Our very first Social Community Dance was a great success!

An afternoon filled with dancing and grace, our Social Community Dance was run through our Community Champions grant scheme, allowing locals in south Islington to create and host events and activities; allowing them to give back to their community. This Community Champion was Derek, an Over 55s member of St Luke’s for over a decade. Derek proposed an afternoon dance, which we thought was a wonderful idea to bring the community together.

The event was on Saturday 5th July, attended by over 50 St Luke’s members and south Islington residents and friends. We danced a range of different styles from ballroom to tap to hip-hop! With tea and biscuits provided afterwards to all our dancers, we thank all who came and gave such warm, happy glow to our garden room with dancing on a Saturday! And as always, thank you to the staff and volunteers helping Derek at his event; we hope to host more Social Dances in the future! See below for photos of the event.
