Why this one books out
Nobody has to be persuaded to join in.
Most themes on our hen party dance class list spend the first ten minutes winning the room over. This one arrives with the room already won: there is always a cousin who knows every word, a bridesmaid with a spreadsheet of eras, and one person who claims not to be a fan and then out-dances the lot of them. The choreography leans into that. Big arms, storytelling gestures, a chorus everyone can belt while they move, and enough repetition that the shy ones at the back are in it by the second run-through.
The shape of the medley is your call. Some Sheffield parties want a single era done properly — one mood, one look, one routine — while others want the session to jump about, a bit of country twang at the start and full stadium pop by the finale. The tracks get settled with your group rather than promised on a web page; tell us in the enquiry which song the bride would be genuinely upset to miss and the choreographer will build towards it. Bracelets, glitter and cardigans are yours to sort out, because we don't supply costumes, props or shoes. Groups who like the pop-star framing often look at Ariana Grande too, and anyone wanting the same singalong energy with more nineties nonsense should read the Spice Girls page.
It suits big student-heavy parties — two universities means Sheffield is full of them — as much as it suits a quieter group of six who just want a good afternoon. Plenty of hens turn up having already done the Peak District walk and want something indoors and loud. If anybody catches the bug afterwards, our weekly dance classes run in the city centre all year.

The running order
What the ninety minutes usually looks like.
It opens gently and loudly at the same time — a warm-up done to something everybody knows, with the instructor quietly working out who has danced before and who is here under duress. The first block of choreography goes on early, kept deliberately simple: a travelling step, a couple of big arm shapes, a moment where the whole room points at the bride. That block gets repeated until nobody is watching their neighbour's feet any more.
After that the session builds. A second, showier section arrives, then the two get joined up and the transitions get drilled, which is the bit that makes it look choreographed rather than improvised. The extra half hour is what buys you the polish: a proper stagger into rows, a tidy ending, and time to perform the whole thing twice at the end so one version exists without anyone's phone in shot. All of that is a description of the usual pattern, not a promise — the actual breakdown is shaped on the day around who has turned up and what they can do.
Straight after
What the hen groups said.
We had a very specific list of eras and they built the Taylor Swift routine around it without blinking. Twenty-two of us, ages fourteen to sixty-eight, all of us in time by the end.
Booked it as the daytime thing before a night on Division Street and it ended up being the part everyone talks about. The bride cried twice, in a good way.
Worth every penny of the ninety minutes.
Half our group swore blind they weren't fans and they were the ones asking to run it again at the end. Our instructor was patient with the four of us who kept going the wrong way, which was mostly me.
Your questions
Taylor Swift hen parties, explained.
1Can we choose which Taylor Swift songs we dance to?
You can steer it, yes. Put your favourites and the bride's non-negotiable track in the enquiry and the choreographer will build towards them, but nothing is locked down before the day — the final call gets made in the room once we've seen what the group is enjoying. That flexibility is deliberate.
2Do we have to do a whole eras medley?
Not at all. Roughly half our groups pick one era and commit to it, which gives you a tighter routine and a single look for the photos. The rest want the session to move about between the country side and the big pop side. Say which you fancy and we'll shape it that way.
3Is the Taylor Swift class hard if we've never danced?
No — it is one of the friendlier themes we teach because so much of it is arms, attitude and singing along rather than complicated footwork. Everything is taught slowly first, in short repeating chunks. Anyone who can nod along to a chorus will keep up perfectly well.
4What should the group wear?
Whatever you can move in — leggings and trainers do the job, and the floor is fine in socks. Bracelets, glitter, cardigans and matching tops are yours to organise, as we don't supply costumes, props or shoes. Anything themed is for the camera rather than the dancing.
5Is this an official Taylor Swift class?
No. It is a routine inspired by her music and staging, taught by our own choreographers, with no affiliation to the artist or her team whatsoever. What you get is our take on the look and the energy, built for a hen group in a hired studio.
6Whereabouts in Sheffield is the class held?
In one of the two central rooms we hire — Bailey Street (S1 4EH) or Surrey Street (S1 2LG) — both easy on foot from the station and the hotels; the exact one follows once the booking is confirmed. If your party has taken a big house or a Peak District cottage with room to move, we can come out to you instead.
