City AM - Get In Line article
You could’ve fooled me, but line dancing is now being touted as the latest Square Mile fad. Dancing company Corporate Dance, which organises “team-building” dance events for companies, says line dancing’s one of its most popular choices — along with salsa and ballroom, of course.
The firm, whose clients include two of the UK’s biggest banks, is launching a new corporate event in the style of the Beeb’s Strictly Come Dancing show, designed to get guests ballroom dancing in couples after a short masterclass.
There’s only one glitch — the City’s heavily male-dominated workforce. “The problem comes when there are more men than women amongst the dancers,” the group’s joint partner Adam Gardner points out. “Ladies don’t mind dancing with ladies, but as you can imagine, the men don’t enjoy cosying up to each other.” Better stick to line dancing then, cowboys. |
