Performing
I found the art of Pole Dancing in 2012 and it has since changed my life. I stepped into the majestic doors of Dollhouse Pole Dance (www.poledanceminneapolis.com) and instantly found a new hobby, sport, passion and community that accepts everyone, and allows each dancer to develop a unique style. Creating new choreography for class is an exciting challenge since I do not have formal dance training- but it is one of my favorite aspects of Pole. I have been fortunate enough to travel across the country to teach and take various classes, seminars and camps with some of the industries most influential pole performers. I am able to channel my competitive energy into being the PSO training center coach for Dollhouse-- I truly enjoy leading women in their competition journeys. Make sure to check out the Dollhouse website to keep up to date on when my next performances and classes are!
I have the travel bug! Hailing from little ol' Wausau, Wisconsin, I was never able to travel much but knew I needed to see more of this wonderful world. I love adventuring to different states and can not wait until I make it out of the country. California is always at the top of my travel list and have been there a handful of times, followed by Vegas, New York, Chicago, Colorado, Tahoe and the Boundary Waters.

Oh, Photography. What a journey this has been so far. The name Jamielee 'June' was derived from my whole first name and the middle name of my late Grandmother, LuAnne June Wagner. There are many things in life that I quietly and privately dedicate to my Grandma Lu, but I decided early on that photography would be a public way for me to honor her memory. She supported so many of my endeavors as a child and I know she would have supported this as well.
I purchased my first camera, a Canon Rebel t5, in June of 2015 and not even a year later was hired as a photographer for Studio 106. Experimenting and exploring are the two best ways to describe what the past few months have been with trying to teach myself photography.
