Meet JamiWith over 100 titles in competitive ballroom dancing and an amazing career… I can say I lived many dreams in my life. I have traveled as far as Singapore, throughout Europe, lived in Hong Kong, and even though I grew up on the Jersey Shore, NYC was my home for most of my life.
It all started at the age of 5 when I had my own show on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. My early career consisted of working in commercials, off-broadway, music videos, and I have the great memories of working with stars such as, Ginger Rogers (told great ghost stories in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel), Robert Downey Jr. (yeah, we dated!), Cyd Charisse (she played my mom), performed for Bette Midler (she was so fun!) and Anne Rice (a funny memory in New Orleans at her Halloween party). I guess being born a true Leo, I certainly have the qualities and gift for leading, producing, and directing… which I did in my later career after being the 2nd US in ballroom dancing. My favorite show that I choreographed and directed was ‘Havana After Dark” that ran at the Tropicana for almost 6 months (unheard of, and the biggest stage on the east coast), but also I loved having my own dance troupe for almost 15 years. |
