Next WOTA London Event on September 15
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The club WOTA London has announced on its facebook page that its next event will be on Saturday September 15 at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes, near Russell Square tube station (scroll down the facebook page for a map and directions). Since 2009, WOTA London has been playing anime songs on the dancefloor, along with Sentai, Tokusatu and Seiyuu songs and many others.
The September event will feature live DJs, dance performances from the Maids of England Maid cafe, and medleys from the "dance idol" unit DotDot3, which specialises in K-pop and J-idol dance covers.
The entry fee is £4 (£3 in advance here) and entry is restricted to over-18s.
"Wota" (ヲタ - pronounced ota) is a shortened version of the Japanese word "otaku," and refers to idol-otaku. It is also often used in conjunction with a particular area of interest, for example anime fans are referred to as "anime-wota."
