Hen Party Dance Classes

Girls, it’s time to get your groove on! If you’re looking for an activity that’ll have everyone up, dancing, laughing and probably making a complete fool of themselves, a hen party dance class could be exactly what you’re after.

You don’t need to be a dancer, you don’t need to have rhythm and you definitely don’t need to be able to remember which foot goes where. This is a hen do, not an audition for Strictly Come Dancing! The whole point is to have fun, learn some fabulous moves and enjoy a proper giggle with the girls.

There are loads of dance themes to choose from, so you can pick something that’ll suit the bride and her girls. Fancy feeling like pop stars for the afternoon? Get yourselves booked onto a Spice Girls, Britney, Lady Gaga or Beyoncé dance class and learn a routine to one of their big hits. Want something a little cheekier? Go for burlesque or pole dancing and get ready to unleash your inner showgirl.

You could also go down the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s route, learn a routine inspired by your favourite pop star or band or choose a class based around a particular song. There’s something so satisfying about nailing a routine together, especially after the first 10 minutes when everyone’s going left while the instructor is very clearly going right!

It’s also a great excuse to get dressed up. Think cute dancewear, glittery accessories, heels, feather boas or whatever fits your chosen theme. You can even come in fancy dress to match your chosen theme. And yes, there’ll probably be plenty of photos and videos taken along the way.

Whether you’ve got a group of confident dancers or a few girls who’ll need dragging onto the dance floor, you’ll all be learning together, having a laugh and making memories. By the end, you might even have a routine good enough to perform later in the evening. Either way, you’ll have had a fabulous time with a hen do dance class.

Why Do a Themed Dance Class for a Hen Party?

Because sitting around drinking prosecco is lovely, but sometimes you need to get up and shake your bum, girls! A themed dance class for hen parties gives you all a proper activity to get stuck into. Everyone’s there for the same reason, you’ll have an instructor showing you what to do and you won’t have that awkward moment where everyone’s standing around wondering what happens next.

It’s also a fab way to get everyone mingling if the hen party is made up of different groups of friends. You might have the school friends, work girls, uni mates, family members and people you’ve never met before all thrown together for the weekend. Nothing breaks the ice quite like trying to copy the same dance routine while laughing at each other.

The theme is where you can really have some fun. A burlesque class is perfect if the bride loves a bit of glamour and sass, while a pop dance class can have everyone pretending they’re headlining a world tour. An 80s, 90s or 00s class can bring back all those nostalgic bangers you used to dance around your bedroom to, while a pole dance session adds a cheekier twist to the afternoon.

You can also make the class all about the bride. Choose her favourite song, pick a dance style she’ll love or arrange a surprise routine for her. If she’s always been a massive Britney fan, this is your chance to give her the full pop princess treatment. If she’s more of a Beyoncé girl, get those moves ready.

And don’t worry if you’ve got two left feet. You’re not expected to walk into the studio and perform like a professional dancer. You’re there to have a laugh. If you get the steps wrong, just carry on with confidence and pretend that was exactly what you were supposed to do.

What Happens at a Hen Party Dance Class?

Right girls, warm up those hips because it’s time to dance! Your class will usually start with a warm up to get everyone moving and loosened up. You’ll then meet your instructor, find out what you’ll be learning and get started on the first moves of your routine.

Don’t panic if you’re looking at the instructor thinking there’s absolutely no chance you’ll remember all those steps. You’ll learn everything gradually, with the routine broken down into manageable sections. You’ll practise each part before putting it all together, so there’s no expectation that you’ll know what you’re doing straight away.

Of course, there’ll be a few moments where someone goes completely blank, someone else starts doing yesterday’s move and another hen is dancing about three steps ahead. That’s half the fun.

Depending on your chosen theme, you could be strutting around to pop classics, learning a sexy burlesque routine, mastering some commercial choreography or trying out a cheeky chair dance. Some classes can even be tailored around a particular song, which is a lovely way to make the experience personal to the bride.

You might also get props or accessories to use during the class. Feather boas, chairs, hats and other themed extras can make the whole thing even more ridiculous in the best possible way.

Once you’ve learnt the routine, it’s time to put it all together. This is where everyone gets their moment to shine. Well, shine, wobble, forget the routine and carry on anyway. There’ll usually be time for a final performance, so get those phone cameras ready. You’ll probably want to film the finished routine, especially after all that practice. Whether it makes it onto the group chat or stays firmly between the hens is entirely up to you.

How to Choose the Right Hen Party Dance Class

So, you’ve decided a hen do dance class sounds like a fab idea, but now comes the tricky bit: which one do you book? With so many themes and styles to choose from, you’ll want to pick something that gets the whole group excited rather than leaving half the hens hiding behind the bride.

First things first, think about the bride. This is her hen party, after all! Is she confident, cheeky and always first on the dance floor? Is she more reserved or more of a gym bunny? You know her best, so choose something that’ll have her laughing rather than quietly questioning why her mates have done this to her.

Next, think about the group. If you’ve got 20 girls coming along, you’ll need to check the maximum group size before booking. You’ll also want to think about ages and abilities. A hen party can have everyone from the bride’s mum and aunties to her university mates, so choosing a beginner-friendly class means nobody gets left struggling at the back.

Then there’s the music. This is where you can have some fun. Is the bride a massive Britney fan? A Spice Girls obsessive? Does she know every Beyoncé routine going? Pick a class that fits her taste and you’ll have everyone singing along while they’re learning the moves.

