About This Irish Dancing Hen Party Dance Class in Cheltenham
An Irish dancing hen party class is pure, grinning fun — arms down, chins up and a whole line of hens hammering out quick feet in unison. Your choreographer teaches a Riverdance-inspired routine that builds from the basics: the sevens, the treble, the little kick-and-hop that suddenly makes everyone feel like they belong on a stage. It is energetic and joyful, the sort of session where the giggling starts the moment the group tries to keep the arms pinned and the feet flying at the same time. By the finish, the whole party is thundering the floor together and loving the racket.
We bring Irish dancing right across Cheltenham and out into Gloucestershire, so wherever the hen weekend is based, the class comes to you. That might be a Cotswold cottage, a Regency townhouse rental, a Pittville hotel function room, a village hall out towards Bishops Cleeve or Prestbury, or an Airbnb near Imperial Square — we just need a bit of floor space and a hard-ish surface for the steps to sound right. There is also a town-centre studio a short stroll from the Promenade if you would rather come to us. If your dates land on the March Festival or a race meeting, book ahead — accommodation and taxis get tight across the whole town those weekends.
No experience is needed and no dance shoes either — trainers are fine to start. Your choreographer breaks the footwork into slow, countable pieces and speeds it up only when the group is ready, so even the most rhythm-shy hen ends up in time. Once the routine is drilled and the line is stamping as one, you will have earned the night out: dinner along the Promenade, a lively table in the Brewery Quarter or cocktails in Montpellier. Fast feet first, then Cheltenham does the rest.

What Our Hens Say
Irish Dancing hen parties we have taught across Cheltenham.
"We have Irish family so this was a must, and it was even better than we hoped. The choreographer had thirteen of us stamping in a line in a village hall near Prestbury and it sounded incredible. So much laughing."
— Orla Q. ★★★★★"Came out to our Cotswold cottage, no travel needed. Trainers were fine, the steps built up slowly and by the end we genuinely felt like we could do it. The bride loved leading the line."
— Nuala V. ★★★★★"So much more of a workout than we expected and brilliant fun for it. Trying to keep the arms down while the feet went mad had us in bits. Best hen activity, hands down."
— Aoife Q. ★★★★★"Different, energetic and a proper talking point. Our teacher was patient with the two of us who have no rhythm and we still ended up in time. Finished with dinner on the Promenade buzzing."
— Sorcha Q. ★★★★★Irish Dancing Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Irish Dancing hen party dance class in Cheltenham.
Do we need Irish dance shoes? +
Not at all. Trainers or comfy flat shoes are perfect to start. The routine is taught so it works in ordinary footwear, and you will still get that satisfying rhythm going as a group.
Is this suitable for complete beginners? +
Completely. Your choreographer breaks the footwork into slow, countable steps and only picks up the pace when everyone is ready. If you can march on the spot, you can do this.
How many people can take part? +
From 5 up to around 30. Bigger groups get an extra instructor so the whole line stays together and everyone can keep up.
Do you come to us? +
Yes — we cover the whole of Cheltenham and out across Gloucestershire, including Prestbury, Bishops Cleeve, Staverton and the Cotswold villages. We just need a bit of floor space and a firmer surface so the steps sound right. A town-centre studio near the Promenade is available too.
How long is it and what does it cost? +
Either 1 hour at £140 or 1.5 hours at £165 for the whole group, instructor only. The longer session builds a fuller routine with time for photos. Bubbly is an optional flat £10.
Will we actually be able to do the fast bits? +
Yes — the speed builds gradually, and your choreographer keeps everyone in time. By the end the whole line is thundering the floor together, which is exactly the moment worth filming.
