Jamica Zion will be joining us for a very special Q&A practice this Sunday! Bring your dance questions, and Jamica will teach a mini dance lesson for each question. Jamica is an expert in slow Lindy, follow voice, performance, and much more. You can let us know your questions before the practice (through email, Messenger, or Discord) or ask questions in real-time. Be aware that we will prioritize questions that come in to us prior to practice. After the Q&A, people will have 30 minutes to freely practice the content of the Q&A session, and Jamica will be available to provide individual feedback.

ABOUT JAMICA ZION
Currently living the nomadic life, Jamica Zion takes pride in being a groovy solo dancer, a dynamic follow, and growing lead. Jamica aims for range, not just in connection and style, but across genres too! Since starting Jazz and Blues dances 15 years ago, she’s collected multiple titles from contests across top US events including Lindy Focus, Camp Jitterbug, Beantown, and Camp Hollywood. As a solo artist, Jamica has prioritized performance over contests so instead of a collection of solo wins, she has a diverse and abundant performance portfolio ([check some out on YouTube](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3mEui1kJF-5JhYcluLquzs1aw54NbMMI))! When Jamica is not social dancing, teaching, or working on choreography, she is likely spending time with her dog, reading, playing games, napping, or relaxing with loved ones.
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 draws on their professional training from various social justice organizations and a long educational background which includes nearly three degrees in Sociology. This unique blend of experiences, teacher training, and knowledge allows Jamica to deliver inclusive and culturally responsible classes that are creative, thought provoking, and original!
