Every summer, Jumping Camel has the absolute pleasure being part of many of Calgary's summer events and festivals. Some of these events include the Inglewood Sunfest, Afro-Caribbean fest, and the Marda Loop Marda Gras. In past years, members of the Caravan would take part in performing, but this year is a little different. If you are a current Camel, have taken at least a level 1 and/ or 2, and have a bit of a performance bug, this may be for you!

​

A bit more info...

Summer performances usually include a short stage performance, and some time walking around the festival area with music, dancing in the street, and interacting with the general public. In order to prepare for these events, dancers meet up every week for 2 hours (2025 practices with be on Sundays for Lilac Fest and Thursday evenings for Marda Gras,  7-9pm) and practice technique and choreography, along with blocking and general performance tech. Practice commitments are non-negotiable and must be attended in order to perform. 

This years stage performance set is capped at 15 minutes, and will be as follows:

 

1. Bahlem Bi Shahrzad (cut)

2. Hassan Ya Khouli 

3. Fe Dahya

4. Drum Solo

5. IWCUBD

​

If you don't know any of the above choreographies, don't panic. Nico will organize a choreo intensive for both 'Fe Dahya' and IWCUBD.

​

If you are interested in performing, please fill out the form no later than April 30th, 2025. Participants will be required to attend an info session to discuss more about summer performances via zoom on May 2nd at 9:30pm
