About This Chicago Hen Party Dance Class in Newport
Smoky 1920s jazz, black bowler hats, slow rolls and a wicked amount of attitude — the Chicago class trades pop bounce for something far more controlled and sultry. Nobody needs a scrap of dance training; the choreographer builds every angle with you, and the whole point is watching a room of first-timers discover that slinky, held-back Fosse style is more about swagger than flexibility.
The teaching is deliberately unhurried. You start with the signature isolations — a shoulder here, a hip there, a hand that flicks on the beat — then thread them into a short vamp before the sequence tips into a full sultry number with the bride out front as your Roxie. Because so much of Chicago lives in stillness and a raised eyebrow, even the most reluctant mover finds there is somewhere to hide and somewhere to shine at once.
Newport suits a bit of theatrical mischief. Learn the routine in a hotel room near the Usk riverfront, a house out in Malpas or a hired studio off Commercial Street, then take that jazz-club poise into an evening around Friars Walk. We come to wherever the group is staying across Newport and Gwent for one flat fee, so the only thing you organise is who is bringing the feather boa.

What Our Hens Say
Chicago hen parties we have taught across Newport.
"Chicago was the perfect call for a classy hen. We brought bowler hats and boas and our choreographer made a room of amateurs look properly sultry. Straight on to Friars Walk after, buzzing."
— Sioned V. ★★★★★"I cannot dance and cannot do the splits and none of it mattered. All attitude and slow rolls. The bride as Roxie was the star and we filmed the lot at our house in Malpas."
— Elin G. ★★★★★"So much cheekier and cooler than I expected. The freezes and flicks made us feel like a real chorus line by the end. Best hour of the Newport weekend by a mile."
— Nerys P. ★★★★★"Booked it for my sister and we all found our inner jazz villain. Taught in tiny bits, endless laughing, and the final video is genuinely slick. Would recommend to anyone."
— Rhiannon R. ★★★★★Chicago Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Chicago hen party dance class in Newport.
Do we need to be flexible or fit for Chicago? +
No. This style leans on attitude and control rather than splits or high kicks, so it flatters every body and fitness level. The isolations and freezes are taught slowly, and the swagger does most of the heavy lifting.
Can we use hats, chairs or boas? +
Absolutely, and they lift the whole thing. Bowler hats, a chair each or a feather boa are all easy props to add, and the choreographer will fold whatever you bring into the routine. Tell us at booking so we plan the space.
None of us have danced before — is that fine? +
Completely. The class is designed for total beginners and taught in small repeated chunks, so the sultry finished number is really lots of simple, achievable pieces stacked together. Confidence builds fast with this style.
Will you come to our Newport venue? +
Yes. We travel to your hotel, Airbnb, house or hired room across Newport and Gwent — from Commercial Street and the Riverfront out to Maindee, Malpas, Rogerstone, Bettws and Caerleon — with no extra travel charge in the area.
How much and how long? +
£140 for a full hour or £165 for ninety minutes, priced per instructor rather than per head, so bigger groups get more value. Venue hire is extra only if you need a room found, and a bottle of bubbly for the bride can be added at a flat ten pounds.
What space do we need for it? +
Enough clear floor for the group to sit or stand in a loose line with room for slow, controlled movement — a decent lounge with sofas pushed back, a function room or a garden room all suit it well. We confirm details when you book.
