Team building is an essential practice for strengthening cohesion, improving communication, and boosting motivation within a team. Among the many possible activities, dance classes stand out for their ability to break the ice and foster collaboration in a fun and dynamic way. Here’s how to best prepare your team for a team building dance class with Baila Baila.
Understanding the Objectives of Team Building
Defining Your Objectives
Before you begin, it’s essential to clearly define the objectives of your team building session. Are you looking to strengthen communication, improve team cohesion, or simply provide a recreational and revitalizing break?
Identifying your objectives will help you guide your preparation and choose the type of dance that best suits your team.

Choosing the Right Dance Style
Baila Baila offers a variety of dance styles suitable for team building sessions. Here are some examples:
- Flamenco: A typically Spanish dance, passionate and expressive, ideal for cultural immersion.
- Salsa: A dynamic and joyful Latin dance, perfect for breaking the ice and energizing your group.
- Samba: A rhythmic and festive Brazilian dance that will bring a carnival atmosphere to your session.
- Country: A friendly and fun American dance that promotes cohesion through group choreography.
Choose a style that matches your team’s energy and preferences. A dynamic dance like salsa can be perfect for energetic teams, while a flamenco class can offer a unique cultural immersion.
Communicate with your team
Inform and inspire
To ensure a successful team building event in Barcelona, inform your team in advance of the team building dance session. Explain the objectives and benefits of this activity to generate enthusiasm. Use your usual internal communication channels to disseminate information and answer any questions.
Set Clear Expectations
Make sure each team member knows what to expect. Specify the location, time, duration of the class, and the type of dance (unless you want to keep it a surprise!). Also, indicate that the class is suitable for all levels, from beginners to more experienced dancers, so everyone feels comfortable and ready to participate.
Practical Preparation
Choose Appropriate Attire
Recommend your team wear comfortable clothing that allows plenty of freedom of movement. Dance-appropriate shoes, such as lightweight sneakers, are also important to avoid discomfort or injury.
Arrange Transportation and Logistics
Our dance space is located in the heart of Barcelona, which should make getting around easier. Make sure to plan transportation for the entire team and coordinate times and meeting points to ensure a punctual and stress-free arrival.
During the Dance Class
Encourage Active Participation
Encourage each team member to actively participate in the dance class. Remind them that the main goal is to have fun and strengthen bonds between colleagues. Active participation and commitment from everyone will help create a positive and dynamic atmosphere.
Promote Interaction and Collaboration
Dance is an excellent activity for strengthening cooperation and interaction among team members. Encourage participants to dance together and work as a team to learn the movements and choreography. This interaction fosters communication and mutual understanding.
After the Dance Class
Organize a Feedback Session
At the end of the class, organize a feedback session to discuss the experience. Encourage team members to share their impressions, what they enjoyed, and what they learned. This helps reinforce the benefits of the activity and consolidate what has been learned.
Maintain the Momentum
To extend the positive effects of the team building session, consider incorporating regular dance activities into your workplace wellness program. Occasional dance sessions can maintain team cohesion and motivation throughout the year.
