Our energetic drum masters will lead the activity and get teams to play, listen and react as one cohesive unit with the aim of achieving a common goal. Each team will be taught one section of a performance piece for the grand finale.
Zone 2: Haka

It's a show of strength and unity that's fun to learn and perform. We'll supply the tribal face paint, it's up to the participants to use their team work skills to master the dance and put on a show stopping performance!
Zone 3: American Junk Funk
A union of street dance and urban percussion, this dance form is fresh from the streets of New York. Our junk funk guru will get teams to throw away their inhibitions and use dance and movement in creative ways. Expect plenty of foot tapping, broom bashing and bin thrashing!
