Never danced? Perfect. The routine is built around your group on the day, so it fits the squad you actually have.

Why cheer works

Loud, sharp and impossible to do half-heartedly

Cheerleading has one rule that makes it brilliant for a hen weekend: you have to commit. A limp arm looks wrong, a shout at half volume sounds wrong, so within minutes even the quietest bridesmaid is punching the air and yelling the bride’s name like it’s the final whistle of a cup match. That built-in volume is exactly why a cheerleading hen party dance class turns a polite group of strangers into a proper team before the tea has gone cold.

The moves themselves are wonderfully learnable. High V, low V, the T, the dagger, a clap on the beat and a stomp to finish — shapes with names you can shout, which makes them far easier to remember than a flowing routine. Nobody needs any dance experience and nobody gets thrown in the air. There are no stunts, no pyramids and no tumbling; everything stays on the floor where the knees are happy. Our teacher builds the routine around your group rather than a competition sheet, so the chant can be about the groom’s snoring, the bride’s favourite takeaway or whatever in-joke the chat has been running for months.

It also solves a planning headache. Hen party ideas that work for a twenty-three-year-old and her mother-in-law at the same time are rare, and cheer lands with both because the energy comes from the shouting as much as the footwork. If you’re weighing up hen party activities around Dudley and want something that feels like a team sport without anyone needing trainers from a sports shop, this is the one.

Classes happen in a room we hire near Dudley town centre, or our teacher can come out to your own venue if it has space to jump. Coaching and floor space are itemised together on a single quote.

Why ninety suits Cheerleading: crisp arm shapes only look sharp when everyone hits them at the same instant, and the extra half hour gives the squad time to tighten the timing until the whole line snaps together.

Sideline ideas for the squad’s five

Ideas to get the squad thinking, not a fixed programme. Huddle up, agree five stompy, shoutable songs, rank them one to five and send them over once you’ve booked, and the instructor makes the call from your five before the class. Anything with a beat you can clap and stomp to is welcome on the list.

How songs work: once you’ve booked, send us your top five songs in order of preference, and your instructor picks one from your list before the class.

Your Dudley day

Fitting the squad into a Dudley weekend

An afternoon slot suits cheer nicely: the class wakes everyone up, then there’s time to change and head out, whether that’s a meal close to home or the train into Birmingham later. Matching tops, bows or a letter on everyone’s chest are great fun, but they’re yours to sort from your own wardrobes or a craft night; we don’t hand out pom-poms or uniforms. Trainers matter more than anything else, because there’s a lot of bouncing.

Squads travelling in from Kingswinford, Tipton, Wall Heath or across the Black Country can tell us on the form, and we’ll suggest a start time that gives everyone a fair chance to arrive. This dance hen party works for eight people or thirty, and the hen do dance class fee doesn’t move if a couple of late sign-ups join the roster.

Reports from the squad

We had the bride’s name spelled out with our arms by the end, and her mum shouted louder than anyone. Absolutely hoarse by teatime and not one of us minded.
Head bridesmaid and self-appointed captain · party of 12 · Kingswinford
I was worried about flips and lifts because two of the girls have bad backs. The teacher kept it all on the floor and it still looked brilliant on video.
Hen organiser · party of 9 · Tipton
Our chant about the groom’s fantasy football team got a proper cheer at the wedding breakfast. Clever teaching and a really daft, brilliant afternoon.

Questions · Cheerleading

Cheer questions, answered

Call 07851 966372
Does anybody get tossed skywards like on the telly cheer squads?

No. There are no stunts, basket tosses or pyramids in a hen class. Every move stays on the floor, so the focus is sharp arms, stomps, jumps if you fancy them and plenty of shouting.

Can the cheer chant include the bride’s name or an in-joke?

That’s half the fun. Tell us the nickname or the story on the form and the teacher helps the group shape a chant around it on the day. Keep it kind enough for the wedding speeches.

Do we need our own pom-poms for a cheer hen?

Not at all, and we don’t supply them. If you’d like pom-poms, matching bows or tops, they come from your own shopping. Bare hands work perfectly well for every arm shape.

What will our Dudley cheer squad pay for the session?

Budget £190 plus the venue for the ninety-minute session we’d point you towards, or £165 plus venue if an hour is all the itinerary allows. That covers the whole squad in one go, and the room hire appears on the same written quote.

Where does the cheer session take place around Dudley?

Normally in a room we hire near Dudley town centre, with height to jump and a floor that suits trainers. Got a function room or hall of your own lined up? Send the details and the teacher can bring the pom-pom-free squad session there.

Is cheerleading too energetic for older hens or bad knees?

It can be dialled right down. Jumps become steps, kicks become taps, and the arm shapes and chant carry the routine on their own. Water breaks come whenever anyone needs one.
