There are many ways that you can go about doing this evening of dance. The costs differ substantially so that is often the deciding factor as to which option to choose.

You can start before the time and get the couples that are going to compete to learn their dances before hand. There are a few options for this as well. The people can dance with each other from the office or their partners at home or each person could dance with a professional dancer as they do on the television version of Strictly Come Dancing. For each person to dance with a professional dancer is the most expensive option. Within the format of coupling people from colleges at work or with partners from home a few options are available. They can each do a choreographed dance or they can all learn together and improvise on the dance floor using the steps that they have already learnt.

Another option is to get the competing couples to come a few hours before the function to the venue to learn some moves and then dance in front of the other guests doing the moves that they have just learnt. This is the cheapest option of all three.

1 Hour Teambuilding ice-breaker
Delegates are taught different dance moves. Some are done alone, some in pairs, some in small groups and some with the whole group moving together to make patterns. Simply by participating many skills are gained from working alone to practise the new moves to one on one communication and co-operation to the challenges of working in a large group where everyone in the group plays an equally important role. This creative environment allows most people to escape their comfort zones and let their hair down while encouraging them to be tolerant and patient of the rest of the group.

Evening Corporate Function
For Company Christmas Party’s, Awards Evenings, Celebrations etc. For these evening functions we bring some of Elise’s Ballroom Dancing students to demonstrate a dance and then she teaches the guests some moves in the dance that they have just seen. This can be done for Waltz, Hussle or the ever popular Line Dance Tango or all three dances. We can demonstrate and teach some American Line Dancing. The choice is yours and each function is different.

Strictly Come Dancing Evening
Keeping in line with the TV show we have a few rounds of dancing, eliminating couples as we go. One of the reasons everyone loves the show so much is because they get to know the contestants … well in this version of the show you will know all the contestants as they will be your collegues.

The way this works is the company sends us volanteers that come for dance lessons before the function. Those couples then compete at the function. This is lots of fun as guests like to see their work-mates doing something they have never seen them do before. They then help to teach the other guests some of the moves that they learnt. It is a great ice-breaker and makes for a great party.
