We are looking forward to adding a bit vibrant red colour (our red Tai Chi fans) into our fabulous Fellowship Square, Waltham Forest Town Hall, over the summer 2022, for a Tai Chi Fan-tastic project at Fellowship Square! Please help spread the word and help us reach our targeted groups and join this “red sea” against the iconic blue fountain background!
This project is for Waltham Forest residents. Our target groups are people over 60, disabled people and those on low income. For each group, we will run two Tai Chi fan training workshops. In a finale, everyone from all groups will come together, have fun by doing some mini demonstration to showcase their learning (if they want to or they can just watch) and then enjoy a Tai Chi performance by Dao Lu teachers and students.
- Fellowship Square, in front of the Town Hall
- Chairs/bench provided for those who may need to sit down.
- If wet, we will go into the foyer area
- Price – FREE
