Hen Party Dance Class Bournemouth

There are 38+ themed routines to pick from, running from whole decades like the 80s and 2000s through pop heavyweights such as Beyoncé, ABBA and Taylor Swift, and on into West End musicals, Burlesque, Bollywood and plenty besides. Want something that isn't on the list? Tell us and a choreographer will usually build a routine around it.

You are paying for a professional choreographer, the full themed routine and a recorded run-through to keep — that's £140 plus venue for sixty minutes, or £165 plus venue for ninety. It's one flat charge across the whole booking, not a per-head ticket, so the number stays put whether eight of you turn up or twenty-eight. A bottle of fizz on arrival is an optional £10.

We run them from a studio we hire in Bournemouth town centre, minutes from the pier, the beach and the Old Christchurch Road bars — the exact address comes through with your booking confirmation. Prefer to stay put? A choreographer will come to your Airbnb, hotel or hired space anywhere across Bournemouth and out to Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne and Ringwood.

Then you're the ideal group. The routine is made up on the day and handed over in tiny, repeatable pieces, so absolute beginners stay level with whoever once did years of ballet. Nobody's marking you — the point is the laughing, not the polish.

Three to five months out is the sweet spot, especially for warm summer Saturdays when the whole town fills with hen groups and weekenders. Shorter notice can still come off if a studio and choreographer happen to be free, so it's always worth an ask even for a close date.

Loads of groups do, and it's worth saying so from the start. Flag it with your choreographer and they'll keep things simple enough to remember weeks on yet sharp enough to land on the reception floor — a little surprise for the newlyweds that always gets the phones up.
