About This ABBA Hen Party Dance Class in Canterbury

Pull the flares out of the loft — your ABBA hen party dance class in Canterbury is a full 1970s disco dropped into a medieval city. To the strut of Dancing Queen, Voulez-Vous and Gimme Gimme Gimme, a choreographer assembles a glittering group number where the loudest hen and the shyest one land the same key change together. Think platform-heel swagger under the shadow of Bell Harry Tower rather than a school-hall shuffle, and a chorus every generation in the room already knows by heart.

The teaching is engineered for people who last danced at a wedding in 2009. Each hook, spin and pointed-arm flourish is set out in small pieces, stacked slowly, then run at speed until the whole party moves as one sequinned unit — the bride handed the centre spot and the biggest vocal moment. Nobody is benched and nobody is expected to arrive with rhythm; the Swedish songbook does most of the heavy lifting and the choreographer carries the rest.

We bring the disco to your cottage, hotel or hired hall anywhere across Canterbury and East Kent, or set up in a sourced central studio a short walk from St Dunstan's and the Westgate. One flat figure covers the group whether five or thirty turn up in flares, the bride's £10 bottle of bubbly is the only add-on, and the London contingent can be back at Canterbury West for the high-speed train the moment the last chorus fades. Whether you searched an ABBA dance hen party or an ABBA hen do, the mirrorball is already spinning.

What Our Hens Say

ABBA hen parties we have taught across Canterbury.

ABBA

"Fourteen of us in charity-shop flares in a barn outside Canterbury, and by the last run we genuinely looked like a tribute act. The choreographer put my nan front and centre for Dancing Queen and she has not stopped talking about it since."

— Marnie Ashenden ★★★★★

"The arm-points were the great equaliser — the two hens who 'don't dance' were suddenly the loudest on the floor. Booked the ninety minutes and every minute earned its place."

— Pippa Culverden ★★★★★

"We wanted daft joy rather than a rehearsal, and that is exactly what turned up. Sequins everywhere, the bride milking her spotlight, and a video the group chat refuses to retire."

— Estelle Wingham ★★★★★

"Straight off the high-speed train from St Pancras into a full ABBA routine. Best decision of the weekend, and we still had legs for the lanes after."

— Hettie Brockman ★★★★★

ABBA Hen Party FAQ

Everything you need to know about our ABBA hen party dance class in Canterbury.

How much is an ABBA hen party dance class in Canterbury? +

£140 flat for an hour or £165 for ninety minutes, covering five to thirty hens on one figure. The £10 bride's bubbly and studio hire when we source the room are the only possible extras.

Which ABBA songs do we dance to? +

Dancing Queen anchors the set, with Mamma Mia, Voulez-Vous and Gimme Gimme Gimme in the mix. Your group's favourites are confirmed with the choreographer at booking — dancing only, the singing stays gloriously optional.

Do we need any dance experience? +

None whatsoever. The routine is built from simple, repeatable shapes taught at disco pace; if you can point at the ceiling on cue you already own the signature move.

Where does the class happen? +

Your accommodation anywhere across Canterbury and East Kent — a cottage near the lanes works fine — or a sourced central studio close to St Dunstan's. We confirm the space when you book.

Should we dress up? +

Flares, sequins and platforms are wildly encouraged and the choreographer will fold whatever you arrive in into the routine, but jeans and trainers dance the same steps. We do not supply costumes.

What can we do afterwards? +

Plenty — the High Street, the King's Mile and St Dunstan's keep the night going with bars and dinner, and Canterbury West runs the high-speed line back to London St Pancras for anyone heading home.
