Perrin is a Missouri native and received her B.F.A in dance drum Stepgens College. She graduated with her M.F.A in dance from Sam Houston State University by the time she was 21 years old.
"Being 21 and graduating with my masters was pretty darn cool," said Perrin.
She attended these colleges w ith dance scholarships she won at local and national conventions.
Dancing has always been her favorite pastime, but she recently discovered she had a passion for teaching.
"Teaching makes me happy," says Perrin. "I can just leave my worries at the door and have fun doing what I love."
Dance is a form of therapy. Whatever we go through on life, dance can help people through rough times, she said.
Perrin enjoys dancing in contemporary styles, but says she would rather teach hip hop or jazz. She advises aspiring dancers to train in as many different styles as possible. The more versatile dancer is the more valuable dancer, she said.
Perrin has served as a dance captain in a sumner Six Flags show, and traveled the world performing on the Celebrity Cruise Lines. She has also performed in the pregame show at Superbowl XXXVIII.
Perrin had been a guest teacher and choreographer at national conventions such as American College Dance Festival. She says the first time she taught was overwhelming. It was class of over 300 dancers from different states.
"Jamie's love for dance is contagious," said Crystal Taboada, a former Rhapsody Movement dancer.
Taboada said Perrin effortlessly flows through her movements and is able to pull the crowd into the emotion of the piece.
