Never danced a step? Not a problem. The routine is built around your group on the day, with easy versions of every move.
Joy is written into every step
Bollywood dance is basically a celebration set to drums. It borrows from bhangra, classical Indian styles and plain old film glamour, and the result is colourful, expressive and impossible to do with a straight face. That’s exactly why a Bollywood hen party dance class suits a wedding weekend so well — the whole style is built around happy occasions, and the moves are meant to be done in a crowd.
There are plenty of classic gestures to play with: screwing in the light bulb, patting the dog, the shoulder bounce, the thumka hip drop and the graceful hand shapes that tell a little story. Which of these gestures go into your routine depends on the group in the room, keeping it light for anyone who hasn’t danced before and adding spins and footwork for anyone who wants more. You’ll be surprised how quickly a room full of beginners starts to look like the last scene of a film.
If the wedding brings two cultures together, it’s a lovely way to unite both sides before the big day; if not, it’s simply one of the brightest hen party ideas going. As hen party activities around Dudley go, few others leave a group this out of breath and this cheerful at the same time.
We teach in a room we hire near Dudley town centre, or at your own venue if it has space to spin. The room charge and our fee are sent as a single written total.

yoursWhy ninety suits Bollywood: the hand gestures and footwork happen at the same time, and the longer session gives the group room to learn them separately before joining them up — so the final take looks joyful rather than muddled.
Add the venue and that’s ninety colourful Bollywood minutes, light bulbs and thumkas for the whole party.
Film-song ideas for your five
Ideas rather than a running order. Tell us your group’s five favourite film songs in order of preference and the teacher chooses one of them before you arrive.

A midday or afternoon start leaves room for a relaxed lunch first and a change of outfit after, whether the evening stays local or heads into Birmingham. Bright saris, bangles and jewel colours look fantastic in the video if people already own them, but nothing is supplied and nothing is required — comfy clothes and trainers do the job.
If cousins are setting off from Halesowen, Lye or Wednesbury, write it in the enquiry box so the timing can be planned around their journey. This dance hen party copes happily with eight dancers or thirty, and adding late names never changes the hen do dance class fee.
Applause from the aisles
Half of us had grown up with these films and half had never seen one. By the end, everyone was screwing in light bulbs and grinning like mad.
The teacher was patient with our mums and cheeky with the rest of us. The video is now the most watched thing on the family group.
I booked it on a whim after one phone call. Clear quote, lovely teacher, and we were properly out of breath by the finish.
Should the group watch some Bollywood cinema before the class?
There’s no homework. The teacher explains each gesture and what it represents as you go, so the moves make sense even if nobody has seen a single film. Recognising a tune or two just adds to the fun.
Will there be any bhangra in the Bollywood routine?
Quite possibly. Bhangra is a Punjabi folk dance with bouncing shoulders and big energy, while Bollywood draws on it alongside classical, folk and pop styles from Indian cinema. The class borrows from both, depending on what suits your group.
Could our Bollywood routine be reused at the wedding reception?
It can make a lovely surprise at the reception if you want it to. Mention that on the form and the teacher can keep the moves simple enough to remember, though what you learn is still shaped on the day around the group.
How is the Bollywood hen class priced?
We recommend ninety minutes at £190 plus venue, and there’s a sixty-minute option at £165 plus venue. Each is one fee for the whole party, and the room cost appears on the same written quote.
Where in Dudley does a Bollywood class run?
Usually in a room we hire near Dudley town centre with enough space to spin and wave your arms. Somewhere of your own with room to swirl works too — the teacher brings the class to you.
Are the hand gestures easy for complete beginners?
They’re one of the easiest parts. Each hand shape is taught on its own before any footwork is added, and there’s always a simpler version if coordinating hands and feet feels like too much.
