ABBA Hen Party
Dance Class
Plymouth.
Dancing Queen at full tilt, points and pivots included — an ABBA routine every single generation of your hen party can learn together, led by a private choreographer in Plymouth city centre. One hour runs £160 for the whole group, ninety minutes £185, and the bill stays flat however many hens turn up.
There has never been a hen do where Dancing Queen didn't work — we've simply stopped pretending otherwise.

Why ABBA works
Four Swedes,
zero age limit.
Every hen party has a Venn diagram problem: the bride's school friends, her colleagues, her mum's table and possibly her nan all need one activity that genuinely includes them. ABBA is the overlap. Of all the hen party dance classes in Plymouth we run, this is the one where the eldest guest is most likely to out-dance the youngest, because these songs have been doing wedding-disco duty for fifty years and every generation has its own memories folded into them. Nobody needs convincing, nobody needs carrying.
The routine itself borrows straight from the source: the double-point, the side-sway, back-to-back pairs for Voulez-Vous, arms aloft for the Waterloo surrender. Your choreographer assembles it song section by song section, keeping the steps kind to knees of every vintage while leaving room for full theatrics up front. Groups who love this end of the songbook often shortlist our Musicals theme alongside it, and if the bride's nostalgia runs to a different jukebox era entirely, Grease gives the same singalong joy with added hand-jive.
Book it for the afternoon and the timing writes itself: an hour of Swedish pop in the studio, then a wander along the waterfront with Plymouth Sound doing its best Greek-island impression while the group argues about which film is better. It is the safest possible pick for parties where three generations share the invite list — and a surprising number of the younger hens, having discovered they secretly love a structured dance class, end up trying our weekly dance classes in Plymouth once life goes back to normal.

Hour by hour
An hour with
the Swedes.
The hour opens with a gentle warm-up set to the slower album tracks, easing every knee and hip in the room into the idea. The choreography then arrives in generous, unhurried pieces — the sway, the double-point, the Waterloo arms — with each piece practised to its own burst of music so the group is dancing, not memorising, from the first ten minutes.
Everything converges on Dancing Queen: the full routine, the bride handed the centre spot, and a wall of hens behind her pointing on every beat that matters. Ninety-minute sessions add a second song and enough spare time to film the whole glorious thing from several angles.
Thank you for the feedback
The hens have
spoken.
"My nan is 84 and she did the entire ABBA routine, points and all. The teacher made sure every one of us had our moment."
"We booked ABBA as the one activity everyone could share and it over-delivered — three generations pointing at each other through Dancing Queen is my favourite memory of the whole weekend."
"Ninety minutes flew by. We performed the ABBA number again at the wedding and there wasn't a dry eye — or a still foot."
"Waterloo. Couldn't escape if we wanted to."
ABBA specifics
Knowing you,
knowing us.
Answers to what ABBA-minded hens in Plymouth ask us most. Anything more particular belongs in the enquiry box above.
01Can we pick the tracks for our ABBA class?
Dancing Queen anchors almost every session, with Waterloo, Voulez-Vous and Mamma Mia as the usual supporting cast. One song becomes the full routine and the others feed the warm-up — and if the bride is a Super Trouper loyalist, we happily rebuild around her pick.
02Can older guests genuinely join in?
This is the theme we recommend precisely for that reason. The steps stay low-impact — sways, points, walks — and the instructor offers a seated-friendly version of anything that needs it. We've had guests in their eighties finish the routine grinning.
03Should we come in sequins and flares?
If your group owns them, wear them — 70s glitter photographs beautifully mid-point. Costumes are entirely optional and always your own; underneath any outfit we just ask for shoes you can pivot in without protest.
04Is it hard if we've never danced before?
ABBA choreography is famously forgiving — the originals mostly pointed and swayed, and so will you. Each move is demonstrated, walked through slowly and repeated with the music until the room has it. Enthusiasm outranks technique here every time.
05Is the ABBA finale shaped around the bride?
She's the Dancing Queen — the routine literally crowns her, with the group forming up behind her for the final chorus and every point aimed her way. How big that spotlight gets is calibrated to her blush threshold, which you can flag on the form.
06Could you bring ABBA to where we're staying?
It takes place at a studio we hire in Plymouth city centre, kept central so mobility-mixed groups can reach it without fuss; the confirmed address follows once you book. Prefer to stay put? Given a roomy enough space at your accommodation, we'll bring the class to you.
