We have performed and taught Jive Lindy Hop and Swing Dance at company Christmas parties, summer balls and other corporate functions such as launches and fun-days.

Departments have performed routines for their colleagues. Apparently unrelated departments have found different ways to connect up within their company simply by dancing. The list is endless of useful and practical ways dance can emphasise the management skills required in the everyday environment of business as well as giving your company a huge amount of fun when it's taking a break and partying.
