-party in his neighborhood. However, while following his dream to be a choreographer, Jamie took a good detour singing in the Grammy Award wining LFT Church Choir under the direction of Hezekiah Walker. While in the choir Jamie had the opportunity to work with artists such as Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Praz of the Fugees, Shirley Caesar, and P. Diddy.
After finding Broadway Dance Center, Jamie returned to his first love - dance and has had the opportunity to choreograph for the "Let's Dance" video, mini tour for Hezekiah Walker and a BET Janet Jackson Tribute to name a few accomplishments. His work and dedication was noticed by Shawnette Heard who asked him to choreograph in Broadway Remix, an off Broadway production she directed. He has also been featured in videos including: "All Things" (Fab 5), "Chabine" (Matt), and "99 Problems" (Jay-Z).
With a natural gift of movement, Jamie's style of choreography emphasizes interpreting the song and telling the story through the dance. His goal is to bring out the versatility and performance qualities in dancers, helping to prepare them to dance out side of the classroom.
