About This Wicked Hen Party Dance Class in Durham
A Wicked hen party in Durham is built around the show's two-witch dynamic and its big, arms-wide West End drama. Your choreographer plays up the contrast between the bubbly pink one and the fierce green one, so the bride and her maid of honour can share a proper duet moment while the rest of the group swells the ensemble around them. It builds the way the show's showstopper builds — a soft, held opening that grows into a soaring, chest-out finale that feels enormous even in a hired studio.
Wicked is one of the most-toured musicals in the country, and city-centre stages such as the Gala Theatre Durham are exactly where audiences catch big touring productions when they come through, so it lands as a familiar reference for a Durham hen without any premiere, debut or affiliation claim from us. We keep it to the choreography: the emerald-and-pink staging, the witchy hand shapes and that signature slow-build into a finale where everyone throws their arms wide at once. No singing required — this is all about looking the part.
It runs wherever your weekend is based: a house on the cathedral-peninsula side, a hotel over in Elvet, a bigger place out toward Framwellgate Moor, or a studio a few minutes from the Market Place. Learn the number in the afternoon, then take the drama down to the bars in the evening. As ever in Durham, the cobbled lanes and steep gradients are unkind to fresh heels, so bring flats for getting about. One flat price covers the whole group, and we come to you.

What Our Hens Say
Wicked hen parties we have taught across Durham.
"We wanted proper theatre, not a club routine, and this delivered. The slow build into the arms-wide finale gave everyone goosebumps, even in a hotel function room in Elvet."
— Danielle Kirsopp ★★★★★"Our teacher set up a duet moment for the bride and me and it was gorgeous. Total beginners, the lot of us, but by the end it looked genuinely dramatic on the video."
— Freya Nattrass ★★★★★"Flat price for fourteen, came to our house near Framwellgate Moor, no fuss about numbers. Big, belty and so much fun — exactly the West End moment we were after."
— Paige Snaith ★★★★★"The pink-witch and green-witch contrast had us in stitches. We ran the whole number again at the bar later that night in Durham. Easily the highlight of the hen."
— Cerys Maddison ★★★★★Wicked Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Wicked hen party dance class in Durham.
Do we need to have seen Wicked? +
Not at all. Superfans enjoy spotting the two-witch staging, but the routine works purely as a dramatic West End number that anyone can learn. Your choreographer teaches it move by move at a gentle pace, so complete beginners build the big finale together with everyone else.
Did Wicked premiere or is it based in Durham? +
No. Wicked is a touring production, and city-centre venues like the Gala Theatre Durham are the sort of stages that welcome big touring musicals through. We have no affiliation with the show or any theatre, and make no premiere, debut or partnership claim — it is simply a much-loved reference for a Durham hen.
Is there any singing involved? +
None whatsoever — this is a dance class, so you can leave the belting to the professionals. We choreograph the drama of the show instead: the staging, the hand shapes and the slow-build finale. If your group wants to hum along while you learn, we are certainly not going to stop you.
What does it cost and does that include fizz? +
It is one flat price for the whole group — £140 for an hour or £165 for ninety minutes — covering your choreographer and the full routine rather than a per-person charge. You can add a single £10 bottle of fizz for the bride to toast with; that is one flat bottle for the group, not a cost per head.
Where in Durham can you teach us? +
We travel to you — a house on the cathedral-peninsula side, a hotel in Elvet, a place out toward Framwellgate Moor, or a studio we help arrange near the Market Place. Keep the cobbles and steep hills in mind when planning heels and luggage; flats for the walk about make the day far easier.
How large a group can you take? +
From a small handful up to about thirty works well, and the ensemble-and-duet structure scales cleanly either way — a bigger group simply builds a fuller finale. Let us know your numbers when you enquire so we can match the choreographer and the space to the size of your party.
