Hen Party Dance Class Cheltenham & Dance Classes in Cheltenham
Pick one of 38 themes and we teach your whole hen party a routine worth filming — £190 for ninety minutes, venue on top, in a proper hall we hire, or £165 plus venue when the day only has room for an hour. Sweet and simple.
A dance hen party worth talking about
Cheltenham Dance Centre runs on three treats: hen do dance classes where the whole group shares one written price, £9-flat weekly classes that open once enough locals put their names down, and private first-dance lessons for couples in mild panic. Every theme on the shelf starts from zero experience.

One sweet figure, whole group
Your hen party dance class rings up like a single item at the till, not a dozen: £190 for ninety minutes with the venue’s room charge on top, or £165 for a shorter hour plus that same venue cost. The written quote carries one figure, and it behaves itself.
The ninetyour recommendation: extra time that turns a routine into a little show — venue charge on top
£190The hourif the day is tight: warm-up, the routine, phones-out finale — the venue’s charge sits on top, same as the ninety
£165The roomhired on the Pittville side of town; its charge joins your single written total
venueSix hens or twenty-six: the fee stays put. Plans wobble; the price doesn’t.
£9 a class. That’s the whole sum.
Our weekly classes work like a jar of pick & mix: choose a style, join its free list, and when enough Cheltenham names are in we hire a room and open the class — to a floor of people who chose it. Then it’s £9 every single time you come. No bundles, no memberships, no term fees, nothing quietly renewing.
Vanish for a month, come back owing another £9 and nothing else — as far as we can tell, nobody else in Gloucestershire sells dancing by the jar like this.
First dances, privately rescued
First-dance lessons priced from £75 for a private hour, studio included. We build around your song and around whichever of you is quietly terrified — from a steadied sway right up to choreography the guests will suspect was professional.
Peek at the wedding lessonsSweet nothings from the dance floor
We did the ninety-minute ABBA class before dinner in Montpellier and it was the loudest, happiest my sister has ever been. One quote, room included, no maths — the organiser in me could finally relax.
Twelve of us came in from Gloucester and Stroud for a Grease class. The teacher had the whole line hand-jiving inside twenty minutes and the finale video has been the group chat wallpaper ever since.
Built for a Cheltenham weekend
Cheltenham hosts a hen weekend beautifully — Regency streets, the Promenade, long lunches in Montpellier — and we’ve shaped our dance hen party to slot straight in: a proper hall hired on the Pittville side of town, a class timed between the afternoon and the evening table, and one written quote so the organiser’s spreadsheet stays tidy.
Groups travel in from Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Cirencester, Stroud and Bristol without drama. Of all the hen party activities Cheltenham lays on, this is the hen party idea that sends you to dinner already laughing — with the video to prove it.
Before you unwrap it
How much does the whole hen group pay? +
Everyone chips into one flat figure: £190 buys the ninety we recommend and £165 a shorter hour, with the venue’s room charge joining that same single total — all confirmed in writing before a penny moves. Never per head, whatever the final count.
Is the venue close to the Promenade? +
A short taxi or a fifteen-minute stroll — the hall we hire sits on the Pittville side of town, and the full address arrives with your written quote so the taxis know exactly where to go.
Can absolute beginners really pull this off? +
They’re who the class is designed for. The teacher shapes every routine around the actual group on the day, so two left feet, one sceptical auntie and a bride who peaked at a Year 9 disco all land safely.
Which length should our hen party pick? +
Ninety minutes is the length we steer groups towards — it lets the routine grow a proper finale and gives everyone breathing room. The hour is there if the itinerary is genuinely packed. If you’re torn, say so in the form and we’ll advise on the phone.
Can we book around race weekends and festivals? +
Yes — but Cheltenham fills fast when the races or festivals are on, and so do we. If your date brushes against a big weekend, get the enquiry in early and we’ll confirm availability the same day.
What does the written quote actually include? +
Everything: the teaching fee and the venue’s room hire added into one total. The number on the quote is the number you pay — no deposits demanded, no surprise extras bolted on later.
