YOUR HOSTS
Jamie Holmes’ career has taken her around the world performing on Vegas stages, cruise ships, European tours, throughout the Middle East, USA and Canada, as well appearing in many televisions shows, movies, music videos and stage shows.
She began as a competitive gymnast on the west coast of Canada. Dance was soon integrated into her training, which lead her to The Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts in Toronto, Canada.
After graduating, and while performing in Las Vegas, the circus bug bit her and she further expanded her performance training with Aerial Acrobatics, which combines her love of both dance and gymnastics perfectly. You can now find her performing high in the air as well as dancing on the ground. Throughout her career Jamie has taught all forms of dance, acrobatics, a huge range of fitness classes, and aerial classes to all ages and all levels.
