Zoku bellydance
ZOKU族 dances fat chance bellydance style, which is a modern, group, improvisational style of belly dance created by Carolena Nericcio, fusing movements inspired by folkloric dances of the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and India. It is a uniquely modern creation that does not represent an “authentic" dance from any particular region.
The BATS of Ealing
This accomplished 5-piece plays a wide variety of rock, pop and funk classics, from Bowie to Blue Sky, McCartney to Maroon 5, Stevie Wonder to Walk The Moon. They will have you stomping your feet, singing out loud and dancing on the grass! The BATS were formed in Ealing in 2002 by Bill on guitar, Alan (the Chiswick milkman, now retired) on drums/vocals, Terry on vocals/guitar and Stu on bass/vocals. Stu moved away and was succeeded on bass by Graham, while Mel now completes their sound on keys and sax. Of the many gigs at pubs, street parties, and private parties over the years, a recent highlight was closing Glastonbury festival with the crowd at the Fluffy Rock Cafe after Coldplay's headlining set.

Rock Choir
Formed in 2009, Chiswick Rock Choir is lead by musician Katy Seath. The choir welcomes everyone who loves to sing, with no audition or requirement to read music. Chiswick Rock Choir have loved performing at Green Days over the last 7 years, iand other local events such at the Chiswick Flower Market and Chiswick House. We rehearse on Thursday evenings, 7:30 - 9pm at Hogarth Community Centre. To book a free taster, visit www.rockchoir.com
Stagecoach Chiswick
We teach our students so much more than how to sing, dance and act. We help them blossom into well-rounded individuals, ready to embrace life and its opportunities. With 30 years’ experience in teaching the performing arts, we understand how to get the best out of our young performers. We delight in seeing our students have fun, make friends, learn new skills and discover hidden talents. We encourage them to take ‘safe risks’ through rehearsals and performance, which brings out a willingness to take on new challenges. It’s so important for today’s children to be resilient, brave and self-assured. See more on our website. Over the years we have seen more than one million students unlock their potential, which is something they will value for their whole lives.
The Basement Door
At The Basement Door our vision is to see young people empowered and facilitated through learning and performance to enhance their employability within their local community. The wider picture is to see the community come together to support our work with young people and to put us in a position where we can plant similar projects in other areas.
