Dance games for a fun group of adults. Happy people train

Incendiary dance competitions at corporate events are a must. Just dancing gets boring, but when there is excitement and the opportunity to win a prize, dancing becomes much more fun. Therefore, we bring to your attention a selection of dance

Competition "Exact Copies"

Contestants must line up at arm's length from each other. If there is not enough space, we stand in two or three rows. The host of the party selects a "main dancer" who stands in front of the others and begins to dance. Participants must copy all his movements exactly.

It will be more interesting if " main dancer"changes with each new melody - this is how all guests will be able to show themselves!

Let's play musical chair!

A completely child's game, but even more fun for adults! We arrange chairs in a circle - their number should be one less than the number of participants. Everyone dances, and when the music stops, they immediately sit down on chairs. Anyone who does not have time to sit on a chair either drops out of the game or takes off some of his clothes and jewelry (shoes, neck scarf, bracelet). If the player refuses to continue, another chair is removed.

The only condition for such entertainment is that all participants must have a sense of humor! Then the game will be very fun - after all, you can take off only one shoe or sacrifice a shirt, remaining in a vest...

Dancing with balloons

Let's educate dancing couples and inflate the balloons - one per couple. Partners do not necessarily have to be of different sexes; close contact between them is not envisaged.
Each couple receives balloon and places it between their bodies. Turn on the music and start dancing. The essence of the competition is to hold a balloon while dancing. A couple will be eliminated from the competition if:-

the dancers could not hold the ball and it fell;
- the dancers tried too hard and the balloon burst;
- the dancers tried to hold the ball with their hands.

Naturally, the winner is the last couple left.

Competition "Cinderella"

Guests are divided into two teams and divided into pairs “man + woman”. One participant in the competition portrays “Cinderella” - instead of a partner, he is given a mop, with which he must dance. As soon as the host turns off the music, the couples break up and quickly form again with other partners. “Cinderella” at the same time throws away the mop and grabs the first one who comes to hand to dance, but always a man - a woman and a woman - a man.
The one left without a partner becomes “Cinderella” and dances with the mop until the next tune!

Game of "Round Dance of Nations"

Guests need to be prepared for this entertainment: talk about the traditions and welcoming rituals of the selected countries (or better yet, show them). The essence of the game: demonstrate these movements to each other, and perhaps choose some kind of ritual for a corporate corporate greeting.

Participants stand in two circles: inner circle They move, dancing, clockwise, in the external - counterclockwise. When the melody ends, the host names a country out loud, suggests movements, and the dancers standing opposite each other perform the appropriate greeting: -

French people hug;
-Chinese – fold their hands in front of their chest in a prayer gesture;
-Norwegians – exchange a strong handshake;
-Yakuts – rub noses;
-Russians – kiss three times;
-Japanese – bow low;
- New Guineans - playfully move their eyebrows;
-Africans - clap their hands on their thighs and grimace joyfully.

You can come up with other funny gestures, for example, introduce a Martian ritual into the game - turn your back to each other and press your hands between your legs. In general, there are no winners in this game, but everyone has fun!

After everyone has danced enough, you can invite the guests to organize table competitions for the corporate party.

Don't forget that the winners of any dance competition At a corporate party, you should receive prizes - albeit inexpensive, but always memorable or funny. Have a great corporate party!

A chair is placed in the middle of the room and a guy sits on it. Two girls stand behind him, and each puts her hand on his shoulder. The guy, without looking, takes one of the girls by the hand and they go dancing. The remaining girl sits on a chair and the guys walk around, stand behind the girl, and she takes the hand of one of the guys and they also go to dance. Everything continues until all the guests are on the dance floor.

Sirtaki in Russian

To the music greek dance Sirtaki (at first she is not very fast) at the command of the leader, the male line takes three steps forward and bows, then takes three steps back. And then the line of women also takes three steps forward, makes the same bow and returns to their place three steps back.

Thus, two ranks, having completed the simplest dance movement, return to their places.

bow
turn 180 degrees
