This is one of the very accomplished young dancers who entertained a large audience on Saturday evening at Tolworth Girls School.

She is a member of the Kingston Tamil School, which teaches the Tamil language, music and dance to over 200 young people every week.

The school is just one of the branches of the Surbiton based Institute of Tamil Culture. ITC Fine Arts promotes the arts in the whole community, and is a key member of Kingston's Global Arts.

The ITC Youth Sports Club sponsors football and other teams, and the Kingston Community Centre offers activities, advice and information to adults.
