Team Building Sydney

 – A Case Study

Team building Sydney at Prince Alfred Park with African Beat

We were excited when the Canva team got in touch about a team building in Sydney they wanted us to be part of. But this wasn’t your typical team building. It wasn’t to address conflict or encourage team cohesion like we are often tasked with. This was a party. A celebration of a job well done.

Team Building in Sydney with Canva

When Chris Low got in touch, he told us of the incredible milestones the innovative business had reached…

10 million international users
PLUS…
Over 100 languages (including Zulu)

Canva recognised that each of their staff got them to these milestones and wanted to show their appreciation. Interactive African Drumming fit the bill and we were so pleased to be part of their celebration.

Having Fun Is A Recipe For Joy – Find Out Why

Having fun

One of our favourite things to do at African Beat is run workshops and events with kids and watching them having fun. There is something about the unbridled joy of beating in time and moving with the beat that makes everyone smile. It is so much FUN!

As adults, we sometimes get caught up in the seriousness of life and concern about being watched or judged.

Here is what we have learned from our years working with young people teaching them how to drum:

Which African Entertainment Company?

Stop! Before Booking ANY Entertainment…

With so much choice online these days, how do you know which African Entertainment company to book?
Let me ask you a simple question… How do you know you are getting 100% Authentic African drummers and dancers at the best price? Can all these companies who claim to offer African entertainment be relied on? In our experience, no they can’t! We’ve heard some horror stories over the years and we don’t want to be tarnished with the same brush!

So, before booking, please consider the questions below.

A Hens Party Activity The Hen Would Never Expect

Hens Party Activity

Sure, the old faithful Cocktail Mixing and Dance Classes are fun as a Hens Party Activity, but we’ve all been there and done that. There are only so many willy straws and topless waiters a woman can take!

Above all, you want to treat your bestie to something she would never expect, something completely unique to make her last hurrah truly memorable! It is her Hens Party after all.

Interactive African Drumming is an invigorating hens party activity. It also provides an opportunity to bond with the girls while doing something none of you has ever tried before.

Drum Roll, Please!
