Giving new meaning to the term “Fun@Work”, a Dubai-based events organizing company is offering businesses in the UAE the chance to forget the global downturn for a while and allow their employees to remain positive by competing against each other through the region’s first-ever Corporate Dance Challenge

Gatecrasher Events are organizing the UAE’s first-ever Corporate Dance Challenge, under the auspices of the Dubai International Dance Competition, allowing companies and their employees the opportunity to escape workplace stress and rejuvenate their confidence levels by indulging in a bit of fun.

To be held in Dubai on May 15th, the “Corporate Challenge – Reboot Your Senses” initiative allows businesses in the region to participate in what promises to be one of the biggest and fiercest dance showdowns the region has ever seen.

Competitors can try their chances at any well-known dance style – from the energetic and exotic Salsa to the elegant European ballroom, from the expressive Tango or the gliding Foxtrot; the swinging Afro-Caribbean rhythm dancing to India’s Bhangra or Bollywood, the rock 'n' roll Jive or the easy Cha Cha Cha; the stylized Foxtrot or the exuberant Merengue or the more modern freestyle Krump.

“Dance is something that crosses all cultures, languages, and socio-economic and territorial boundaries,” explains Joseph Jose, Director of Events at Gatecrasher Events. “Besides, it has been found to be an effective stress-buster and an increasing number of companies across the globe are encouraging their employees to turn to dance to boost their confidence levels and give them a much-deserved break.
