We LOVE Strictly Come Dancing so we simply had to do a Strictly hen party dance class. And it's one word, three syllables: Fab-u-lous! We've put loads of thought into our Strictly hen party and developed a hen party dance class which is the closest you can get to being on Strictly, without actually becoming a minor celeb and wangling your way into taking part on the show (if only!). So if you have a bride who loves Strictly then we know she will absolutely love the Strictly hen party.

Strictly Choreographers: Greta & Julia
I've been campaigning for us to do the Strictly party for ages and I was so excited when it was finally selected to be one of the new themes back in 2011. I'm one of those people who dream about appearing on Strictly (Pasha would be my partner and we would be Len's favourites). So, I decided to structure our Strictly hen party so that is is as close as possible to an episode of Strictly Come Dancing, right from the 'nice to see you…', all the way up to 'keeeep dancing'.
Then came the hard bit; choosing which Strictly dances to include! I chose the Latin dances because they are more upbeat and fun for a hen party celebration. Plus, they can be danced out of hold so our groups don't need to dance in pairs the whole time. We kick off with the Salsa; a nice easy start and absolutely anyone can do it. This is followed by the Argentine Tango which is a favourite of mine. I love it when Vincent & Flavia give their 'professionals performance'. <Julia>, one of our resident choreographers and ex Pineapple Cheerleaders did the Latin choreography. She is a fantastic latin dancer and she did a lot of the work on our Dirty Dancing hen party. She also specialises in Argentine Tango and Swing dance. Julia did a great job on our Strictly hen party. She kept the moves nice and basic but gave our dance teachers the option to add more complex content depending on the level of the hen group. All of our Strictly dance teachers say how well it works for their hen parties which is fantastic.
Next up, my all time favourite Strictly dance: the Charleston. I love this dance because it's so light and fun! The charleston is all about getting into character which I think is more fun for a hen group than technique. Our Charleston is inspired by Chris & Ola's glitter ball winning dance to Bugsy Malone! It is great because not only do we do the signature Charleston steps, we also have a fun bit in the middle where the groups make up their own mini charleston dances and the bride scores them (in the style of the Strictly Judges). It is hilarious. I also love it because lots of our groups come dressed in 1920's charleston costumes so it really feels like we're on Strictly.
I then put a couple of surprises into the party including the chance to learn one of the actual routines from Strictly. I chose one of the most memorable dances ever performed and it is absolute genius - but I'm not allowed to tell you about it on the website as it is meant to be a surprise. Although here is a clue: it includes a bit where you drag your partner across the floor like a sack of potatoes. It is brilliant. (If you especially want to know the full content feel free to phone me or one of the rest of the team in the office and we can of course tell you which routine it is.)
Finally, in celebration of the upcoming wedding, we end the party with a romantic waltz to the beautiful Norah Jones 'Come away with me' inspired by Harry and Aliona. It's a gorgeous end to the show and a lovely cool down for the hen party.
So, that's our Strictly hen party. I hope that I've done the strictly fans proud and that you all love it.

Hen Party Dance Teacher Claire in London

What are your top 3 favourite Cheerleading Company hen parties in London?
What do you love about teaching hen parties in London?
Teaching dance hen parties has to be the most fun, and most rewarding job I have ever had! Not only do I get to have such a laugh with the hens and spend my time dancing around, which I love, it is so rewarding to be a part of the bride's special day, to make memories for her, and make all the hens feel a sense of achievment whilst they have such a fun time in the dance session. My favourite moment of the hen party is when the bride gives me a hug and tells me what a wonderful time she has had in the dance class. The bride and hens are always so lovely and so grateful.
Hen Party Dance Teacher - Sam in Bournemouth

What are your top 3 favourite Cheerleading Company hen parties in Bournemouth?
- Dirty Dancing – the greatest dance film of all time! Journeying through all the styles and dances at the Kellerman’s Holiday camp, and let’s be honest we’ve all secretly wished we were ‘Baby’ and we’d love to shake it like ‘Penny’.
- Strictly – There’s nothing better than shaking our salsa stuff or paso-ing across the room, this class includes so many character changes you won’t know who you are at the end, fun filled and packed full of styles.
- Pride and Prejudice – I love that I get to take my group of ladies back to the Jane Austin era, and for that hour and a half we can pretend to be in the film dancing alongside our very own Mr Darcy.

Strictly Hen Party costume ideas
Yey - you're doing a strictly dance hen party! You have an amazing choice of costume ideas to choose from.
Do you dress up in sparkly dresses or go for the Lycra catsuit - Ola style? Anything with feathers or sequins on it is fab and a few diamantes won't go amiss. You could even have a get together before hand to 'strictlify' an old party dress with a few net skirts and some stuck on feathers & sequins. I once made a samba costume out of a bra & pants, some strings of beads that I got off ebay and some feather boas. People liked it!
The charleston section is also a good inspiration - why not come dressed as flapper girls - then you can even wear your outfits on to dinner afterwards. We also do a bit of Paso so you could rustle up a flamboyant flamenco dress for the bride to wear (again try eBay)!
Hair & Make up - you can have lots of fun doing a strictly makeover on the bride. Whether you gel her hair up into a ballroom bun or go curl crazy - Samba style, there are so many different looks. A 1950's ponytail has a jive feel to it or go for finger curls and a low bun with headband for the Charleston look. And you can't have enough glitter on your face so stock up on the Barry M and some super-long falsies!
Footwear - bare feet or trainers are recommended. You can wear dance shoes if you have them but I'd avoid high heels as you will probably want to save your feet for your night out so keep it comfy for the dance lesson.
Hope our Cheerleading Company costume tips help you find your dance hen party outfits & we can't wait to see your costume photos : )
