About This Irish Dancing Hen Party Dance Class in Bournemouth
Nothing gets a hen group breathless and belly-laughing quite like a set of Irish dancing. An Irish dancing dance hen party Bournemouth teaches your group the bouncy jig steps, the arms-down posture and a linked-line reel that builds to a proper stamping finale, all led by a choreographer who makes the footwork click for total beginners. We bring the music and the counts to your door anywhere in town, so there is no hall to hire and no getting everyone across Bournemouth.
We keep it mobile and easygoing on purpose. Whether you are gathered in a hotel near the Lansdowne, an apartment in Westbourne, or a house out towards Boscombe, the class comes to you and works with the floor you have. There is a lovely bit of contrast in learning a hammering ceili reel in a genteel seaside town of gardens and chines — your Irish dancing dance hen do Bournemouth borrows that holiday warmth and turns it into a proper knees-up.
Over the hour we drill the basic jig, add a light-and-quick reel and finish with a group line you can thunder through together. The price is flat and upfront: £140 for the hour or £165 for ninety minutes as the instructor fee, a hire room only where your space is tight, and an optional £10 bottle of fizz for the bride. Trainers or hard-soled shoes both work — we bring the rhythm, the steps and the stamina.

What Our Hens Say
Irish Dancing hen parties we have taught across Bournemouth.
"Booked it as a surprise and it was the highlight of the day. Fast, funny and brilliantly taught — we went from clueless to thundering through a reel in an hour. The bride, who is half-Irish, was thrilled."
— Orla Prideaux ★★★★★"So much more of a laugh than I expected. Our teacher had ten of us bouncing around a Westbourne apartment and genuinely out of breath from grinning. Best value activity of the whole weekend."
— Saoirse M., Moordown ★★★★★"We wanted something with a bit of go to it and this was perfect. Steps broken down so clearly that even I kept up, and the linked-line finish had us all roaring. Loved that it came to the house."
— Georgie Vosper ★★★★★"Twelve of us, hard shoes stamping, and a reel we somehow pulled off by the end. Came to our door, no faff, brilliant energy. Exactly the kind of hen activity I would recommend to anyone."
— Niamh D., Charminster ★★★★★Irish Dancing Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Irish Dancing hen party dance class in Bournemouth.
Is it hard if we have never done it? +
Not the way we teach it. Irish dancing looks fast but it is built from a few repeated bounces, so we drill those slowly first and only speed up once the group has them. Everyone is jigging within the first fifteen minutes.
Do we need special shoes? +
No. Trainers are perfectly fine and give a nice bounce, though hard-soled shoes make a satisfying stamp if you have them. Whatever is comfortable and lets you spring on the balls of your feet will do the job.
Where does the class run? +
At your accommodation, wherever that is in Bournemouth — a hotel by the Lansdowne, an apartment in Westbourne, a house near Boscombe. We are fully mobile, so you just need a clear stretch of floor for the line to move along.
How much does it cost? +
A flat £140 for an hour or £165 for ninety minutes, covering the choreographer and the whole session. The only extras are a hire room if your space is small and an optional £10 bottle of bubbly for the bride.
How many people can join? +
From five up to thirty on the same rate. Irish dancing is at its best with a decent line, so bigger groups actually make the reel more fun — the linked finale really thunders when a dozen of you hit it together.
Is it quite tiring? +
It has a bit of a cardio kick, which most groups love, but we pace it with breaks and a couple of slower drills so nobody is wiped out. You can dance it as gently or as full-throttle as your group fancies.
