About the Event
If you think you can jump, then you’ve probably never been to Karamoja. In
this region, both men and women have mastered the art of jumping so high. The Naleyo dance, a wooing dance performed by men and women in two lines
facing each other and jumping as high as possible is performed during the
harvest season and used as a means for young men and women to find love. This dance is a spectacle to watch and the various Karamojong tribes will
be showcasing their skills at this year’s Karamoja Cultural Festival. Come and witness a tradition that has been preserved and passed down for
generations. Grab some Kjong shoes and join in because it’s going to be fun!!
