Spice Girls Hen Party Dance Class Brighton
A Spice Girls hen party dance class in Brighton settles an argument the group has been having since 1997, because every single person already knows which one they are. Nothing here comes pre-packaged: your instructor choreographs their own material and writes it for the hens standing in front of them, in one of four rooms we hire across the city or at your hen house, for a flat £175 plus the venue.

Send the date.
Argue about Posh later.
The form only wants a date and a rough number of hens. Who claims which Spice, whether anybody turns up in platform trainers, how much attitude ends up in the chorus — none of that has to be decided now. We come back the same day with a yes or no on the date, plus the room and the total.
- £175 plus the venue buys 90 minutes; £150 plus the venue buys the hour

Why the Spice Girls still win a hen vote in 2026.
Everyone arrives already cast
There is no other theme where a group assigns itself parts in the taxi over. Nobody needs the songs explaining, nobody has to be told what the pointing is for, and a dance hen party that opens with the room already singing is a dance hen party that gets somewhere fast. Nineties pop is also forgiving material to learn on: the beat is obvious, the phrases are short, and the choruses come round often enough that the fourth repeat starts to feel like a victory lap rather than a drill. That combination is why it stays near the top of our Brighton hen party themes list, year after year, even for parties who arrived swearing they wanted something more sophisticated.
Your teacher writes it, not us
Dance Brighton keeps no house girl-band routine in a folder waiting to be handed out. Every instructor choreographs their own material and then bends it around whoever actually turns up — five confident movers and eleven who only came to watch, or a room of sixteen who all did dance until their GCSEs. Some teachers hand out the five roles and let them take turns at the front; some keep the whole party in formation and build the energy collectively; most simply ask what the group fancies once the warm-up has told them enough about the room. Nothing about the shape is promised in advance, which is exactly why it fits parties as different as yours and the one before it.
The bride, and what tends to happen next
A featured moment is offered to every bride and refused by roughly half of them, which is entirely fine and slightly funny. Groups who liked the pop but wanted sharper edges tend to come back for Street Dance; those who want more of the same decade go for the wider 90s mixed bag. And couples who worked out at the hen do dance class that they can, in fact, count to eight often reappear months later for a first dance lesson.

Ninety girl-power minutes,
loosely sketched.
Warm-ups exist to get the self-consciousness out of the way, and with this music they usually manage it inside five minutes. After that the material arrives in small pieces, each one drilled until the back row holds it as securely as the front. How much nineties theatre gets layered on top — the roles, the strut, a face-off across the middle of the floor — is decided between your teacher and the room while it is happening rather than beforehand. Most sessions finish with a full run for the phones. None of that is a schedule, though: your teacher sets the pace and the order shifts with the room in front of them.
What the hens said after.
Open a name to readMarta+
Sixteen women who had not been in the same room since 2011, all shouting the same chorus within ten minutes. The teacher clocked who was nervous and quietly kept them mid-row.
Noor+
We booked the hour because of a dinner reservation. Still got a whole routine out of it.
Oona+
Twenty-two of us, three generations, and my aunt turned out to be the best dancer in the family. Nobody had warned us about that.
Posy+
The bride said she absolutely did not want to be at the front, then spent the last twenty minutes at the front. That was the teacher's doing, very gently.
Spice Girls, answered.
Before the group commits to a hen party activity, this lot comes up.
Whose era of the girls do we get?+
The class is built on nineties girl-power pop, but the exact tracks and how many of them get used are your teacher's decision, because each instructor choreographs their own material. Put the bride's favourite in the message box and they will have a go at building towards it.
Do we have to pick a Spice each?+
Only if it amuses you, and most groups cannot help themselves. Roles are one of several optional shapes a teacher can reach for; plenty of parties stay in one block from start to finish and enjoy it every bit as much.
None of us can dance. Is that a problem?+
No experience is needed, and that is not a polite fiction — the material is pitched at the least confident person in the room and built upward from there. Nineties pop is unusually kind to beginners because the counts announce themselves.
Should we dress up for it?+
Up to you entirely. Union Jack anything photographs well, though costumes, props and shoes are not things we hand out, so whatever is themed has to travel with the group. A good half of the parties we teach turn up in leggings and trainers.
Five of you or twenty-five — what happens to the fee?+
It does not. Nine or twenty-nine, ninety minutes costs £175 plus the venue and the hour costs £150 plus the venue, and nothing is charged by the head. A larger party just means we hire a larger room.
Can we film it?+
Yes, and most groups do. A phone balanced on the speaker for the final run is close to standard here, and the clip is usually circulating in the group chat before anyone has found their coat.
Where does the class run?+
We hire four rooms around the city and match one to your headcount: Madeira Drive on the seafront, North Road up in North Laine, Mermaid Walk down at the Marina, and Montpelier Road at the Hove end. The room gets confirmed at the same time as your date. If you would rather not move the party at all, we bring the class to your hen house anywhere in Sussex.
