Dance Team Building Events

Timescale: 30 minutes to 2 hours / Group size: 5-2000+ people

Our Thriller dance team building event is one of our most popular events because it is huge fun, uplifting, energising and inherently team building in nature. It really brings people together amidst laughter and amazement as they share a unique experience learning the iconic dance moves from Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

But although the event is always a total success, the zombie vibe isn’t always the right choice for a client when booking their corporate event. And that is why we also offer several other dance styles that contain the same magic as the Thriller event just without the fake blood and gore!

This means will can still give you the energy, the feel good factor, the high fiving and the moves but we can tailor it to fit your theme or company message.

“We are often invited to PA/EA functions and I can safely say this was the best event I’ve been to in my 7 years as a PA. The event was well organised, the staff were superb and the activities were all of a high standard. Kindest Regards, Charlotte”

We have an ever growing list of dance genres that we can use to bring just the right energy to your corporate event. Sometimes they fit perfectly with the overall theme of your event but sometimes they might just create the right level of fun that would suit your team. But as you can see below, there is something there for everyone to have a great time using dance team building for your next event.

“Thanks so much for a great team building activity, it went down really well and everyone really enjoyed it! Pretty much the whole team loved it, including those of us with no co-ordination at all haha… we had a few people who said it was totally out of their comfort zone and weren’t overly excited when we surprised them, but by the end of it they were loving it too!”

Rosie Allen, HR Advisor, Campus Living Villages

Grease

We tap into the magic of the iconic 70s film Grease with Danny and Sandy strutting their stuff around the fun fair. This is such a fun theme and really easy to learn in this team building scenario. It works for any group size but it is quite fun to have a couple of senior team leaders to play the parts of Sandy and Danny. We can split into smaller groups as well and create smaller group sections which culminate in the final dance off!

Street/Commercial

If you want something urban and hip then this is the one. Here we are bringing the hip hop culture from the street to the conference center. Think baseball caps and baggy trousers with attitude and you get the idea. This can also work really well alongside out Beat Box Mania event as they both draw on the same area of pop culture.

Tap

Here we bring the art form of tap dancing from the theater stages to your workplace. This is a tricky style but our choreographers break it down in a fun and entertaining way which makes this easy, accessible and lots of fun. It’s a really high energy and fun genre and people always love coming together and having the chance to try it.

Jazz

Another style which we bring from the Vaudeville stage to the UK workplaces is jazz dance. Touching on things such as the Charleston, Jitterbug, Boogie Woogie and swing, this has become very popular with the rise of the TV hit show Strictly Come Dancing.

Ballet

Our ballet sessions are hilarious. We approach these from the perspective that we’re going to have fun giving it a go, rather than any serious intent to master the style in a session. As a result delegates spend the entire session laughing and having fun whilst giving it their best. Interestingly the men get stuck into this style more than the women. Tutus are optional!

Line dance

We bring the American line dance event to Europe with cowboy boots and stetsons. The line dance event is popular because it’s fun, it’s different but it’s a little less energetic and therefore easy to grasp. If you have a bigger event then we can run this with our live band to give it more impact and encourage louder, “yee-has!”

Motivational Speaker Ideas

Do you want some fresh motivational speaker ideas for your next event?

We are often called because people want new motivational speaker ideas. Keeping your audience engaged is difficult and although many motivational and keynote speakers have a great story, many of them don’t possess the art of communicating with a large audience and keeping them interested.

If you want a motivational speaker idea that blows the standard old monologue style speech out of the water then we can help.

We use music as the medium and it’s delivered via facilitators who are used to being on a stage in front of large audiences so they are guaranteed to get everyone in the room pumped up, inspired and engaged.

We deliver the key message in an engaging session that can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours and is completely interactive. That’s right, your delegates will be part of the session rather than spectators clock watching and waiting for lunch time.

That’s why people come to us for motivational speaker ideas when they need something special to make a real impact. Below are our two top events used for motivational speaker sessions.

“I loved how different it was from anything we’ve done before or anything that’s available elsewhere. I liked working with your booking team on building the event and found the whole process really easy. You guys took any pressure away and delivered a fabulous event on the night.” Amy Moore – RSA Group

Our motivational speaker ideas are unique so you can avoid people feeling like they’ve experienced it before. They also have scope for us to tailor them to your event so we can incorporate any key messages or themes so the whole day feels consistent and ties together seamlessly. And of course they will get your delegates pumped up, energised, buzzing and in a moment where they have achieved something special as a group to create a shared positive experience.

