CORPORATE COMPANIES DISPLAY FANCY FOOTWORK AND SPECTACULAR OUTFITS IN DANCING CHALLENGE

Sequins and fake tan at the ready because the fourth event of the activitymix Aberdeen Corporate Decathlon 2011, the Wood Group Ballroom Dancing Challenge, takes place on the 20th and 21st May at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen.

More than 280 couples will show off their dancing skills and compete in a Strictly Come Dancing-style event. The contestants, who are typically work colleagues, will be judged on timing, footwork, rise and fall, sway, alignment and posture in the Waltz, Tango, Saunter Together, Jive and Paso Doble.

The Will Dance School has been training the Corporate Decathlon teams for another year, having been impressed with the couples’ dedication to training and performing in previous years.

activitymix Tournament Manager, Tiffany Sheppard said, “Will Dance School have been working hard over the past few months, helping turn all our couples into dancing superstars. Spectators are in for a treat! Tickets for both evenings are limited, at £12 for adults and £6 for children. Please contact activitymix on 01224 238 430 to reserve a ticket. We will be supporting CLAN with a raffle on both nights.”

Wood Group is sponsoring the event, having competed in the Aberdeen Corporate Decathlon since 2004. Participation introduces employees to new activities, promotes team work and encourages employees to sustain their activity by supporting local activity providers such as the Will Dance School.

Peter Nicholson, Group Head of HR said, “Wood Group is pleased to be sponsoring the Ballroom Dancing event again this year. This activity, more than any other, appears to have moved people out of their comfort zones and into trying a new sport. The enthusiasm and commitment shown by the dancers is infectious and great fun to observe. We wish all dancers well in this great event.”
