Foxy Fridays

2024 is the year we commemorate 10 years since Mat Fox transitioned from this earth. Following discussions from some of the alumni we've decided to celebrate his life with some exclusive sessions gathering together alumni who have been a part of the journey. It would be great to have as many of the old alumni there as possible so share the message on! 

  • Dates:

    Every Friday in June

  • Time:

    7.30pm-9.30pm

  • Venue:

    Spirit Level, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX

  • Ages:

    25 year olds plus

  • Cost:

    It's FREE!

Each week we will take an old Bloco Banger and re-learn it again as a team. There will be drinks on sale and potentially an opportunity to perform the music and dance at the end of the sessions. All proceeds raised through drink sales will go to continuing the work of Kinetika Bloco.

You must be 25+ to take part in this project - therefore a full on alumni of Kinetika Bloco, not someone who still comes along!
