Ambassador Jamin Jackson

Lindy Hop service

“My greatest impact has been made by sharing my love and knowledge of Lindy Hop to students in over 27 countries. This is largely credited to the Frankie Manning Foundations initial belief in my potential by granting me as one of the first ambassadors a scholarship to Herrang Dance Camp for education.

Because of my international efforts expanding Lindy Hop into new territories, I have become a founding board member of two non profit swing dance focused organizations and have recently been accepted as one the newest board members of the Tulsa Global Alliance non profit organization.”

Power of Reconciliation

In 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma had one of the worst race riots in US history, leaving a deep scar on our community. Despite the efforts of many, Tulsa like many cities has struggled to fully recover.

In 2012, my wife and I launched an international event to demonstrate how we could unite a city and its people through the power of Lindy Hop.
