Last Friday, December 16, King Charles visited JW3 London, a Jewish community centre that acts as a hub for the arts, culture, social action and learning in North London. Charles met with a group of Jewish people who were also survivors of the Holocaust. The monarch was seen dancing and laughing with them.
The Royal Family shared photos of Charles last week with survivors of the holocaust at the community centre in North London.
The royal account tweeted: “As the Jewish community prepares to celebrate Chanukah, The King today joined holocaust survivors for a reception at @JW3London – a community centre that acts as a hub for the arts, culture, social action and learning in North London.”
Body language expert Judi James analysed the King’s actions during the visit, comparing his style of dancing with his late mother’s.
She said: “Although his mother the late Queen would often be seen enjoying dancing, her outings tended to be elegant ballroom style dancing or Scottish reels, or even something country and Western with Philip.

“She rarely, if ever, went into freefall, doing anything less elegant and more spontaneous, but that is exactly what Charles has always seemed to prefer.
“He will often be happiest joining in a group dance where he doesn’t know the steps but where he is delighted to put enthusiasm above technique.”
Analysing the video of Charles dancing with members of the community centre, Judi continued: “His beaming, rounded cheek smiles and cheery crinkled eye smiles show he is also happy to be laughed at for his efforts.
“Charles has always had the performer gene and adored being in the spotlight.
