West India Dock Party

Yesterday afternoon we drove down to the West India Docks. They were holding the annual Global Village Party. Tons of white sand had been transported here to make an extensive, temporary children's beach, complete with deck-chairs and beach-theme accessories like Punch and Judy (and why didn't I take a photo?).
Our friend Toni, from tango, was organizing the dance stage, which he calls "Global Village". It is the most inclusive event I know. Everybody was encouraged to have a go, and there were all kinds of dance displays and workshops including, bollywood, majorettes, line-dancing and belly-dancing, as well as ballroom, tango and swing.
We met Jackie, with her daughter-in-law and grand-daughter, Freya and Lola.
