Belly dancers for corporate events

Many companies understand the importance of holding an employee appreciation day from time to time. An employee appreciation day allows a departure from the daily routine and thus prevents burnout among employees. Beyond the pleasure that the various activities bring to the employees, an employee appreciation day is an excellent opportunity to unite the employees and create a team that enjoys meeting every day and working collaboratively. Many times, and especially when it comes to large companies, an employee appreciation day will also be an opportunity for employees to get to know the employees in other departments, something that is not necessarily possible on full working days.

Employee appreciation day usually consists of various activities. Sometimes the company will decide on activities in which all employees will participate, but usually the employees will have at least part of the time the opportunity to choose between several possible options.

Belly dance workshop in an employee appreciation day

One of the popular activities in employee appreciation days is a belly dancing workshop. Dancing to an upbeat music in a fun atmosphere, is a sure recipe for a great experience that will help “break the ice” between employees. It is important to know that a belly dance workshop can be suitable even when it is a mixed group of women and men and even children. Some might be surprised to learn that men can belly dance too, and there is even a unique male dance style. A belly dancer with extensive experience in teaching groups will know how to make everyone feel comfortable and participate. For example, the women in the group will dance with scarves that characterize the female dance style, while the men will dance with sticks that characterize the male style, and might even hold an entertaining dance competition between the two groups.

Belly dance workshops can also be suitable for events in which the families of the employees are invited, including children. In this case, it is recommended to invite a belly dancer with experience in teaching dance to children, since the teaching method is  very different between children and adults. This does not mean that it is not possible to conduct a workshop in which women, men and children will participate together, but that the activity will be much more successful if it also includes elements that will speak to children as well.

It is advisable to inform the belly dancer in advance about the character of the event and other activities planned. A professional belly dancer will know how to “tailor” the belly dance workshop according to that as well as the number of participants, the existing space, etc. In most cases, a belly dancer will give an exciting performance in addition to a workshop. The belly dance performance can be before or after the workshop.

A belly dance workshop can be a fun experience that the company’s employees will talk about long after the event. As mentioned, it is recommended to make sure that you invite a professional and experienced belly dancer who will know how to conduct a workshop in which all employees will feel comfortable participating and will enjoy the shared experience.
