What are we about to- take a look at some of the highlights of our last event.

Drumroll, please! 🥁

It is time to celebrate the energy, the feathers, and the absolute rhythm brought to the floor. After reviewing all the incredible entries for the Chicken Rush Dance Challenge, we have our winner of the FREE TICKET.

🏆 And the Winner Is...

@refitwithrach

Their performance stood out for its impeccable timing, creative "cluck-step" choreography and golden egg moment at the end!

Massive thankyou for all the engagement and those of you that entered!

Here was your winning entry by Rach!

I didn’t choose the bird life; the bird life chose me. 🐥🏆

I’m officially the hype-man for the Great Chicken Dance-Off.

I’ve spent weeks perfecting my wing-flap and ensuring this suit is 100% aerodynamic for maximum funkiness.

If I’m willing to wear this in public, you have no excuse.

We are giving away a FREE ticket to our next event Chicken Rush & Interactive Games on 21st March which is SOLD OUT, but we need to see your "bird-brain" energy first.

Think you’ve got the best Chicken Dance? 🐔💃

Check this post out for more info on how to win:

🐔 THE ULTIMATE CHICKEN-OFF: Win a Free Ticket! 🐔

Our next event Chicken Rush & Interactive Games on 21st March is coming and we're almost sold out!!
But we’ve got one FREE TICKET burning a hole in our pocket!

Do you want it? You’re gonna have to flap for it.

We’re looking for the most legendary, high-energy, "I-can’t-believe-they-just-did-that" Chicken Dance in history.

🍗 HOW TO WIN:

CHANNEL THE CHICKEN: Film your most creative, hilarious, or stylistically advanced Chicken Dance. Go 80s disco, go heavy metal, or go classic farmyard, just make it iconic.

SEND IT: DM us the video here or on facebook or reply back to this post so we can witness your greatness.

VICTORY: The Social Gathering Team will crown the "Chief of Cluck" based on vibes, rhythm and sheer entertainment value.

⏰ THE COUNTDOWN:

The coop closes at 12:00 PM on Feb 5th. Don't let the clock fly away.

🐣 "BUT I’M ALREADY ON THE LIST!"

If you’ve already snagged your ticket, enter anyway! If you win, you get a Golden Egg (aka a free ticket) to give to your favorite human. Be the MVP of your friend group!

Pro-Tip: Dust off the sweatbands, find a funky background, and remember: there is no such thing as "too much" wing-flapping.

Let’s see those moves! 🐔✨
