    More about Lipdub team building

    During a lipdub team building, you soon find that singing along without sound is surprisingly complicated. Especially if you don’t actually know the lyrics. Fortunately, that doesn’t matter, because the less talented, the more fun it becomes. It is not about doing well, but about daring to participate. In one long take you will record a video clip together. Colleagues who normally type emails will suddenly turn out to be hidden stage performers – or people who prefer to stay behind a plant. Expect exaggerated lip movements, wild dance moves and the serious face of someone who is fully into his role … while nobody makes a sound. From lead to background hero, everything counts. And yes, there is always that one moment when someone starts too early or “sings” the lines completely wrong. That’s part of it. Trying again together, too. The result? A lip-dub video that keeps popping up in group apps, during get-togethers or on team days. And every time the same reaction: “Oh yes … we did that too.” One thing is certain: after this team outing, the team spirit is palpable – and shame is definitely a shared responsibility.

    Lipdub making as a team building activity throughout the Netherlands

    Creating a lip-dub as a team-building activity is one of those outings where people say in advance, "Yeah right, fun." And where five minutes later they think, "Wait a minute ... do we really have to do this?" The answer is: yes. Absolutely. And then exactly the same thing happens everywhere in the Netherlands: colleagues who normally have neat meetings suddenly turn into stage performers. Or into people who position themselves very strategically behind a plant. The concept is delightfully simple and merciless at the same time. In one long take, you record a video clip together. No cuts, no pauses, no escape routes. The camera moves past everyone while enthusiastically singing along (without sound), dancing, waving and looking overly serious. Anything goes, nothing is subtle. And yes, the more uncomfortable it feels, the better the end result.

    From city to city, find your own atmosphere

    Throughout the Netherlands, a lipdub takes on its own atmosphere each time - but the effect is the same everywhere. In Amsterdam, a lip-dub immediately feels creative and free. Nobody is surprised by a colleague who suddenly does a solo. Here people experiment, improvise and, above all, laugh hard when someone starts too early. In Utrecht everything is compact and well-organized, which means that no one can hide. Everyone is in the picture. Including that colleague who said he would "look in". Rotterdam handles it tightly. Less talking, more doing. Here people practice seriously - until someone dances completely out of tune and everyone gets the giggles. In The Hague, things begin neatly and calmly, but as soon as the music starts, job titles disappear and only enthusiasm remains. Eindhoven is surprisingly creative. Here, clever routes are devised, funny transitions are made and it suddenly turns out that someone has a lot of hidden dance moves. In Breda, it's all about fun. Everyone joins in, no one takes it too seriously and the pace is just right to have maximum fun. Groningen brings energy. A lot of energy. The volume of movements goes up, as does the fanaticism. And in Maastricht, a lip-dub feels almost burgundy. A little quieter, a little more stylish - but still with enough moments to laugh hard at later.

    Approachable, hilarious and surprisingly connecting

    What makes a lip-dub such a strong team-building activity is that everyone is needed. Not just the people who like to be in the picture, but the very quiet forces in the background. Everyone has a place, a moment and a role. And if one person drops out, you see that immediately on the image. That makes working together suddenly very concrete. The first time feels uncomfortable. The second time there is laughter. And by the third take, everyone is fully into it. Shame disappears. Surrender wins. And that's exactly where the magic happens. Not because it's perfect - but because it's together. And then, afterwards, there is the end result: your very own lip-dub video. A lasting memory guaranteed to pop up in group apps, presentations and at get-togethers for years to come. Often followed by comments like, "Why were we so enthusiastic?" "Who approved this?" And, "Shall we watch it again?" Making a lipdub as a teambuilding activity throughout the Netherlands is accessible, hilarious and surprisingly connective. No sportsmanship required, no creative degree required - just the willingness not to take yourself too seriously for a while. And that often turns out to be exactly what a team needs.

    In a lip-dub team building, you make one music video together in one long take. Everyone plays along to the same music, while the camera moves past colleagues who suddenly turn out to be remarkably enthusiastic. The result? Creative chaos, exaggerated lip movements and, above all, lots of laughter - sometimes even at yourself.

    No. In fact, rather not. The less talented, the better the end result usually becomes. It's about participating and not taking yourself too seriously.

    No problem. You can also get a smaller role or participate in the background. There is always a spot that fits your comfort zone (or just outside it, if you dare).

    Lipdubs are suitable for both small and large groups. The larger the group, the busier and more fun the picture often becomes.

    As many times as necessary ... and usually at least once more than planned. It is precisely those failed takes that often provide the most laugh-out-loud moments.

    Yes, often you can. It is smart, though, to choose a song that everyone knows or at least can playback along enthusiastically.

    Your lip-dub video will be shared with the group. Expect it to come back regularly in group apps, presentations or during get-togethers.
