Jaime Waliczek took dance classes growing up in Chicago at Gus Giordano and Studio Two while doing competitive gymnastics. She continued her training at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After moving to Seattle, Jaime performed with the Eastside Moving Company from 2000-2002, working with people like Deborah Wolf and Wade Madsen, and choreographed a modern piece for them which whetted her appetite to do choreography. After that, Jaime danced with Fusion Dance, Better Biscuit, XODO, Unexpected, R Dance, and Seattle Jazz along with DASS Dance and the Seattle Opera, as dance captain. She began the University of Washington master’s program in Nutrition in 2006, and has enjoyed working with some new people in the dance program at UW. Jaime started Jerboa Dance in 2003 with Christina Johnson to do more choreography, and has put on 4 successful shows in Seattle. In NYC Jaime’s choreography has been shown in the DUMBO festival, the Cool NY festival, DNA Works in Progress and Jerboa Dance's NYC premier, Back from the Brink.
