About This Thriller Hen Party Dance Class in Durham
A Thriller hen party is a brilliant one for groups who love a bit of drama and a lot of laughs. Your choreographer teaches the film's legendary zombie shuffle — the shoulder rolls, the claws, the side-step and that unmistakable horror-pop swagger — layered up from a simple base so the whole group is lurching in sync in no time.
It is a theme with real atmosphere in Durham, a compact, ancient city that does dusk beautifully — the Norman cloisters and cathedral towers looming over the cobbles, the Wear dark below the bridges. If your hen do lands near the biennial Lumiere light festival, when the whole city glows after dark, the mood is perfect; either way we bring all the theatrical, spine-tingling fun to your session without ever tipping into anything grim.
No experience needed — the zombie shuffle is one of the most fun and forgiving routines we teach, all character and attitude rather than fiddly footwork. By the final run your group will have a full horror-pop number, dramatic enough to perform at the reception and guaranteed to raise a scream of laughter.

What Our Hens Say
Thriller hen parties we have taught across Durham.
"We did the full zombie shuffle in fake blood and cobwebs and screamed laughing the whole time. A perfect Halloween hen in Durham."

— Kirsty Eldon, Framwellgate ★★★★★"Booked it for an autumn hen and the dusk mood in the old city was spot on. Dramatic, hilarious and beautifully taught."
— Manpreet Gill, Durham City ★★★★★"They came to our cottage in the county and turned us all into a very giggly horde. The video is our group chat's favourite thing."
— Georgie Wanless, Belmont ★★★★★Thriller Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Thriller hen party dance class in Durham.
Is the Thriller routine hard to learn? +
Not at all — it is one of our most beginner-friendly themes, built on character and attitude rather than tricky footwork. Durham groups pick up the shuffle and the claws within minutes, and everything is layered gently so even total beginners lurch in perfect sync by the end.
How much is a Thriller hen class in Durham? +
A flat £140 for one hour or £165 for ninety minutes, for the whole group rather than per person, plus venue hire only if you need a room booked. You can add a chilled fizz toast to finish for a flat £10 bottle for the group.
Does it have to be near Halloween? +
Not at all — Thriller is a hit all year round, and plenty of Durham groups book it purely because they love the song and the drama. That said, it is especially popular for autumn and Halloween-season hen dos, when the costumes and photos are extra fun.
Can we dress up? +
Absolutely — a bit of pale make-up, ripped clothes and some fake cobwebs make the photos and video brilliant. It is entirely optional though; comfy clothes and flat shoes are perfectly fine if you would rather just dance.
Where in Durham do the classes take place? +
A central studio near the Market Place and the cathedral peninsula, a room over on the Elvet or Gilesgate side, or your own venue anywhere across Durham City and the county — hotels, Airbnbs and halls in Chester-le-Street, Bowburn or Neville's Cross. We confirm the spot on booking.
How many hens can take part? +
From around six up to thirty. A bigger horde makes the routine even better — a whole line of hens doing the zombie shuffle in sync is a genuinely brilliant sight.
