The fabulous @kerryfdr who is one of the directors of Folk Dance Remixed went to work on the Strictly Cabaret ‘May Day’ afternoon for seniors @hoxtonhall with @hackneycircle & the team at Hoxton. As you can see by these brilliant photos Kerry created a wonderful workshop for their bespoke Maypole which was dreamt up by Poppy who runs the event! Much, much fun was had by all , it brought a smile to everyone’s face and really brought them together in a beautiful way 🥰
The host @topsieredfern did a marvellous job too! Thanks to all the team at Hoxton Hall.
We hope we’ll be back soon to spread some more joy 🥳🥳🥳☀️☀️☀️

@Hackneycircle creates space for older residents in Hackney to move, connect, and express themselves through dance and drumming.
This showcase brought together months of workshops, evolving into a vibrant live performance where participants stepped onto the stage, achieved personal goals, and built confidence through collective energy and support.
This programme reflects the power of creative health to strengthen wellbeing, build confidence, and inspire more people to connect through rhythm and movement in their communities. 🥁💃

Back in April 2025, we captured @hackneycircle Creative Health Showcase which brought months of drumming and dance workshops to the stage. From first-time participants to confident performers, the joy, movement, and connection spoke for itself.
We filmed the live performance, captured interviews with participants and audience members, and crafted a promotional film that highlights how creativity supports wellbeing. Proof of the power of moving together.
Thanks to the crew involved:
