Jamarsa Peters, Meet Me On Da Floor President

Jamarsa Peters is a business professional with an astute financial acumen, an empathic heart, and a strong sense of business and personal responsibility. These qualities were shaped largely by his family dynamic.  He is the oldest of two siblings.  It was after the death of his mom that he assumed paternal responsibility for his younger siblings.  With this responsibility, he decided to become this paragon for positivity and for excellence that his siblings could emulate.  Because he wanted to be that example for his family, he chose to pursue higher education at Grambling State University where he majored in Business Information Systems; subsequently, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in 2006. In college, he was a member of the collegiate cheerleading team and received technical dance training while being a part of the Orchesis Dance Company under the direction of Dianne Maroney-Grisby, former Alvin Ailey dancer. In addition to his business acumen, he is an extremely powerful choreographer, dancer, and producer having danced with LGBTQ underground Legendary male J-Sette teams like Grambling X-Men, Memphis Elite, and the Texas Teasers where he currently resides in Dallas. Currently, he is recognized as an Icon in the Meet Me On Da Floor dance community where he now serves as President while continuing to change the narrative and making a difference one 8 count at a time!

Re-Sette the Stage—a three-part conversation series happening in August, September, and October 2021—was conceived by Jamarsa Peters in partnership with Jermone Donte Beacham and jumatatu m. poe.
