At Kamloops Performance Company, we are gearing up for a provoking celebration of artistic expression—the 4th Annual Kamloops Performance Company In-House Dance Festival.
With over 200 talented dancers of all ages coming from Kamloops, Merritt, and Ashcroft, this festival promises to be a showcase of passion and dedication.
We are privileged to welcome esteemed professionals, Adjudicators Amanda McLaren, and Heather Dotto, journeying from Vancouver to lend their expertise to our event.
Heather Dotto is a diverse performer trained in many forms of dance and theatre at Caulfield School of Dance. With a sharp focus for detail and an undeniable love of attention, Heather has been fortunate to turn her passion for performing into a career and lifestyle she adores. Following graduation, Heather began dancing for Josh Beamish’s Move: the Company in 2005. For the following seven years, she performed, toured, and grew to be artistically involved in many new creations by Director, Josh Beamish. Within the company, Heather also performed works by Simone Orlando, Amber Funk-Barton, Susan Mensinger, and Danny Austin.
Amanda McLaren‘s diverse background includes many international credits and performances. Trained in RAD Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary & Hip Hop, she began her professional career at the young age of 14 with PRP Productions, whom she still consistently performs with. She has worked extensively in the commercial & theatre industry for the past 15 years. Amanda has performed, taught and adjudicated throughout Europe, South America, Canada and the United States.
