Biography:
Her full name is Jazzmine Raycole Dillingham. Jazz is a professional dancer as well as an actress. Her mother owned and operated a private dance studio where she began Jazz’s training at the tender age of 22 months. By the time she was three she was performing in as many as 14 numbers in her yearly recitals and began to dance in competitions, subsequently winning State Championship Titles in Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Ethnic dancing for three years running. She has since trained with many top choreographers and was handpicked to be a member of LA Images dance troupe. She is currently dancing under the supervision of multi-talented choreographer Debbie Allen.

When Jazz wanted to add acting to her show business resume; her mother closed the Stockton, California-based dance studio and backed her choices 100%. With her parents' guidance and support, Jazz began going to auditions in Los Angeles. After going to an open call by agents and managers, Jazz was chosen by five agents and three managers for representation.

Within the next six months, Jazz booked her first major movie, "Waiting to Exhale," as well as a national commercial. She has gone on to garner over 30 credits in the five years that she's lived in Los Angeles.

Jazz still resides with her parents in the Los Angeles area. She is a well grounded and spiritual young lady who incorporates prayer into her daily life.
