Christmas 2025 is coming and office staff Christmas parties are being planned all over Devon, Somerset! They can be a challenge for some but, at Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band, we love playing for office and staff Christmas parties. Here’s why.
Quite simply, ceilidh barn dances are brilliant at bringing people together at Christmas. They are fun but in an organised way that leaves nobody feeling embarrassed. People, who normally hold quite a reserved formal relationship, can let their hair down and really enjoy themselves. It’s all down to the magic and organisation that is ceilidh barn dancing.
How is this achieved? Well ceilidh dancing at your office or staff Christmas party is quite simply about organised fun. It’s incredibly social. Imagine lines of staff advancing towards each other to say hello! People from all departments and offices holding hands and circling around in small groups or even in a much larger circle that includes everyone in the room. Couples forming an arch with their hands for others to duck down and pass through. It’s all arranged by the dance caller who is there to ensure everyone has a great time. All of this and more to the sounds to toe-tapping music that has been pleasing people of all ages for hundreds of years and getting them up and onto the dance floor.
It’s a bit like the Hokey Cokey but with a lot more variety.
A lot of the magic is because of the dance caller (such as the one seen at the centre of the dancers in the video above). At your Christmas office staff party ceilidh dance, there is no need to go up to your boss and ask them to dance with you because the dance caller does that for you. Of course, if you want to dance with your friends, that’s fine too. The dance caller will invite everyone on the floor and organise them into sets which could be lines, circles or even squares. Individuals can simply join a set with others. In corporate terms, you could almost imagine a Christmas ceilidh dance as being a series of constantly changing teams working together to have fun. Great for team building!
Without doubt, holding an office or staff Christmas ceilidh offers numerous benefits for businesses, including boosting morale, fostering team building, and promoting a sense of community. It’s a fun, inclusive activity that can help break down barriers, encourage social interaction, and create lasting memories for employees.
