Dance Woking was invited to attend CarFest South this August bank holiday weekend, taking place at Laverstoke Park Farm, Hants.

What is it? Chris Evans had a dream…it’s called CarFest. A festival of cars, music and food for all the family. There’s a hill climb, magnificent cars, awesome music, mouth-watering food and a packed schedule entertainment in the air and on the ground!
CarFest raises money for BBC Children in Need (registered charity number 802052, England and Wales, and SC039557,Scotland) by donating at least 1/3 of the price paid for each ticket.

Dance Woking led an interactive performance on each day:

Friday’s session was led by Bert Roman – Artistic Director MoveMe assisted by Aimee Bevan.

CarFest South on Saturday proved even more successful as our session preceded the BBC Strictly Salsa workshop. Led by Kate Finegan with Imogen Godwin assisting on stage the dance floor was packed!

Kate Finegan led the Sci-Fi Flash mob routine that was extremely successful this summer at Woking’s Party in the Park; can you spot a well known Radio 2 presenter amongst the dancers? Usually hosts a 12noon slot.

Sunday saw Dance Woking once again precede BBC Strictly’s salsa workshop which meant a very packed tent. Lots of great participation. Kate Finegan led a MoveMe interactive performance using Bert Romans choreographer to T Rex’s ‘We Love to Boogie’. Dance Woking were supported by adult group Illume who opened the Dance Woking session performing to music from the movie ‘Inception’.

August saw Dance Woking once again partner NCS (National Citizen Service) and host 10 – 15-17 year olds who volunteered their support to raise funds and Dance Woking’s profile both in Woking and at CarFest South.
