Line Dancing as Teambuilding Activity : How to do it? Simple Instructions


I just organised a workshop and we had line dancing as the teambuilding activity. This is good for as big a number as 100. I've posted a simple instructions as a teambuilding brief and a judging sheet for your use. I

This is a low-cost but very enjoyable team building activity. The group first learnt how to do simple 16-count line dancing steps in about 40 minutes. It's very fun to have 100 people dancing together and making all sorts of mistakes initially and eventually "mastering them" and dance in a more coordinated fashion. We then split the teams into several groups. Each group had about 15-20 people. Each team was given a song piece (about 3 minutes) with the accompanied props. Team was supposed to make use of the steps that they learnt to chronograph a dance and use the props that they were given (they were allowed to do barter trade). Other than team bonding, this teambuilding activity also encouraged alot of creativity - think out of the box on what to do with the props and how to do a variation of the basic steps learnt. We spent less than $800 in total for a group of 100. The $800 was spent entirely on the props.

Thought that some of you may want to try it out.
