Jamica had so many great Ideas and had such wonderful classes last year that when it was time to look for people to work with flying home this year Jamica was at the top of that list.
We are excited to announce that not only is Jamica going to be an instructor at our event but Jamica has been working as a consultant with us also. If there is something amazing happening at Flying Home you can bet that Jamica’s fingerprints are all over it.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Jamica Zion takes pride in being a dynamic follow. Jamica aims for range, not just in connection and style, but across genres too! Jamica holds multiple titles in Blues and Lindy Hop contests from top US events including Lindy Focus, Beantown, and Camp Hollywood. When Jamica is not social dancing, teaching, or working on choreography, they are likely working on dissertation research which focuses on these scenes (that Jamica has been a part of since the age of 15)!
Jamica's approach towards sharing dance with others includes a critical understanding and appreciation of its history and culture, while simultaneously ushering students to build their own styles and meaningful connections to it. Jamica is a Frankie Manning Ambassador for this approach both in the Atlanta community and as a guest instructor in other scenes. Jamica draws on the professional training received while working with organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and educational exposure via a sociology doctoral program which allows Jamica to deliver inclusive, responsible, creative, and original classes.
