About This Burlesque Hen Party Dance Class in Durham
Burlesque is all attitude and timing, and a Durham hen do takes to it fast. The choreographer builds a cheeky, tease-not-strip routine around the bride — gloves, a feather boa, a chair and a slow shoulder-roll — and drills it until a group who arrived nervous is strutting like they've done it for years. Nothing comes off; the whole thing is confidence and a wink.
We keep it honest: there's no in-house troupe to name-drop, just a proper choreographer and a private room where the group can be as daft as they like away from any crowd. A central studio a couple of minutes from Saddler Street works well before a night in Durham's bars, or we bring the class to your hotel or Airbnb so the boas never leave the building.
One flat price covers the lot — £140 for the hour or £165 for ninety minutes, for the whole group rather than per head — with the option of a £10 bottle of fizz to loosen the first few shimmies. By the final run-through you'll have a routine sultry enough to make the bride blush and a camera roll nobody's showing her mother.

What Our Hens Say
Burlesque hen parties we have taught across Durham.
"A private room minutes from Saddler Street, gloves and boas, and by the end the shyest of us was strutting hardest. Cried laughing."
— Talitha Renwick-Hall ★★★★★"Loved that they were honest — a real choreographer, no gimmicky troupe, just a brilliant hour built around the bride at our place near Gilesgate."
— Josanne Peart ★★★★★"Cheeky, never exposing, exactly the vibe we wanted before cocktails in town. The chair routine still gets mentioned in the group chat."
— Elspeth Snaith ★★★★★"Booked it for my sister's hen and the confidence lift was unreal. Fizz open, boas everywhere, not a single move actually risqué."
— Kirstie Hebborn ★★★★★Burlesque Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Burlesque hen party dance class in Durham.
Is the burlesque hen class a strip routine? +
Not at all — everything stays fully clothed. It's a tease-not-strip class built on attitude, timing and a bit of cheek: gloves, a boa, a chair and a knowing look. The confidence is the point, not the reveal.
Do you have a burlesque troupe we're learning from? +
We're straight with you here — there's no resident troupe, just an experienced burlesque choreographer who teaches the routine and keeps the room relaxed. You're booking a proper class, not a show, and it's all built around your group.
Where does the class happen? +
Either a private central studio a short walk from Saddler Street, ideal before a night in Durham's bars, or your own hotel or Airbnb anywhere across Durham City and the county. We bring the speaker; you just need a cleared floor and a bit of privacy.
How much is it and are there hidden extras? +
A flat £140 for the hour or £165 for ninety minutes, covering the whole group rather than charging per person. A £10 bottle of fizz is an optional add-on. The figure is agreed before the day, so nothing extra lands afterwards.
We're all beginners and a bit nervous — will that show? +
That's exactly who the class is for. The choreographer breaks every move down slowly and keeps it playful, so the nerves melt within the first few minutes and the bride ends up leading the strut.
What should we wear and bring? +
Something you can move in and feel a bit glam in — heels optional, though Durham's cobbles mean flats between venues are wiser. We provide boas and a bit of kit; you bring the attitude.
