About This 80s Hen Party Dance Class in Southampton
Above Bar and Guildhall Square have been Southampton's going-out heart since the decade this whole thing celebrates, and that is roughly where an 80s dance hen party Southampton brides book tends to land. A choreographer turns up with a shortlist of shoulder-pad anthems — Holiday, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Let's Dance, Relax — and shapes them into one struttable routine you learn in short, bite-sized runs.
Nobody expects a dance background. The steps are pulled apart, slowed right down and looped until the least confident person in the room is grinning through the chorus, while the show-off flourishes go to whoever actually wants them. Two passes in, the friend who only came for the photos is somehow leading the front line and refusing to hand it back.
The number is plain: £140 for a full hour, £165 if you stretch to ninety minutes, settled once by the group instead of ticket by ticket, with a studio room the only thing that can join it. The final run is filmed to keep, and an 80s dance hen do Southampton then spills the couple of minutes down to Bedford Place, where the independent bars and brunch spots handle the rest of the night.

What's Included in Your 80s Hen Party
- A professional choreographer front and centre for the whole session, calling counts and tidying the ragged edges
- An 80s medley built from the floor-fillers the bride would defend to the death, arranged for your group alone
- A warm-up to open and a stretch to close, both counted inside the time you booked
- Speaker, leads and the full playlist carried in and set up by us — you bring nothing but the neon
- A pace pitched at people whose last routine was a wedding first dance, no experience taken for granted
- Photo pauses called while the fringe jackets and legwarmers still look their brightest
- One flat group price that stays put whether a dozen hens show or thirty
- A central studio near the Cultural Quarter reserved for you, or the class driven out across Hampshire
- The finished routine filmed and shared to the group while you're still catching your breath
What You'll Experience at Our 80s Dance Class
- Full neon-lit energy from the opening bar, arms up and unbothered
- The pointed struts, side-steps and big shoulder rolls that read as pure 80s on a phone screen
- Wide group formations built for the camera rather than the dance exam
- Each section layered slowly, so the routine assembles before anyone has time to panic
- A finale confident enough to earn an encore on a Bedford Place pavement
- A fair few chances to belt the wrong lyric with total conviction
Perfect For Your Southampton Hen Do
- Hen dos where the bride's specialist subject is the 1984 singles chart
- Squads planning to walk the routine straight out into the Bedford Place bar circuit
- Dress-up devotees already three Amazon orders deep in neon and net gloves
- Mixed-age parties where the mums know every word better than the daughters
- Groups staying in a New Forest cottage who want the class delivered to the door
- Anyone whose main goal is one gloriously lit photo for the wedding montage
What Our Hens Say
80s hen parties we have taught across Southampton.
"Sixteen of us, matching net gloves, and a Relax routine that got a genuine round of applause when we performed it outside a bar on Carlton Place. Best two minutes of the whole weekend."
— Hannah P. ★★★★★"We had her come to the house we'd rented near Lyndhurst. Sceptical group, low ceilings, zero coordination — and by the end everyone knew the Holiday routine cold, mums included."
— Denise M. ★★★★★"Swore I'd stay at the back filming. Ended up front row, arms everywhere, looking weirdly like I meant it. The bride hasn't let me live it down."
— Kirsty W. ★★★★★"Cheapest thing on the whole itinerary and the bit everyone still brings up. My I Wanna Dance with Somebody spin has become a running joke."
— Beth R. ★★★★★80s Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our 80s hen party dance class in Southampton.
What 80s songs will we dance to at the hen party in Southampton? +
The usual starting four are Holiday, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Let's Dance and Relax, though nothing is fixed and the set bends to the room. If the bride has one track she refuses to skip, note it on the enquiry and a stretch of the routine gets built around it.
How much does an 80s hen party in Southampton cost? +
One charge for the whole group, never a fee per head — £140 for the hour, £165 for ninety minutes, with a partner studio the only possible extra. Split between twenty hens it comes to very little each, which is roughly where the per-person outfits start to look expensive.
How do we get to the class from Southampton Central? +
Most groups train into Southampton Central and it's a short walk or quick taxi across to the Cultural Quarter and Guildhall Square studios. The city runs buses rather than a tram or metro, so a Portswood or east-side venue is a bus or cab hop — we confirm the exact room and the easiest route once you book.
Do we sort the neon fancy dress ourselves? +
That part is all yours and it makes the footage — shoulder pads, sweatbands, ra-ra skirts, as much neon as you can carry. We handle the routine, the playlist and the PA. Prefer to skip the dressing up? Plain leggings and trainers get you through it fine.
Half of us haven't danced in years — will we keep up? +
Almost everyone walks in saying that. The choreographer teaches in short, repeatable blocks and keeps the fiddly moves optional, so a nervous first-timer and a confident one end up side by side looking equally sorted on film. Rhythm helps; enthusiasm matters more.
Can you come out to us across Hampshire? +
Happily. The whole session loads into the car and travels to your hotel, rental or hall — right across Southampton and out to Romsey, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End or a New Forest let. Clear a decent stretch of floor, find a plug for the speaker, and you've got everything you need for the hour.
