It developed into a profitable event in USA in 20th century and became a children’s fun party with abundance of sweets ever since. Our one is on Saturday, 31st October in KLS from 6.30-8.30pm.

Anna has been bellydancing since 1993 and continues to study with master teachers in Egypt, Turkey and America in order to keep her dancing exciting & contemporary. She began teaching bellydance in 1997 & has since taught thousands of women in New York, London, Istanbul & Mumbai. She is now one of the most popular Middle Eastern dance professionals in London. Her teaching style is focused on learning proper technique & feeling for the dance but most especially her classes are a a place to have fun, stay fit, learn a new form of self-expressions & meet like minded women
Bellydance class is a time you take for yourself to listen to your body and learn new ways of expression & release, meet new friends & work yourself up to the level of health and fitness you’ve wanted to be in a supportive, all female environment. It doesn’t get much better than this!

On Thursday, 10th September we will join the London Citizens in Wandsworth Town Hall at 11am to present the Director of Housing with our suggestions and practical ideas to reduce overcrowding in our homes like:
1. “space to race”: equipment to hang bikes up in flats so that they don’t stay in the middle of kitchens, rooms, etc.
2. “desks at home”: fold-out desks to do homeworks on, which can be installed in rooms
3. storage cupboards in order to help families keep their rooms clutter-free
4. grand design projects where citizens all work together to install shelves, desks, tidy up gardens, paint rooms, etc…
5. “hidden rooms” idea where walls could be knocked down to make rooms bigger
6. incentives to help families to move from homes which are to big for them to smaller ones.
Join us if you have any other ideas to help children have more of their own space to work and play in.
As Women of Wandsworth we are taking part in children’s sponsored walk in Wandsworth Park on 20th September 2009 in the afternoon to help the elderly in our community have a better life.
