Strictly Wandsworth
We had 4,700 attendees and 200 dancers take part in this incredible event, which saw the Battersea Park fountains transform into an electrifying celebration of dance and movement!
Strictly Wandsworth came to Battersea Park on Saturday 26 April 2025. This spectacular performance was the inaugural event of Wandsworth Council’s tenure as London Borough of Culture. Thank you to everyone who was involved and to everyone who came along.
Strictly Wandsworth's pinnacle was the biggest dance spectacle the borough has ever seen, bringing together 200 dancers from 22 local organisations. Created by world-renowned choreographer Jeanefer Jean-Charles (London 2012 Olympics), the event featured various groups including Tavaziva Dance and London Children’s Ballet, culminating in a mass dance finale led by Patience J ( accomplished dancer, choreographer and TikTok star), where everyone could join in!
The day featured workshops, performances, and interactive activities, designed for all ages, abilities, and interests; because even if you have two-left feet, dance is for everyone to enjoy. Groups involved included Royal Academy of Dance, Nine Elms Arts Ministry, London Children's Ballet, BAC Impact Dance Academy, SaSalsa, Ashley Dance Academy, Baked Beans, Pointe Black, Nuffield Health, Lucie Benson, MACS Dance, JLee, Productions, Tavaziva, Ballet Soul, Flow Dance, Mauritian Fusion and Movement Works.
