As a fundraiser for the Larch Hills Ski Chalet Expansion Project, I learned how to dance The Samba in the Dancing with the Shuswap Stars competition in 2017. You can check out the live streams here! Who wins is decided by a combination of votes between the judges and audience members. It’s about recognizing that everyone has talent, but it stays hidden unless an opportunity is presented for that talent to blossom. It was a lot of hard work, but I had a great instructor (Jens from City Dance) to help me through it, and the support of many family and friends. Their next event will be another celebration of dance and culture to match last year’s first ever sold out event with a new crop of local celebrities watch them unleash their hidden dance talents to compete for four trophies – a runner up and overall winner in two categories. For the audience it will be an evening of fun, laughter, good food, drink, great company and exciting entertainment. If you’re not sure, it’s worth the money ask anyone who attended last year’s event. I highly recommend you check out this fun event, but do hurry as tickets sell out quickly!
