“It’s amazing to see how far Shumka has come, and I’m exciting to see how far it can go in the future.”

Katelyn Kuchta joined Shumka in 2014 and has continued to develop her talent, taking on the lead role of Lesia for our March 2019 re-launch of Ancestors and Elders. Additionally, Katelyn serves on Shumka’s Artistic Committee and is a Dancer Representative on the Board of Directors, all while studying Nursing at the University of Alberta. Her commitment to excellence both on and offstage help Shumka remain one of Canada’s top dance companies. Thank you, Katelyn.
