Dear Community Leaders,

We hope you’re doing well!

We are excited to invite your community to be part of something truly special at July Utsav 2026 — Festival of Colors. As we celebrate our 5th annual UTSAV, ICAM is organizing a community flash mob, and we would love for your group to participate.

Here’s how it works:

🎶 Perform a dance of your choice that reflects your culture — folk, regional, traditional, or festive
👥 Minimum of 4 participants per group
⏱️ Performance length: 90 seconds to 3 minutes
👗 Colorful attire encouraged — no strict dress code
🎊 All groups will come together at the end for one grand finale flash mob on stage

The event will begin with an opening flash mob by ICAM and close with all participating groups joining together, making it a true celebration of our diverse community.

There is no limit on the number of groups, and participants may perform in more than one group. Performance order will be decided through a fun random draw.

If your group is interested, please reply to [email protected] or email [email protected] by the end of June. We will share full participation details and finale choreography for everyone to practice in advance.

Let’s make July Utsav 2026 our most colorful celebration yet!

Warmly,
Prasaad “Piku”
Outreach Director, ICAM Rochester
