About This Thriller Hen Party Dance Class in Lancaster
It is the most famous dance routine ever filmed, and it is an absolute riot at a hen do. Our Thriller hen party dance class teaches your group Michael Jackson's legendary zombie shuffle: the claw hands, the head-snaps and the shoulder rolls, all set to that unmistakable track. An instructor comes to your Lancaster venue, breaks it down step by step, and turns the whole group into a gloriously synchronised horde.
If any city was built for a bit of gothic drama, it is Lancaster. The castle broods over the old town beside the Priory, and this was famously the assize town of the 1612 Pendle witch trials, earning Lancaster its uneasy old nickname, the Hanging Town. We keep that history at arm's length and strictly tasteful: it is atmosphere and spooky-glam we are after, not anything grim. Think candlelit-castle mood, not misery.
This one is all about the group looking brilliantly, campily undead together. Torn veils, smoky eyes and the bride as head zombie: it photographs like a music video. No experience needed, because the routine is iconic precisely because anyone can learn it, and we teach it slowly enough that even the most reluctant hen ends up shuffling with the best of them.

Everything you need to know about our Thriller hen party dance class in Lancaster.
Is the Thriller routine hard to learn? +
Not at all, it is iconic because anyone can do it. We teach it in short sections, slowly, and build the group up until you are all snapping and clawing in time. No dance experience is needed whatsoever.
Is the Hanging Town history a bit dark for a hen do? +
We keep it light and respectful. Lancaster's castle and witch-trial past give us atmosphere and a spooky-glam theme, nothing more; we do not dwell on the grim details. It is all costumes, camp and music-video fun.
Where does the class take place? +
At a hire studio in the city centre or near the quay, or at your own hotel, cottage or Airbnb across Lancaster and the Lune Valley. The castle and old town make a great atmospheric photo backdrop nearby, but the class runs at your chosen venue.
What does it cost? +
It is 140 pounds for a one-hour class or 165 pounds for ninety minutes, covering the instructor and choreography. Bubbly can be added at 10 pounds per person, and studio hire may apply if we book a space for you.
What should we wear? +
Whatever spooky-glam look you fancy: torn veils, smoky eye make-up, black lace, a bride-of-the-undead theme for the hen, plus comfy shoes you can move in. Costumes are half the fun.
How big can the group be? +
From about five hens up to thirty or more. Larger hordes just need a roomier venue and a few formation adjustments so every zombie is in shot.
