Line Dancing Conference Energiser or Ice Breaker

Try something different this year and make your delegates shout yeeha!

What is this talk of line dancing at a conference?

You might be familiar with our popular Thriller dance event that works as a very effective conference energiser, ice breaker or team building session. But although that is one of our most popular line dancing, country, conference, ice breaker, energiser, team building events, getting down like a zombie isn’t appropriate for every occasion.

But fear not, there is more than one way to dance. And that’s why we offer our popular dance event in different genres so we can cater for your crowd.

We use the same winning format that we have used for thousands of people in the Thriller event but we tailor it to different styles. This allows us to break the ice, getting everyone engaged and on-board for some fun outside of their comfort zone. We then start learning the steps and rehearsing them up towards the big performance finale.

We have run our events for a large number of well know brands such as Mars Wrigley, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Tiffany and many more. But we also cater for smaller groups and often work with much smaller companies.

And that is the beauty of a dance or singing event in that we are using out bodies or voices so we can work with small groups up to several thousand and the event still works just as well.

And because the events are so effective whilst also being very uplifting and fun, we consistently get great feedback such as:

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

And,

“It was perfect! The facilitator was brilliant and everyone really enjoyed it as well as taking something away that we will use in the future. We couldn’t have asked for anymore and we will definitely recommend The Rock and Roll experience to others!” Ellie Steel – HR Co-ordinator/PA – Zenergi

So if you want to take advantage of our Thriller, Line Dancing or any other style of dance for your next conference, simply get in touch to tell us what you want. Then leave it to us to create something that your delegates will remember for all the right reasons.

Christmas Team Building and Party Ideas

Christmas Team Building & Party Ideas

Create a memorable Christmas party with our music events

Christmas team building, Christmas office party, ideas If you are looking for something different for your Christmas team building and Christmas party this year then we might have exactly what you need. Our music based Christmas team building, energiser and Christmas entertainment events are unique, memorable and highly effective at delivering exactly what each client needs for their event.

All of the events are created bespoke for each client so that they fit your exact needs but they are all based upon our tried and tested events that we know will work perfectly. Below are some of our most popular options.

Rock and Roll Choir

This is one of our most popular events with good reason. The rock and roll choir is a high energy feel good event. It can work well with large groups as an energiser or with small groups for a longer team build session. We can use a Christmas themed song or stay well away from that if you are already fed up with hearing the same songs over and over for two months! There’s even a chance to modify the lyrics and create your own version of a famous song.

“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.

“It was such a pleasure to work with you all, the experience was fantastic and we have had nothing but widely positive feedback.” Claire Paterson – Retail Support Assistant UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

Thriller Dance Event

This might seem like an odd choice but this is really popular as a Christmas event. Of course this is also very popular around October and November with the obvious Halloween connection. But we find that people wanting something different for their Christmas team building or party also love to learn this famous dance, get a zombie makeover and just generally let lose having fun learning some iconic Michael Jackson moves.

“Thanks so much for a great team building activity on Thursday, 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

Make a Music Video

Our make a music video event is amazingly good fun and exciting whatever time of year. However, Christmas time allows us to create a Christmas themed music video with your team. What could be better? You can re-record your own lyrics for a famous Christmas hit song before planning and starring in your own music video. This creates an even bigger impact because everyone can watch the professionally edited video and share it with their friends and colleagues for years to come.

“Everything hit the mark in terms of both people having fun and coming together – the energy was good ! Thank you for making it a success!” – Alex McCulloch Project Leader, Ikea

Christmas Party Entertainment

As well as the Christmas team building and energiser events we create some very special Christmas parties each year with our live band the Right Hook. They take pride in making sure the dance floor is kept full all night. As well as being a great band we also have a totally unique after dinner event that we have created.

It’s called the rock and roll game show and it bridges the gap perfectly between dinner and evening entertainment. Here teams battle it out for prizes in a chaotic, whacky music quiz that sees your delegates on stage with the band, creating play-doh models and competing in air guitar solos. And we have a very special Christmas version that gets everyone competing in a festive game show that sets them up for the dancing that will follow when the band start playing.

