Jacynthe Guimond

Jacynthe has been calling Quebecois traditional dances for over 15 years! She is a "caller". This art involves teaching dances, “calling” the moves to the music, and making sure that everyone is having fun! With Jacynthe at the helm, everybody can dance! She adapts easily to all levels of dancers and contexts (ex., weddings, conferences, workshops, camps, festivals, etc.). Her dance repertoire comes from the different regions of Québec. Jacynthe’s bilingual calling skills and her contagious energy make her a crowd favourite! In 2016, she earned the regional distinction of “caller of the year”. She has led dances all over Québec, as well as in Manitoba, Ontario, British Columbia and West Virginia. She also does foot percussion and step-dancing. 

 Jacynthe has been a Jam Camper since 2009. She is looking forward to getting silly with you on the dance floor!  Watch out, she might also pull out some African dance moves that she learned in Burkina Faso and in Mali!
