Team building workshop

Do you want to find an activity that your whole team can participate in?

That requires actual teamwork?

But that doesn’t scream artificially awkward ‘team building’ games (and all the anxiety that brings to your team), something that is focussed on fun and encourages (but doesn’t force) participation, so that the teamwork feels like it just naturally happens?

A team-building ceilidh workshop may well be your thing.

What previous team-building workshop participants have said:

“5 stars – already recommended this to colleagues“

“Such a fun way to bring the team together and work off a bit of steam”

“It was enjoyable, no one moaned and felt positive”

“Wasn’t looking forward to this at all but it turned out to be a blast and thoroughly enjoyable”

“Great event for colleagues such as team building and where there are tensions within a team”

“It was fun, all could join in, led well and at a pace I could manage with welcome breaks”

“I’ve always been uncomfortable with dancing but Kate made me feel at ease”

“It was a thoroughly lovely afternoon, lots of laughter and learning a new skill with the team. Kate was a brilliant and patient teacher, it was really nice to do something active and fun.”

“I think the pricing was extremely good and well worth the money”

What is included:

• Team building workshop for a minimum of 8 participants and a maximum of 32.
• 1.5 hours of dancing in 2 x 45 minute breaks with a 20-30 minute break in the middle (duration of dancing and breaks is flexible).
• Dances are selected to ensure that all participants can join in and are chosen to suit the range of experience and abilities in the group. There will be a good mix of simple dances to build confidence and more challenging (but definitely do-able) dances that require everyone to work together to solve challenges and keep everyone dancing together in time.
• Recorded music for dancing allowing us to use a variety of different styles of ceilidh music.
• Sound equipment
• Public liability insurance.
• Music licence to play recorded music.
• A risk assessment can be provided should you wish.

Optional extras:

• If you would like live music we can arrange this for an additional fee, depending on musician availability
• In addition to the workshop fee we can arrange the hire of one our regular village hall venues with kitchen access, tables and chairs and include this cost and a room set-up fee in our invoice, or you can provide and prepare your own space for dancing (please check with us about the size of the space).
• Refreshments can be provided for the break, should you wish.

Booking process:

• Please get in touch and we can discuss your ideas and requirements
• After initial discussion about requirements and an agreed quote you will be asked to:
  • complete a simple booking form to keep all the important information in one place for you and me
  • pay a 10% deposit to secure the booking. The balance will be due within 7 days after the workshop.
  • collect some emergency contact and health information from participants, to be provided to me at least 48 hours prior to the workshop – this allows me to adapt dances to anyone’s health or mobility needs. This information will be kept confidential and will only be disclosed in case of an emergency.
