About This 90s Hen Party Dance Class in Derby
In 1996 a small Derby games studio, Core Design, sketched out a treasure hunter named Lara Croft and quietly handed the nineties one of its defining icons — Tomb Raider was Derby-made, and the city marked it with a thirty-years-on Lara Croft exhibition in 2026. That kick-the-door-in swagger is what a 90s dance hen party Derby crews book leans into, stitched around titles like Spice Up Your Life, Saturday Night and 5,6,7,8.
None of it demands a dancing past. Each section is handed over slowly and on repeat, the show-off moves left to whoever wants them, so a room of strangers is grinning in time inside a couple of run-throughs. Derby even smuggled its own record into the decade — White Town's Your Woman, made in a bedroom in this city, topped the chart in 1997 — and the last full run is filmed, so a clip survives long after the scrunchies come out.
Set yourselves up in the Cathedral Quarter and the evening almost plans itself: bottomless brunch at Slug & Lettuce on Iron Gate, a private corner at the Fat Cat up Friar Gate, cocktails around Sadler Gate, all a few steps apart. The money is refreshingly blunt — £140 for the hour, £165 for ninety minutes, charged to the group as one and never by the head, with a partner-studio room the sole possible add-on. So a 90s dance hen do Derby only gets cheaper a head the more of you pile in.

What's Included in Your 90s Hen Party
- A choreographer up front the whole session, welding the tracks together and riding out every gear-change where the tempo jumps
- A running order aimed at your corner of the nineties — sugar-rush girl-pop, a boyband slowie or unrepentant Euro-stomp
- A loosen-off to start and a wind-down to shut it, neither one stealing a minute from your slot
- We rig the speaker, the leads and the full playlist — the group is on backing-vocal duty and nothing else
- Each move sliced small and looped until even the never-danced corner of the room owns it
- Photo pauses dropped in while the lines are still crisp and everyone is upright
- One figure that holds firm whether a dozen hens land or thirty-five
- A Cathedral Quarter studio reserved, or the whole class parcelled up and driven across Derbyshire
- The last run captured and saved to your phones before a single coat is back on
What You'll Experience at Our 90s Dance Class
- A playful action-heroine strut lifted from the decade Lara Croft was born into
- The Macarena-era shared moves your body still half-remembers
- Big singalong formations that read brilliantly on camera
- Enough cheese to make a superfan happy and a sceptic laugh
- A run-it-again finish that survives a reception dance floor
- A room of near-strangers turning into a proper cast inside the hour
Perfect For Your Derby Hen Do
- Brides whose teenage tape collection still lurks in a drawer and is going nowhere
- Tomb Raider fans who fancy channelling a little Derby-made action swagger
- Groups lining the class up ahead of karaoke round the Cathedral Quarter
- Whatever scrunchies, crop tops and butterfly clips the group can scrape together
- Old university housemates who first bonded over these exact tunes
- Anyone who can still, worryingly, recite the 1997 singles chart in order
What Our Hens Say
90s hen parties we have taught across Derby.
"We leaned all the way into the Lara Croft thing and performed it like we were raiding a tomb. The video is gloriously daft. Fifteen of us, not a dancer among us, and the ending still lands in the group chat every Friday."
— Rach D. ★★★★★"Had them come out to a hired cottage near Belper — low beams, a room full of women with no rhythm — and by the end we owned a full Steps number. My mum claimed the front and refused to give it back."
— Nat W. ★★★★★"Swore blind I would only film and not dance. I'm front and centre of every clip looking suspiciously competent. Still can't work out how she pulled that off in an hour."
— Priya S. ★★★★★"Cheapest hour of the trip and comfortably the one we go on about most. Those Saturday Night steps turn up at every family do now."
— Kirsty M. ★★★★★90s Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our 90s hen party dance class in Derby.
Does Derby actually have a claim on the nineties? +
A strong one. Lara Croft was dreamt up here in 1996 at Core Design, which makes Tomb Raider a Derby invention and one of the decade's defining icons — the city even staged a thirty-years-on Lara Croft exhibition in 2026. Add White Town's chart-topping Your Woman, recorded in a Derby bedroom in 1997, and the nineties genuinely have roots in this city.
Which 90s tracks end up in the routine? +
The spine of it is usually Spice Up Your Life, Saturday Night and 5,6,7,8, with a Cher or Steps floor-filler thrown in, though the set flexes to whatever your group grew up yelling along to. If there is one the bride simply has to have — even Derby's own Your Woman — mark it on the enquiry and a stretch gets built around it.
What does it come to for the group? +
One figure, handed to the party rather than tallied per person: £140 buys the hour, £165 the hour and a half, and the only line that can join it is a partner-studio room if you would rather not host. Because nobody is counted individually, a big turnout simply thins the share each hen pays.
We are a real mix of ages and abilities — does that work? +
That is the normal shape of a hen do, and the class is built for it. Every move arrives in small copy-me pieces, the trickier flourishes are optional, and the group is set in lines so the camera reads one tidy block. The bride's aunt and her most reluctant mate end up in the same routine, both looking the part.
Do we need to go all-in on fancy dress? +
Entirely up to you, and it does lift the photos — think scrunchies, shell suits, combats and a bag of glitter — but plain leggings and flat trainers carry the class just as well. We bring the sound system and the choreography; the wardrobe call is yours to make.
Can you bring it out to us in Derbyshire? +
Happily. The whole session travels to a hotel, a hired hall or a cottage anywhere from Duffield and Quarndon up to Belper, Ashbourne or a country place near Morley — speaker and all. Clear a decent stretch of floor and we run it exactly where you are staying.
