Kambala Residents Participate in Strictly Wandsworth!

The Kambala community was proud to be involved in Strictly Wandsworth, the first major public event of Wandsworth’s London Borough of Culture 2025 celebrations. This spectacular dance event brought together over 150 dancers from across the borough, representing a wide range of dance styles.

As a Chair of the Kambala Estate Residents’ Association and a London Borough of Culture Champion, I wanted to involve our resident in the community dance. So I organised a special session for our residents who are part of the Kambala Flamenco class to be involved. They learned the Strictly Wandsworth group dance and took part in a video performance that was premiered at the event choreographed by Jeanefer Jean-Charles who specialised in Mass dance choreography. Her work includes the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on 27 July 2012.

Can you believe that the Strictly Wandsworth dance was performed by over 3000 people on the day at this sold-out event!

I also secured free tickets for some Kambala residents to attend this sold-out celebration. See if you can spot some of our residents doing the Strictly Wandsworth Dance!

It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved and a great way for our community to be part of this exciting cultural moment for Wandsworth!
