For The Creators

Heritage Social Arts & Dance spends nine to ten months rehearsing for Carnival. Dance is at the heart of what they do and the energy at the rehearsal is infectious. Toddlers, teens (and even the occasional parent) bounce to the vibrant beats of souped-up dancehall. The aim of the group is to encourage and to promote social inclusion, equal opportunities, prevent antisocial behaviour, promote social relationships within the community and the group by bringing family values back to the community through social activities, arts and dance.The group’s float has appeared at Carnival for the last 15 years, and it’s always been in the top three at judging. It receives no outside funding and it depends on the passion of its volunteers. - Bex Shorunke, Timeout MagazineWe spotlight Heritage Roadshow today and discuss the role of carnival in bringing together a community and the importance of Carnival in London cultureLinks:https://heritageroadshow.co.uk/https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/meet-the-londo
