Electric Ireland, the Official Energy Partner to Electric Picnic,has revealed Dancergy, a dance-themed activity at this year's Electric Picnic, led by well-known 1990's fitness instructor, Mr Motivator.

With the installation of the sustainable energy dance floor at the Electric Ireland zone of the Picnic, Mr Motivator will lead daily dance sessions where festival goers will have the opportunity to take to the floor with the fitness legend, bust some dance moves in his trademark style and even contribute towards the energy requirements of the Electric Picnic.

Speaking at the launch, Mr Motivator said: "I'm so excited to be a part of Electric Ireland’s Dancergy at Electric Picnic. Dance is my absolute passion and how great to actually generate energy in the process. Festival goers be warned…..I don’t take no for an answer when it comes to busting some moves on the dance floor so I’ll be seeing you there!"

In addition, Electric Ireland is providing 6km of energy efficient festoon lighting around the camp sites and walk ways to the main arena, which has reduced the festival’s lighting emissions by 80%. Electric Ireland will also provide eCars to transport artists around the festival site this year, keeping sustainability at the heart of the Electric Picnic.
