Strictly Wandsworth, the first headline event of Wandsworth's year as London Borough of Culture, will take over Battersea Park on Saturday with a celebration of dance. Hosted by Strictly champion Oti Mabuse, the event features a star-studded line-up of workshops, performances, and interactive activities for all ages and abilities, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and fun.

A major highlight will be a mass dance performance featuring 200 dancers from 22 local groups, created by acclaimed choreographer Jeanefer Jean-Charles MBE, whose credits include the London 2012 Olympics and Buckingham Palace's Coronation Festival. The finale, led by TikTok sensation Patience J, invites everyone to join in a borough-wide celebration of movement.

Strictly Wandsworth takes place on Saturday 26 April. You can find out more and book your free ticket here.
