Jaime began dancing at a very young age and realized right away that this was her passion. She has since been examined at the Associate teaching level with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D.) in the Modern Theatre and Tap Faculty receiving the highest marks of Distinction and Honors. In addition to her teaching qualifications, Jaime holds the Advanced 2 level dancing certificates in both Modern and Tap receiving Honors as well.
