Dance Off

Get energised and battle it out

You’ve got a team with a competitive streak a mile wide.

You’re looking for a way to bond that your team will be talking about for months. You really want to see your manager attempt krumping. Then it’s time to take on a street dance battle in our Dance Off.

Dance Off is an energetic, enjoyable team building experience which boosts morale while breaking beats (yes, really). Whether it’s bankers battling to Beyoncé,
software developers doing Burlesque or architects in full street-dance gear doing a Bruno Mars shuffle, our dance tutors will have you competitively breaking out the power moves before you know it.

"Thanks for putting on such an awesome day! Getting fifty salespeople to deliver a reasonably well-coordinated dance routine was an amazing feat! I’ll certainly be reaching out to City Academy again for future events."

Why Dance?

Dance Off is a team building activity like no other. You will work with a professional dance teacher to learn an expertly choreographed street dance routine, which your team will then perform against the clock while using your decision-making and creative skills to add your own interpretation and creative flare.

Once you’ve got your routine down to a fine art, you will take part in a talent show-style competition with the aim to claim the winner’s crown. City Academy’s dance teachers are experts in their field and adept at working with students of all levels (including absolute beginners).

More than anything, Dance Off is focused on revitalising your team’s enthusiasm by building confidence and strengthening relationships, as well as allowing for a space to laugh together as a team.

FAQs

What should I bring to the course?

Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes they can move around freely in. We also recommend bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

Can this be run without a competitive element?

If you'd prefer to omit the competitive element, we can arrange a dance workshop instead. We offer over 30 dance disciplines and can curate workshops based on eras, bands or songs of your choice. Workshops can be fit into lunch breaks, an afternoon or arranged as a post-work team social according to your preferences and how much time you have available.

Can I book a free taster of this course?

We're happy to offer tasters of our courses to provide a flavour of what we do in advance of a booking being made. Please call or email us for further details on 0207 042 8833 or business@city-academy.com.

Our in-person courses are primarily organised in Central London. For teams, we're able to provide in-person training at your offices globally or we can book a suitable partner venue for you to deliver training in your locality.
