Pole Dancing Hen Party Dance Class Brighton
Think of a pole dancing hen party dance class in Brighton as the fitness class the discipline is actually built on: core, control, slow floorwork and a great deal of swagger, taught on your feet and fully clothed. We're a dance company rather than a pole studio, so no equipment comes into it — what your teacher does is choreograph their own routine in that style, sized to the group in the room. £175 plus the venue covers everybody.
Pole style · strength, floorwork, attitude
Get the date down.
Everything else can wait.
A date and a rough number are enough to start. How hard the conditioning goes, how much floorwork the group wants and whether anyone is doing this purely to prove a point to her sister can all be worked out on the day. One of us comes back the same day with what's free, which room fits and the all-in figure.

The fitness, the attitude, no equipment.
Straight answer on the pole itself
We don't install, carry or hire poles, and this class doesn't put anyone on one. It borrows what the discipline is genuinely known for — shoulder and core strength, weight shifted slowly through the hips, controlled floorwork, a walk that owns the room — and turns that into choreography a whole party can do at once on a wooden floor. If your group specifically wants apparatus, a specialist pole studio is the right call and we'd say so. If they want the workout and the swagger with everyone dancing together, this is it.
Pitched at the room, written by the teacher
Every instructor builds their own material for this one and adjusts it live. Someone with a party of gym regulars will push the conditioning further; someone facing a mixed group in their forties with dodgy knees will keep it upright and lean on style instead of strength. Nothing is committed to in advance — not the order, not the floor sections, not how long the strength block runs. No experience is necessary in either direction: the confident get something to chase and the reluctant get something they can genuinely do by the end.
What tends to come next
Parties who enjoy the slower, sultrier half often book Burlesque for the next wedding in the group, while the ones chasing the sweat go for Commercial. Browse the rest of the Brighton hen party themes if this isn't quite it, or look at our weekly dance classes in Brighton — a surprising number of hens who turned up to a hen do dance class purely for the laugh end up on an interest list before they've left the room.

Ninety minutes,
very loosely mapped.
It opens slowly and deliberately — mobility for the shoulders, hips and wrists, because that is where this style asks the most. Then come isolations and stance, then the routine itself in short pieces, layered until the shapes stop feeling foreign. Whether there's a separate strength section, how far the floorwork goes and what the ending looks like are decided by your teacher against what the room is managing. Treat this as a sketch rather than a schedule: each instructor paces their own class and nothing here is a fixed timetable.
What the hens said afterwards.
Click a name to readEnid+
Half of us assumed there would be equipment and half of us were relieved there wasn't. It was a proper workout with a lot of attitude, and my legs told me about it on the train home.
Flick+
Nobody had to take a single thing off, which was the deciding factor for our lot. Still felt daring.
Gilly+
I'd flagged two dodgy knees and a shoulder on the form and the teacher quietly gave those three of us a different option every time the floorwork came round. Genuinely thoughtful, and we never once felt like the spare parts.
Hetty+
Booked as the daring hen party idea and it delivered exactly that, minus the awkwardness we'd all privately braced for. Twenty women strutting in a hired room off the seafront is a sight.
Pole dancing, answered.
Due diligence for this hen party activity, answered before it enters the itinerary.
Are there actual poles in the room?+
No — we're a dance company, not a pole studio, and we don't supply, install or hire apparatus of any kind. The class teaches the movement style: conditioning, floorwork, isolations and stance, all done standing on the floor with everyone dancing at once.
Does anyone have to strip off?+
Absolutely not. Everyone stays fully dressed for the whole session — leggings and a top most people would wear to a gym class is the standard. The suggestive reputation is in the movement, not the wardrobe.
We're not fit. Is this beyond us?+
No experience is needed and nobody is expected to arrive in shape. Your teacher scales the strength work to the bodies in front of them and offers an easier version of anything that isn't landing, so a mixed-ability party works fine.
What should we wear and bring?+
Leggings or shorts, a top you can move in, and bare feet or trainers — heels are a bad idea for this one. We don't lend or sell kit, shoes or costumes, so anything you want to dance in comes with you. A water bottle earns its place.
Can the bride sit out the bits she hates?+
She can, and so can anyone else. A featured moment is offered rather than imposed, and stepping back for a section is treated as completely normal. Tell the teacher on arrival and it's handled without a fuss.
How many can we bring, and what does that do to the cost?+
Nothing at all — it's £175 plus the venue for ninety minutes or £150 plus the venue for an hour, from nine hens up to twenty-nine. A bigger party just means we hire a bigger room for you.
Which venues do you use?+
One of four rooms we hire across town: Madeira Drive on the seafront, North Road in North Laine near the station, Mermaid Walk at the Marina and Montpelier Road towards Hove. We match the room to your numbers, or come to your hen house anywhere in Sussex instead.
