Value driven teambuildings
We use techniques from dance and improtheater to sample team-based values such as:
- group feeling connection, mood management, sense of community, diversity and inclusion, participation, communication
- personal development improvisation, creativity, expression, experimentation, daring, reflection
- leadership showing initiative, clear communication, sensitivity, listening, leading and following, innovation, flexibility
- collaboration communication, sensitivity, positivity, exchange, relationship management
Green light?
We schedule a call in advance to hear about your team’s values. That way we can design an activity that fits like a glove.

Warm-ups & energizers for your event
Get your audience in the mood or give them a boost in between with an Upside Down warm-up or energizer. Kicking off your event with a short (dance) activity sets the tone for a sparkling event. We offer support in choosing music and dance style.
An energizer loosens people up for a moment before they move with the rest of your program. A fast but fiery intervention to light up the room. Tailor-made mood management!

Dance workshops in theme
We are eager to explore the dance floor with your team. We translate words and values in body language. Some of our concepts that appeal to a wide audience:
Let’s take a stroll through the history of dancing! Put on your dancing shoes and pick up a charleston, boogie or disco step along the way.
In this workshop, we connect participants by introducing them to the swing dance Lindy Hop.
Inspired by moves from the authentic jazz dance era, we familiarize ourselves with solo dancing in club style.
We creative an environment in which individual expression and community feeling co-exist brilliantly. Let's improvise on groove tunes.
Blues dance is as rich and diverse as the music we dance it on. A varied workshop for every narrator of body language!
Get funky, yeah! A workshop that purposefully derails into a blissful party.

Dance style menu
You prefer a dance workshop that is about the dance and the dance only? Okay, we got you! Pick one dance style or mix & match your favorites. Each style is available in the form of a 20-minute taster, up to a 2-hour in-depth workshop, and everything in between.
Dancing can be Solo (S) or Partnered (P). Every dance form is social: we interact, whether you physically touch each other or not. Group size or gender balance makes little difference. In couple dancing, we prefer to switch partners as well as roles, so you can have fun dancing with everyone.

They went Upside Down:
On behalf of the board and all the staff of Danspunt, congratulations for an enthusiastic, inspiring, atmospheric, memorable and unforgettable evening, which you provided together with the dancers and your colleagues.
There were sparks flying around and it will undoubtedly be talked about for a long time to come!
We loved it, thank you so much!
Ton, Danspunt
We ourselves love to dance, and find it most enjoyable when there are enough people on the dance floor. This creates more ambiance, daring and connection. Upside Down's dance workshop completely met these expectations. Dancer Shana's fun '20s outfit and huge dose of enthusiasm ensured that a lot of fun was had immediately. The open atmosphere allowed everyone to join in for however long they felt like it. I really recommend bringing people who don't know each other well into contact with each other like this. Besides, it was also nice to watch for non-dancers!
