About This Thriller Hen Party Dance Class in Portsmouth
In the 1880s a young, under-employed doctor named Arthur Conan Doyle sat in his Southsea surgery waiting for patients who rarely came, and filled the dead hours dreaming up Sherlock Holmes — the very first story, A Study in Scarlet, was written here in Portsmouth. Mystery is baked into the place, fog and all off the Solent, which makes it ideal ground for pop's most copied horror routine. A thriller dance hen party Portsmouth takes that graveyard dance apart into short repeating chunks and drills a jumble of nervous twitching into one sinister, dead-in-time pack.
It calls for zero technique — the leaden shuffle, the bent claws, the sharp head-whip and the travelling shoulder roll are tailor-made for the hens who insist, hand on heart, that they cannot dance. We rehearse around Albert Road and the Guildhall quarter, a short walk from the Southsea streets Conan Doyle once paced, and settle your exact room at booking; the longer session gives room to slot in extra Michael Jackson.
However many rise from the grave, the cost stays put — sixty minutes is £140 and the ninety-minute version £165 — a party of eight paying precisely what thirty would, with a tenner added only for toasting fizz. Sooner raise the dead well away from prying eyes? The entire spectacle drives out to you across south-east Hampshire. For the video, angle the camera down a staircase onto the shuffling mass. Set a thriller dance hen do Portsmouth for the afternoon and you can lurch straight off to the old pubs of Spice Island in Old Portsmouth after.

What Our Hens Say
Thriller hen parties we have taught across Portsmouth.
"Sixteen of us lurching through the shuffle in a Southsea studio, then filmed from the stairwell peering in. Easily the weekend's standout clip."
— Verity G. ★★★★★"Did the come-to-you at our Old Portsmouth Airbnb — face paint on every surface, the head-whip bang in time, the neighbours a touch worried."
— Sadia M. ★★★★★"Not one of us can dance and that was the entire idea. We turned into a genuinely creepy pack."
— Jo N. ★★★★★"Learned it one afternoon, unleashed it on the reception weeks later. The whole room shrieked."
— Elin W. ★★★★★Thriller Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Thriller hen party dance class in Portsmouth.
What songs will we dance to at a Thriller hen party in Portsmouth? +
Thriller drives the routine itself, and the ninety-minute option opens up room for more Michael Jackson — a taste of Smooth Criminal, Beat It or Bad. Titles only, no words to remember; if the bride has a track she wants in, mention it when you book and it goes in.
Genuinely, none of us can dance — will that wreck a Thriller class? +
Quite the opposite — zombies are supposed to lurch, so looking stiff is you getting it dead right. The choreographer splits the routine into short loops and repeats each until the group snaps together, and it is usually the rooms of self-confessed non-dancers that turn out the eeriest horde.
Do you provide the zombie makeup, or is that our job? +
The dance, the choreographer and the sound come from us; the gore is on you, and it is half the entertainment. Groups usually split a pot of white face paint, some dark eye shadow and a bottle of fake blood between them — a budget kit shared per pair stretches nicely. We can suggest looks when you book.
How much does a Thriller hen party in Portsmouth cost? +
One rate no matter the size of the horde — £140 for the hour, £165 for the ninety-minute cut — plus studio hire only when you use a partner venue. Whether eight turn up or thirty, the figure stays put, and a £10 bottle of fizz for the toast is the single optional add-on.
Whereabouts in Portsmouth does it run, and is it easy to get to? +
We rehearse at partner studios around Albert Road in Southsea and the Guildhall quarter, a short walk from Portsmouth & Southsea station and the buses, with your room named when you book. No tram to decode on the island, and if you would rather not move, the whole graveyard routine comes to you across Hampshire.
Could we spring the whole thing on the wedding later? +
Loads do — it makes a superb reception ambush. Tell the choreographer that is the aim and the routine is built to outlast a few months and a couple of drinks, so your horde can rear up mid-reception and send the guests into meltdown right when they least suspect it.