This will make your overall event much more effective and optimise the whole effort.

We can come in half way through the day to re-energise the group or deliver the session at the end to top it all off on a high and leave people buzzing and talking to each other about their shared experience.

These events have been enjoyed by big names such as:

• Tiffany & Co.
• KFC
• Sainsbury’s
• Boots
• Asda
• Ikea
• RSA Group
• Pfizer
• Shell
• Dairy Crest
• GE Aviation
• And many more…..

Our popular motivational speaker events for your conference are:

The Rock and Roll Choir Experience

“It wasn’t just creating a choir, the energy and the way in which you engaged with the crowd was brilliant. Even on the toughest of days, you all managed to get most of them involved! I absolutely loved it every day! I only wish we had more than 45 mins!!” Rebecca Nicholson – Retail Support Manager UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

Our vocal coaches teach your delegates the harmonies for a famous rock song. We have scope to tailor the lyrics to your event and we have the pick of hundreds of songs so we can choose something relevant to your company or corporate message. Even the most reluctant singers get stuck in and enjoy the uplifting feeling when our expert facilitators have warmed them into it.

“I don’t want to lose the moment of praise so before I sign off for the weekend I wanted to say thank you. You took a last minute request in your stride and couldn’t have been more helpful. The event was a huge success and the team loved it and that was largely down to the speaker and her lovely, bubbly personality – she is an asset to you and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. The team were a bit anxious to find out what they were doing but everyone embraced it and was surprised at how much they enjoy it. Overall a huge success and a great night had by all – thank you.” Hannah Eborall – Executive Assistant – LifeSearch

The Boomwhacker Experience

“The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

Using pitched percussion tubes, the boomwhacker experience shows the power of working together as we move through a fun rhythmic session which ends up as an orchestra performing a piece by Mozart. Nothing demonstrates how the sum is greater than the parts than working together to create a classical orchestra from a modest plastic tube.

Once you have chosen your team building activity it’s time to think about the team building venue. Finding the perfect team building venue will add value to your team building or corporate event, especially if you are trying to achieve the wow factor! Are you looking for one in a particular location that is easily accessible to participants or are you looking for a venue that fits with a specific theme? Whatever your requirements it’s important that you get this right as it will impress those attending as well as contribute to the overall success of your event.

Location

When picking the right team building venue it’s important to research the location thoroughly and ensure that it has good transport links such as being near motorways or even airports. This will make sure that delegates can get to the venue easily. Making the location easily accessible will make everyone’s life easier but will also encourage more people to attend the event.

Capacity

Picking the right size venue for your team building event is crucial to ensure the event runs smoothly and feels right. For instance if you have a venue capacity which is too small, then the event will feel over crowded and uncomfortable for the participants but if it is too vast it will feel empty and lost. It might be good to visit the location in advance to get a feel for the space and envisage how it will work on the day. Depending on what the chosen team building activity is, you may need everyone to be in one room or separate them into groups. If this is the case you need a venue with appropriate rooms to do this. Research is the key here and making sure you plan ahead of the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Originality 

Finding a venue that has that wow factor is usually top of everyone’s to do list. Picking a unique venue will go a long way in complimenting your theme (if you have one) and will help set a good tone and mood for the day. If your corporate event is high end elegance and sophistication you may be looking for a plush 5 star hotel, if it’s a music event you may want a music venue or hall. If it’s a medieval banquette you could select a castle or old historical building. It’s fun to pick something different that will have a lasting impression on your delegates.

Customer Service 

This is sometimes overlooked as we tend to get so caught up in the venue’s size and look but it is just as important. Your chosen venue needs to have a good customer service team who are on hand to help you with the planning prior to the event but who are also very hands on when it comes to the event itself. This is crucial to the overall success of your team building event and ensures that everything runs smoothly. We suggest you print out an itinerary on the day with appropriate contact details of any staff who are helping with the planning so the venue have something to work with on the day.

Facilities 

A good venue with have excellent facilities for events as a standard. This will include a variety of meeting rooms and halls, technological support and catering staff. Check what is included in the price before booking and if you are having an event being held over a couple of days remember to check for accommodation.

Team building is an extremely important and vital part of any company. In recent years it has become more popular and has been proven to increase employee moral and positivity, which in turn will have a huge impact on the success of your company.
