Pole Dancing Hen Party Dance Class Blackpool
A pole dancing hen party dance class in Blackpool taught as fitness first: grip, core, and a spin that genuinely works by the end. It runs in the function room we hire on Hornby Road, because that's where the poles are. The full ninety minutes on the poles costs £185 plus the venue, whether six come or twenty-six.

- Your hotel or apartmentEvery other theme on the list will travel to you along the front and across the Fylde coast — the poles can't
Why it's a fitness class first
Grip, core, and a spin you'll want on video.
This is the theme people book with the most nerves and finish with the most swagger, so it's worth saying plainly what it is: a fitness class. The first stretch goes on learning to hold on — where the hand sits, how the leg wraps, why the pole grips far better when your skin isn't covered in moisturiser — and everything afterwards is built on that. It sits on our hen party dance class list as the most physical thing we teach, it is taught fully clothed, and the choreographer has heard every joke already.
The hen do dance class is structured around a spin, a pose and a bit of floor work, in that order. The spin comes first because it feels impossible for ten minutes and then suddenly doesn't; the pose is what makes the photograph; the floor work exists so everyone has something to do while they wait their turn. Nobody is made to climb, invert or attempt anything they've already said no to, and there is no set routine — how far the group goes is decided once the choreographer has seen what they can hold. Shorts grip better than leggings and hands need to be free of cream. We don't supply kit, shoes or costumes, and heels are optional and honestly unnecessary.
This is the one hen party activity of ours that can't come to your hotel. The poles live in the function room we hire on Hornby Road (FY1 4RD), so pole groups always come to us while everything else on the list travels. It's also worth asking about your date earlier than you would for the rest of the themes, for the same reason: one room, one set of poles. If your party is set on staying put at the hotel, the Burlesque class gets you the same attitude with a chair instead of a pole, and the Commercial class covers the floor work and the swagger. Anyone who leaves wanting more will find pole on our weekly class timetable in town.
In the price
Ninety minutes for £185 plus the venue, however many turn up.
Ninety minutes is what we'd steer you towards here, because pole needs a proper warm-up and everybody needs turns. The room on Hornby Road is the only extra, and it's quoted before you book. A pole dancing dance class hen party by any other name — Blackpool pole dancing dance hen party, pole dancing hen do — costs the group exactly this.

The usual ninety minutes
Warm up, grip, spin, pose.
The first quarter of an hour is shoulders, wrists and core, which sounds dull and is the reason nobody pulls anything. Then comes grip work at a stationary pole — hand placement, the inside leg, how much of your weight the arm is really taking — with everybody having a go while the choreographer walks the room. The first spin is taught in slow motion, one person at a time, and repeated until it has stopped being terrifying.
The back half adds a pose to come out of the spin into, plus a short floor sequence so the group is dancing rather than queueing. Whether it turns into a short routine or stays as separate tricks depends entirely on who is in the room. Ninety minutes gives everyone several turns and a proper go at filming the best one. Take that as the usual shape of a session rather than a fixed running order — it gets decided with your group on the day.
Afterwards
What they said with sore hands.
Nine of us, all bricking it, and by the end there was a queue for the poles. Not one of us saw that coming.
I have never ached like it and I have never laughed like it either. Take the ninety minutes, not the hour.
She never once made anybody do something they had said no to. That mattered to us more than the dancing.
Harder than it looks. Better than it sounds.
Straight answers
Pole dancing, without the mystery.
IDo we have to take our clothes off for the pole dancing class?
No. It's taught fully clothed and it is a fitness class, not a striptease. Shorts and a vest are the practical choice because bare skin grips the pole, but that's physics rather than anything else.
IIIs the pole dancing class safe if we've never done it?
It's built for complete beginners: no inverting, no climbing unless somebody asks for it and the choreographer is happy, and a proper warm-up before anyone touches a pole. Mention any injuries in the enquiry and she'll plan around them.
IIICan the pole dancing class come to our hotel?
This is the one theme that can't. The poles live in the function room we hire on Hornby Road, so pole groups come to us — every other theme on the list will travel to your hotel or apartment along the front.
IVHow many people can do the pole dancing class at once?
There's a limited number of poles, so bigger groups rotate and dance on the floor between turns. Smaller parties get more time on a pole; send us your numbers and we'll be straight with you about how it would work.
VIs pole dancing a good hen party idea if some of the group aren't keen?
It's a strong dance hen party for the curious and a difficult one for the genuinely unwilling, so ask the group first. Anyone who'd rather watch is welcome to sit with the camera, though most of them are on a pole by the end anyway.
VIWhich room does the pole dancing class use?
Only the one: the function room we hire on Hornby Road (FY1 4RD), town centre, walkable from the Winter Gardens, the Promenade and the station. It is confirmed with your booking, and for this theme there is no alternative on offer, because the poles stay exactly where they are.
