The Okanagan Military Tattoo announced this week that the Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club will be participating in the 6th annual Okanagan Military Tattoo on July 27- 28 at Kal Tire Place in Vernon.
The Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Club was founded in 1997 by Canadian Olympian and Commonwealth Games Champion Camille Martens of Vernon. The Club has been one of the leading forces in the positive development of Rhythmic Gymnastics in Canada, consistently producing Champions, National Team members and International Stars.
The Club draws athletes from across Canada and all over the world for camps and programs. In addition to the consistent production of excellence in competition, for the past 20 years the Club has partnered with the Cirque Theatre Company to produce original theatrical productions using a dynamic fusion of drama, dance, music, Rhythmic Gymnastics and acrobatics to relay captivating stories.
