Contestants set to walk the ramp for ‘May Queen 2017’

ManamaIt’s that time of year again, when all of Bahrain’s aspiring ‘belles of the ball’ get set to hit the catwalk in their quest to win the coveted Indian Club May Queen title. 

The annual Indian Club May Queen event, well known for both its beautiful contestants and its innovative and exciting stage set-ups will take place on May 18 and is open to all contestants over 16 and who reside in Bahrain. 

The organisers welcome as diverse an entry list as possible without a restriction on nationality. A big crowd is expected to pack into The Indian Club’s Gudaibiya premises for what should be a tremendous evening of entertainment. 

In addition to the beauty and sophistication of the contestants, the audience of VIP guests, dignitaries, sponsors and spectators will be treated to spectacular stage shows, including traditional and modern dance routines by talented local performers.

The format of the event will be similar to previous years with three rounds – casual-wear, ethnic or national costume, party-wear – for the ladies to impress the judges and qualify for a final ‘Question and Answer’ round. 

The categories being judged will include The Indian Club May Queen 2017, 1st Runner-Up; 2nd Runner-Up, Best Smile, Best Hairdo, Best Walk and Members’ Choice.

All the ladies’ on-stage moves will be choreographed by Kevin D’Cunha, a well established Bahrain based choreographer who has choreographed the Indian Club May Queen event on a number of occasions in the past, including the last two years. 

“This is one of the high spots of The Indian Club’s year, when we can really show-case the strength of The Club’s entertainment programme; The Indian Club May Queen has been going for many years now and it is well deserving of its place in the Kingdom’s social calendar. The beauty of this year’s contestants will combine with an innovative and thrilling stage show to provide a spectacular evening for everyone to enjoy. The lucky lady who takes home the crown will be welcomed as our May Queen 2017,” said Cassius Pereira, President of The Indian Club.