“I have had lots of good verbal feedback so far, people loved the live band element because we’ve never had live entertainment before – I’ve never seen so many of them up on the dancefloor! I think they also really enjoyed the quiz and you guys judged the atmosphere really well and went with the flow. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know – you were really professional and I felt like everything was in safe hands and I could relax and actually enjoy the party too!” – Rachel Foskett – Kantar Media

“We were soooooo pleased with the way things went during the day and in the evening. Everyone had a great time thanks to you guys! “ – Amy Moore, Marketing Manager – RSA Group

So if you want to discuss any of these options for your Christmas team building event or a Christmas party for your company team get in touch and we’ll help make sure the event is remembered for the right reasons!

Top Tips to Boost Halloween sales

Posted on 13 September 201613 September 2016 by Social Media Manager

Increase Halloween Sales with these Top Tips

It’s been a busy summer for the Rock and Roll Experience and it looks like it’s now time to hang up our flip flops and bring out the jumper. But before you start preparing for darker evenings and feeling less motivated why not use the season changes as a way to boost your company Halloween sales? There are many holidays and events during the year you can leverage to promote your business and generate more sales.

As we all know Christmas is the most popular and profitable time of year, but with Halloween sales now worth over £330m in the UK alone, it should definitely not be forgotten. The great thing is, you have the chance to have a little fun with it at the same time. Use social media, or local media to promote any special events, products and promotions to ensure you make the most of the spooky season.

Create a Halloween version of a product you sell

Putting a spooky spin on a product you already sell is a fantastic way for your business to get into the spirit of Halloween, while allowing you to keep costs down. For example, if you’re a restaurant, or cafe, you could offer pumpkin spiced coffee or decorated cookies or themed cupcakes. Alternatively, if you run a beauty salon, you could advertise Halloween makeovers, and themed manicures or even children’s face painting! If you’re using social media to advertise your themed products, make sure you include some photographs of what you have on offer, as research suggests that users are more likely to engage with posts that have pictures.

Change your window display for increased Halloween sales

Changing your display to suit the season can really help you to make a good impression on passers by and to entice customers into your business, you should change your window display monthly to keep customers interest. You can also use your windows to promote any special offers or events that you will be running. Give your windows the ultimate Halloween make-over by using lights, cobwebs and pumpkins, which will give your store a fun and festive feel. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to do this.

Run a social Media Competition

You can create excitement with minimal effort by engaging your customers on social media. One way of doing this is to hold an online fancy dress competition. You can encourage your customers to post their best Halloween costumes to your social media site, tagging your business page, or including a hashtag, to involve your followers. A great prize would be a voucher to spend within your business, as people using gift cards spend on average 40% more than the value of the voucher on purchases in store or online.

Partner with another business

Choosing to partner up with another business during important seasonal events of the year can prove to be very beneficial for you and your chosen business and it is a fantastic way to find new customers. Great partner choices include sweets shops, party-supply or fancy dress shops. If you own a restaurant, you could give your customers a voucher to receive discount at a fancy dress shop, and they can do the same for you.

Book a Halloween Themed Team Building Event Halloween sales top tips

If your office or shop employees seem a little flat as the winter months approach, perhaps you are looking for ways to boost team morale within your company and get everyone enjoying themselves and reconnecting as a team.There are many spooky team building events out there which will energise your employees ready for a productive winter.

Rock & Roll Experience

Timescale: 3 hours to 1 day / Group size: 5-55 people

This is our flagship corporate team building event and the one that offers the true rock and roll musical experience. If you’ve ever wanted to perform on a stage in a band then this is the one for you. In as little as three hours our facilitators will teach everyone to play the basic necessities on an instrument, coach them to work as a team to create a song, and then help them get up on stage and perform to their colleagues.

No experience is necessary and anyone can do it. The magic is watching people’s faces of fear and trepidation in the morning, helping them find solutions as a group, and then seeing that moment when they realise that they can actually do this. And when they get up on that stage to perform their song which is always followed by rapturous applause, the adrenalin, smiling, and buzz of that group of people is something that has a long lasting, powerful effect. This truly is a team building event like no other.

We have a hilarious wardrobe of fancy dress costumes for the final performance, so everyone can feel like a true rock or pop star. Plus everyone has their own instruments upon which they are coached by our group of pro musicians, all this from under £1000! It really will be a an experience that you wont forget.
