We will run some choreography and movement and explain some of the options you can take part in.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in!

If you are a dancer and have jazz shoes, please bring these with you too.

Information you need to know:
  • The young person must be attending Norjam as a paid participant or dependent (aged 7+) and will camp and take part in the activities with their group and only join us for the opening and closing ceremonies.
  • The commitment from September 2024 until July 2025 will be one Sunday afternoon a month for around 2 hours in Norwich. For those in the opening parade only it will be less than this.
  • The young person must have all photo and video permissions in place including live streaming.
  • April 2025 will be a slightly longer session as this will include a photo shoot session.
  • July 2025 will include a family and friends preview event.
  • Dance ability will vary, some will be easy, some more challenging but as we will have a mix of ages 7 up to adults we will tailor the roles to the ability of the young person – they do not need to dance to be in the production.
  • There is no charge at all for any of the sessions or the preview event.
We will provide:
  • All costumes needed to be borrowed (no costume charge or rehearsal charge)
  • Main stage t-shirt (for those in a dance number when this is needed)
  • There will be an option of purchasing the Main stage hoodie/zip up/t-shirt if you wish for one.
You will need to provide:
  • Tights – as advised depending on the numbers (for dancers) plus black socks.
  • Shoes – as advised depending on the numbers (likely to be Black Jazz shoes/alternatives for non-dancers).
  • Flesh coloured undergarments (for those on stage).
  • Make-up and hair accessories to have your hair/make up done (for those on stage).
  • Black trainers (senior dance team only).
  • Plain black leggings.
  • Scouting/Guiding uniform if part of the opening parade.
At Norjam:
  • On the first Saturday you will be needed for a rehearsal in the afternoon.
  • On the final Friday you will be needed for a rehearsal for the closing (if allocated roles in this – it will mean missing the final activity session, but you get to do this instead).
  • If we have dependants (ages 7-9) we will be using them for mostly Cub and Brownie Days but also parts of the main opening and closing if they wish to take part.
