In 2012, before I knew anything about line dance events and choreographers, I remember dancing in New Orleans next to a woman whom I'd never met before. I thought I was such hot stuff, strutting front and center in my clunky alligator boots to dance this cool dance called Backstreet Attitude which I'd only learned recently at some bar. In reality, I was so new to dancing I had no technique, no control, and no real style - just a big smile and a lot of cockiness. After the dance ended, this woman turned to me and said in true Southern style and a twinkle in her eye, "I like the new stuff you're adding to my dance." I didn't realize I HAD added new stuff! Mortified, I learned I was dancing next to the actual choreographer of Backstreet Attitude - the one and only Jamie Marshall. She was the first big name in line dancing I'd ever met, and we've been great friends ever since. This tribute is dedicated to Jamie for her infectious energy, positivity, humor, love, encouragment, and creativity. Happy Birthday, Jamie, and Happy 20th Anniversary of Backstreet Attitude.
