With successful mainstream shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor we're seeing a massive trend in requests for performance related team building events.
Here are our top 5 team building events that involve plenty of movement, laughter and dance:
This event is all about energy, excitement and pure joy. You'll have a blast as you experience the beat and begin to learn simple steps to build a routine with your colleagues. The instructors will have everyone moving from the start as you break down the routine into simple steps, adding hand movements, eye and facial expressions into your dance for dramatic effect. For the finale you'll be split into teams as you experience the big Bollywood and Bhangra dance-off. It's time to discover your inner dancer as you learn to laugh, relax with colleagues and express yourself through music and movement. This isn't your average dance class either as you learn to bring individual creativity and team work together. Learn the steps to the beat and perform with dancers as you clap, cheer and chant. Bollywood Boost also encourages a whole host of team building benefits from creativity to communication, building trust and confidence boosting skills.
Do you think you could match your performance to the level of the stars from Strictly Come Dancing? It's a chance to prove yourself as you learn to tackle a routine as delegates compete to become Salsa Sensation Champions. You'll start the session with a quick briefing as the instructors teach the whole group some basic salsa movements to a hot Latino beat. Once the group is up to speed on the basics they'll be split into pairs or small groups and learn a specially crafted routine. All delegates will be given time to perfect their routines before the competition starts as the panel of judges award scores to the top winners.
