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."
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.
We work with a range of experts to suit your objectives.
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.
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.
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.
To discuss best options for you or your team, we welcome calls on 0207 042 8833 or via email at business@city-academy.com. You can contact us looking for options as an individual or on behalf of an employee, a team, department or company.
We work with a variety of partner venues around London many of which are accessible. If you, a colleague or employee has specific requirements, please make us aware upon booking to ensure we can find a venue suitable for you.
Our public courses are for over 18s. For 1-2-1 tuition or private classes, participants can be any age. Content can be shaped to be age and experience appropriate.
Participants don't need any experience with dance to take part in this workshop. Our tutors make everything level appropriate and can adapt content to ensure it works for complete beginners. The focus is on fun and ensuring everyone - regardless of ability - can enjoy themselves and bond with colleagues.