Don’t forget about confidence levels either. If your group is full of girls who’ll happily strut around in heels, go for it. If half the group would rather dance in leggings and trainers, choose something relaxed where nobody feels pressured to perform.

Finally, think about your venue and the rest of your plans. You might find a studio in the city centre, or you could book a mobile class and have the instructor come to your accommodation. The latter can be a great option if you’ve hired a house and want to keep the party going without dragging everyone across town.

And remember, there’s no right or wrong choice. The best hen party dance class is simply one that suits your bride, gets everyone involved and gives you all an excuse to let loose for an hour or two. Get the music on, grab the girls and prepare to bust out some seriously questionable moves!

Hen Party Dance Classes Near Me

Looking for a hen party dance class near you? There are loads of options around the UK, Ireland and Europe so you can usually find something close to where you’re staying.

When you’re planning your hen weekend, it’s worth thinking about where the class fits into your day. You don’t want to spend ages travelling across a city when you could be getting ready for your next cocktail, lunch or night out. A central venue can make life much easier, particularly when you’ve got a big group to organise.

Some dance classes take place in dedicated studios, while others can come to you. If you’ve hired a house, apartment, hotel room or private venue with enough space, a mobile dance class can be a great option. You can have the instructor turn up at your accommodation, get the music on and start dancing without everyone having to traipse across town.

Think about the bride when you’re choosing your theme too. Is she confident and up for anything? Would she absolutely love a cheeky burlesque session? Is she a huge pop fan? Or would she rather learn a fun routine without having to wear heels and wave a feather boa around?

It’s also worth checking what’s included before you book. Look at the length of the session, the dance style, what you need to wear, whether the class is suitable for beginners and whether there are any group size requirements.

Most importantly, don’t overthink it. You’re not booking a serious dance lesson. You’re booking a hen party dance experience where you can get together, have a giggle and create some memories that’ll probably come up every time someone hears that song in future.

Themed Dance Classes FAQs

Do we need to be good at dancing?

Absolutely not! In fact, being rubbish can make it even more fun. Most hen party dance classes are designed for beginners, so you’ll be taught the routine step by step. Just throw yourself into it and worry about your questionable footwork later.

What themed dance classes can we book?

That depends on the activity provider, but there are usually loads of options. You could choose burlesque, pole dancing, Lip Sync Battle, 80s, 90s, 00s dance, line dancing, musicals, cheerleading, Kisstory, charleston, Bollywood, belly dancing, Barbie, Spice Girls, Beyonce, Britney, Lady Gaga and more or a class inspired by a particular artist or song.

Can we choose our own song?

Some activity providers let you request a particular song, while others will have a selection for you to choose from. If there’s a song that means something to the bride, it’s worth asking when you book.

What should we wear?

Wear something you can actually move in. Leggings, shorts, joggers, a vest top or a comfy T shirt will all work. If you’re doing heels, burlesque or another themed class, check whether the instructor has any specific requirements before the day. 

Can we wear fancy dress to a hen party dance class? 

Absolutely! In fact, it’s recommended. Get dressed up with the girls to match your theme, whether that’s your favourite singer, band, movie or something else entirely. Just make sure it’s something you can move in. 

Can we have a dance class at our accommodation?

Some providers offer mobile classes where the instructor comes to your accommodation or private venue. It’s a great option if you’ve got enough space and don’t fancy getting everyone across town.

Is a dance class suitable if some hens are shy?

Yes! You might have a few girls who are ready to grab the spotlight and others who’d rather hide behind the bride. A good instructor will make everyone feel comfortable and encourage the whole group to join in without putting anyone under too much pressure.

Can we book a class just for our hen party?

Many providers offer private sessions, meaning you won’t have to dance alongside a group of strangers. You can have the studio to yourselves and really let loose.

Can the bride have a starring role?

She absolutely can! Depending on the class, the instructor may be able to give the bride a special part in the routine or make her the star of the session. Let the instructor know it’s a hen party when you book so they can make it extra special for her.

How long does a hen party dance class last?

Classes vary, but many last around an hour to 90 minutes. That gives you enough time to learn the routine without taking up your entire afternoon. It also leaves plenty of time for whatever you’ve got planned next.

Can we take photos and videos?

Usually, yes, although it’s best to check with your instructor first. You’ll definitely want a video of the final routine after all that practice. Just be warned that the group chat may never let you forget some of the dance moves you came up with.

Ready to Book a Themed Dance Class for Your Hen Party?

A dance class is the perfect hen party activity if you’re looking to bring some energy and creativity into the whole experience. You’ll have plenty of laughs, learn a choreographed routine and create unforgettable memories.

Our favourite reason for choosing a dance class is because it lets you weave in the bride’s personality or your hen do theme into the activity. Does the bride love her Beyoncé and want to celebrate putting a ring on it? Or if you’re planning a fiesta theme, then why not take on some Samba or Rhumba? Or go all out and choose dance styles like Bollywood, Irish dancing, Hip Hop or so many more.

Depending on your group size and the destination you choose, the dance class may go for 60 to 90 minutes. In that time, you will learn and perform a full routine, which you can break out again on your hen party night out, if you are feeling brave enough, on the wedding day itself!!

This activity can take place in a venue you organise if you have somewhere in mind. You can request the supplier to try and source a venue but please just note that this is subject to availability and may include a room hire fee.
