Musicals Hen Party
Dance Class
Plymouth.
Musicals, the hen-do production: showtunes, jazz hands and a proper production number your group learns from scratch — taught by a private choreographer in Plymouth city centre, a few minutes from the Theatre Royal. The whole cast dances for one flat £160 an hour; make it ninety minutes for £185.
Every hen do has a theatre kid waiting to be unleashed — this is her hour, and everyone else's too.

Why musicals work
The theme with
a final curtain.
Musicals is the theme for groups who want a bit of everything — because that's exactly what it is. Rather than one style, your choreographer stitches a medley of showtune moments into a single routine: a sassy strut here, a kickline there, jazz hands wherever jazz hands belong. It's consistently among the most requested hen party dance classes in Plymouth, and in a city with the Theatre Royal on its doorstep, that feels about right.
Tell us the bride's favourite shows in the enquiry and we'll shape the soundtrack around them — razzle-dazzle, circus spectacle or feel-good singalong. Groups devoted to a single show often go all in on one theme instead: our Chicago theme delivers the slink and the bowler-hat attitude, while The Greatest Showman brings the big-top anthems. The medley, though, is the crowd-pleaser — nobody's favourite gets left in the wings.
It works because stage choreography is designed to look spectacular on people who aren't dancers — that's the whole craft of it. Big shapes, big faces, and a formation that puts the bride centre stage for the closing number. You'll finish with a filmed finale and, if history repeats itself, at least one hen googling audition notices on the walk to the Barbican. More than a few come back for wedding first dance choreography when the big day itself rolls around.

Hour by hour
How the showtime
hour unfolds.
We open with a warm-up that doubles as a giggle — big stretches, bigger faces — then learn the routine number by number: a strut, a kickline, a jazz-hands chorus, each set to a different showtune so the medley builds like an actual set list.
The last stretch is the full performance, top to bottom, with the bride brought centre stage for the finale. Choose ninety minutes and there's time to add a bow sequence, tighten the kickline and film the whole number twice — matinee and evening performance, as it were.
The reviews are in
Notices from
opening night.
"A medley of five shows in one routine and somehow we learned all of it. The kickline at the end nearly finished us off — wonderful."
"Our bride is a musical theatre obsessive and she beamed the entire hour. The choreographer even worked in her favourite number."
"Went in sceptical, left doing jazz hands at strangers. The finale video gets better every time I watch it."
"Five, six, seven, eight — that's all I hear now. Glorious afternoon."
Musicals specifics
Quick answers,
showtime edition.
Musicals-specific queries we hear most from hen groups, answered without the waffle. Whatever we've missed, the form will catch it.
01Which musicals make the soundtrack?
The medley usually pulls from the big crowd-pleasers — razzle-dazzle numbers, circus anthems, feel-good finales — but it's built around your group. Give us the bride's top three shows in the enquiry and we'll shape the set list from there.
02Do we have to sing as well as dance?
Only if you want to — though most groups absolutely want to. The routine works fully as a dance, but belting along to the chorus is traditional, encouraged and honestly quite hard to prevent.
03Half of us have never danced — is that a problem?
Not remotely. Stage choreography is designed to flatter non-dancers: big shapes, clear counts and lots of repetition. If anything, the hams with no technique are usually the ones who steal the show.
04Any dress code for the Musicals session?
Comfy clothes you can kick in — leggings and trainers are ideal. If your group wants to dress as a favourite show's cast, bring your own outfits along and we'll happily play up to them in the routine.
05Is there a leading-lady moment reserved for the bride?
Always — it's her show. We build the finale around her: a centre-stage solo, the group fanning out behind her, a final pose with all eyes her way. Just tell us how much limelight suits her.
06Where does the Musicals number get staged?
At a studio we hire in Plymouth city centre, a short hop from the Theatre Royal and the rest of your evening — the exact venue is confirmed with your booking. Groups staying together somewhere spacious can have the class brought to their accommodation instead.
