About This ABBA Hen Party Dance Class in Durham
Durham does a glittered-up night differently — a compact, cobbled climb of a city rather than a big-club strip — and an ABBA hen do slots neatly into that. The choreographer builds a seventies floorshow from the titles everyone shouts back, Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Waterloo among them, feeding it in bites small enough that the friend who swore she couldn't dance is spinning before she's clocked what happened.
Book a central studio a couple of minutes off Market Place and the rest of the day writes itself — a wander down Saddler Street, cocktails before dinner, then the bars around the Market Place once the sequins have warmed up. Mind the gradients and cobbles in platform heels between venues; the Prince Bishops car park drops you close if anyone's driving into the city.
Staying put? We travel — the whole session comes to your Airbnb or hotel anywhere across Durham City and the county, speaker included. One flat price covers it: £140 for the hour, £165 for ninety minutes, whatever the size of the glitter squad, plus the option of a £10 bottle of fizz for the bride to crack open when the camera comes out.

What Our Hens Say
ABBA hen parties we have taught across Durham.
"Thirteen of us learning a Dancing Queen routine in a studio just off Market Place, then straight out down Saddler Street. Looked far better on camera than any of us deserved."
— Nuala Threlkeld ★★★★★"Booked the come-to-you option at our rental near Elvet and the choreographer had the bride's mam front row within two songs. Absolute joy."
— Bryony Metcalf-Dunn ★★★★★"Not one of us could dance and somehow there was a full seventies number by the end. Fizz cracked open, phones out, chaos."
— Ceri Ogle ★★★★★"We dragged it back out at the wedding months later and the floor went up. Best thing we booked for the whole Durham weekend."
— Marnie Woodifield ★★★★★ABBA Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our ABBA hen party dance class in Durham.
Which ABBA songs will we dance to on the Durham hen party? +
The big titles are all fair game — Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo, Super Trouper and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! among them. Tell us a favourite when you book and the choreographer will centre the routine on it; nothing is set in stone until we've heard what the group wants.
Do we need a studio or can you come to us? +
Either works. We can point you at a central studio a short walk from Market Place, or the choreographer brings the whole class — speaker and all — to your hotel or Airbnb anywhere across Durham City and the county. All we need is a cleared floor and a plug.
How much does the ABBA hen party cost? +
A flat £140 for a one-hour class or £165 for ninety minutes, for the whole group rather than per person. You can add a £10 bottle of fizz if you'd like something to toast with. The price is fixed before the day, so nothing extra appears afterwards.
None of us can really dance — is that a problem? +
Not in the slightest. The routine is built for complete beginners and taught in small, repeatable chunks, with the bride kept front and centre. Most groups surprise themselves within the first twenty minutes.
How many people can join in? +
Anything from a small group of five or six up to thirty-plus works fine. Larger parties just want a bit more floor, so mention your numbers and your room when you enquire and we'll make sure it fits.
What should we wear, and does Durham's terrain matter? +
Flares, sequins and boas are all welcome — we bring a few bits too. Comfortable shoes help, especially as Durham's cobbles and steep little hills are no friend to platform heels between venues, so save the towering ones for the photos.
