About This 80s Hen Party Dance Class in Swindon
Most towns borrow their eighties soundtrack; Swindon helped record it. XTC formed in the town during the seventies and were all over the Top 10 by 1982 with Senses Working Overtime, so an 80s dance hen party Swindon brides dream up starts with actual local bragging rights, before a single legwarmer is even pulled on.
Set the group up in an Old Town studio, near Wood Street, and the evening sorts itself: the Devizes Road bars are a short totter away once the blusher has peaked. It is a climb up from the station, so a quick taxi spares the costumes. Prefer to stay put? The whole class packs into a car and runs at your place across Swindon and Wiltshire.
Money stays blunt: the group settles one figure, an hour is £140 and ninety minutes £165, and piling extra hens on never shifts it, with only a hired studio able to. We film the closing run while the crimped hair still holds. Look up 80s dance hen do Swindon and this is the hour the group thread keeps rewinding.

What's Included in Your 80s Hen Party
- A professional choreographer steering the session from first count to last, keeping half an eye on whoever reckons rhythm skipped them
- A set list raided from the era's biggest singles, leaning on whatever the bride belts without thinking
- An easy warm-up first and a proper cool-down last, both sitting inside the hour you actually pay for
- Every speaker, lead and track set up before you reach the top of the stairs; bring wigs and hairspray, nothing else
- A slow, forgiving pace that assumes no dance background whatsoever in the room
- Camera and phone-video breaks called whenever the neon look is worth getting down
- One price for the party however the numbers fall, and a fuller floor just works out less each
- Your choice of an Old Town or Railway Quarter room, or the whole class brought to your door
- The closing routine filmed and shared round the group that same evening
What You'll Experience at Our 80s Dance Class
- Stadium-sized eighties energy the second the first synth kicks in
- The strut, the point and the shoulder rolls that stamp any clip as 1980-something
- Spacing that keeps the whole group in frame with nobody marooned at the back
- The number handed over one chunk at a time, so it stands up long before anyone panics
- A finish with enough swagger to wheel back out at the wedding
- Sixty-odd minutes of roaring choruses you only ever half-knew, loud enough that apologising never crosses anyone's mind
Perfect For Your Swindon Hen Do
- Brides who would ditch the current Top 40 in a heartbeat for Wham!, Madonna and a bit of hometown XTC
- Groups meaning to spill straight down into the Old Town bars the moment class wraps
- Hens already deep into an order of puffball skirts, lace gloves and headbands the size of dinner plates
- Rooms that span a couple of generations, where it might be an aunt who remembers XTC first time round
- Weekends based out in Wroughton, Highworth or Royal Wootton Bassett who would rather the class turned up to them
- Anyone whose entire wish for the day is a single, ridiculous group photo they'll actually print
What Our Hens Say
80s hen parties we have taught across Swindon.
"We badly underestimated the Old Town hill in heels and costumes, so the cab driver got the first look at our neon. He gave it a solid seven out of ten. The class got a ten."
— Dionne P. ★★★★★"We're all Swindon born and had no idea XTC were ours until the choreographer mentioned it. Spent the whole drinks afterwards arguing about it. The routine was brilliant; the pub-quiz fact was a bonus."
— Corinne A. ★★★★★"The choreographer built a daft bit where we all changed direction at once, and someone christened it the Magic Roundabout. Now it's the only part anyone can actually remember. Chaos, in the best way."
— Roz M. ★★★★★"We printed the final group shot and it's on the bride's fridge now, all of us mid-point in full neon, looking like an album cover. Worth every penny and then some."

Everything you need to know about our 80s hen party dance class in Swindon.
What 80s songs will we dance to at the hen party in Swindon? +
The routine is welded from the decade's biggest floor-fillers, Tainted Love, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Let's Dance and a Dancing on the Ceiling finish, with the order steered toward the bride. Want a proper Swindon touch? We'll drop XTC's Senses Working Overtime in for the hens who'll clock it.
Is the XTC thing actually a Swindon connection, or just a nice line? +
Genuinely local. XTC formed in Swindon in the seventies and were a Top 10 band by 1982 with Senses Working Overtime, about as hometown as an eighties nod gets. Your choreographer can work a short XTC moment into the number or keep it pure neon-pop chart hits; entirely the group's call.
How much does an 80s hen party in Swindon cost? +
One figure for the whole room, never a ticket each: £140 gets you the hour and £165 the ninety-minute version, with a partner-studio hire the only line that can join it. Twenty-nine hens and nine hens are quoted exactly the same, so nothing gets carved up afterwards.
We're getting the train in, how far is the studio? +
Swindon station drops you in the centre, a few minutes from the Railway Quarter rooms; the Old Town studios sit up the hill, so grab a cab if you're loaded down with costumes. There's no tram or metro here, it's the station, local buses and the M4, and Old Town is genuinely a climb, not a stroll.
Who sorts the neon costumes, us or you? +
That department is entirely yours, and bickering over it in the group chat is half the build-up. Puffball skirts, headbands, lace gloves, blue eyeshadow applied without restraint, take it as far as you dare. We turn up with the music, the kit and the steps and leave the wardrobe firmly in your hands.
Can you bring the whole thing out to us in Wiltshire? +
Regularly. We fold the whole session, speaker, playlist and choreographer, into the car and rebuild it in your hall, hotel function room or barn out past the town: Wroughton, Highworth, Cricklade, Marlborough way. All it takes is room to move and somewhere to plug in the speaker, so pop your postcode on the enquiry and any travel is quoted up front.
