Performing Art – Nashville

Jami Dawson was born and raised in Clarksville, Tennessee. Jami started dance classes at the age of six years old. Due to her shy personality, yet constant grooving around the house, her mom enrolled her in classes. Quickly she fell in love and dance grew into her life-long passion. Throughout her dance career, Jami has studied under the teachings of top teachers and choreographers such as: Deleann Holt, Jon Carr, Tucker Knox, Chris Fedun, Chi Lopes, Corey Cox, Travis Cooper, Joanne Hunter, Chaz Pirtle, Hannah Wintrode, and Sydney Moss. She has assisted for Deleann Holt, Jon Carr, Chelsea Hough, Chaz Pirtle, Sydney Moss, and Hannah Wintrode. Jami was a member of the Elite Experience Competition Team at Acro Dance Express LLC for seven years. Throughout her time in this company they received seven national championships. In 2016 Jami was signed with Fresh Talent Group in Nashville, TN as a dancer, actress, and choreographer. Being signed with Fresh Talent Group has given Jami professional experience throughout Nashville, TN in many areas including dancing, acting, and performing. Jami is a very motivated dance teacher and choreographer in the Nashville and Clarksville areas. Her teaching and choreography skills have equipped her to be able to choreograph and stage coach the hit singing group Timeflies for their 2018 tour. Her work has received choreography awards from the following national dance competitions: Fire and Ice and Platinum National Dance Competition. Most recently, Jami's choreography won the Emerging Artist Choreographic Festival in Bowling Green, KY!
