SIX the Musical Hen Party Dance Class Harrogate
Not tickets — a throne room. Your hens learn SIX-style choreography as their own girl group in a private hired hall: £185 for ninety minutes plus the venue’s cost, one flat fee for the whole queendom — or £160 plus venue for a sixty-minute reign.
History’s girl group, your guest list
First, the housekeeping: search results for SIX around Harrogate are wall-to-wall tour dates and cinema screenings, so let’s be plain — this page sells no tickets. What it offers is better for a hen weekend anyway: a private hen party dance class where your group performs the queens’ style themselves rather than clapping from row F.
SIX is practically engineered for a hen do dance class. It is already a concert, already a girl group, already about six women stealing a story back — so a bride flanked by her court needs no adaptation at all. The teacher lands the pop-concert vocabulary fast: struts, snap poses, formation swaps, the slow-motion crown moment. Every routine is composed on the day, shaped to the people in the room, never photocopied from the last party.
Hens with zero experience thrive here, because attitude carries the style further than technique ever could. As hen party ideas go it is gloriously specific, and as a dance hen party it doubles as the best content of the weekend — one filmed finale and the group chat has its pinned video. File it under hen party activities that actually get talked about at the wedding.
We teach in the hall we hire on Beech Avenue beside the Stray (HG2 8DY), or bring the class to your own venue across the district. One written quote covers teacher and room in a single figure.
Six stages of a coronation
Warm-up with attitude drillsbefore any steps, the poses — because in this style the glare is half the choreography
The vocabulary landsstruts, snaps and formation swaps taught in short bursts, slowest hen first, applause mandatory
The queendom assemblesthe group splits into court positions, the bride takes the centre crown spot, and the routine stacks verse by verse
Finale, filmed, twice if neededfull concert run for the cameras plus the mic-drop group photo — retakes are free and frequent
What the single figure includes
A choreographer, crown-fluenta professional teacher who knows the show’s pop-concert style and pitches it at real beginners
includedOne price for every queen£185 the ninety, £160 the hour, with the venue’s charge stated once in writing — headcount changes cost nothing extra
flatThe throne room, booked by usthe Beech Avenue hall goes in the diary and into the same written figure — no whip-round, no surprises later
sortedThe concert footageyour phones capture the finale run and the coronation photo — all of it belongs to the group
yoursNot included, deliberately: regalia. Crowns, chokers and anything glittering are the group’s own quest — sourcing six queens’ worth of sparkle is reliably the second-best hour of the planning.
In SIX the glare is half the choreography, and a glare worth filming needs practice — the first reason we crown ninety as the length to book. Formation swaps can be drilled in short bursts with applause in between, every queen settles properly into her court position, and the bride’s centre-crown moment is rehearsed rather than rushed.
Five numbers claim the throne
Ex-Wivesthe opener — six intros, six poses, instant girl group
heir apparentSixthe finale anthem — built for a full-room formation finish
rightful rulerDon’t Lose Ur Headflirty, cheeky, and the mid-tempo mercy some groups need
court favouriteGet Downthe bounce number — greenest-sleeved crowd-pleaser in the score
pretenderNo Waysass at maximum — demands a bride who can point dramatically
outside claimContenders for the crown, not a promised programme — the teacher decides on the day, judging the room like a privy council. State a favourite in the form and it enters the succession with an advantage.
Where the coronation fits the weekend
The classic shape: spa morning, SIX class mid-afternoon while energy is high, then a costume change before the queendom processes into the Montpellier Quarter for the evening. Groups arrive from York, Knaresborough and Wetherby easily — Beech Avenue is one short cab ride from the station, close enough to walk off the adrenaline afterwards through Valley Gardens.
Bring trainers or steady heels, water for the court, and the crowns your group chat has inevitably already ordered. We supply the teacher, the plan and the throne-room energy.
Verdicts handed down
Eight of us had seen the show, two hadn’t, and within twenty minutes you couldn’t tell which was which. The attitude coaching alone was worth the booking.
My cousin queued months for tour seats; I got us the next best thing without leaving Yorkshire. Watching the bride do her mic-drop pose still makes me laugh.
One figure on paper covered teacher and room together, which meant zero spreadsheet stress for me. The class itself was pure concert energy from the first count.
We travelled over from York for it and the hall was easier to find than most bars. Six formations, one very smug group photo, no regrets whatsoever.
Divorced, beheaded, answered
Is this SIX tour tickets or a dance class? +
A dance class, every time — we sell no theatre seats and have no connection to the tour. What you book is a private hen party dance class in the show’s style: your group learns queen-grade choreography instead of watching somebody else perform it.
Do we each get assigned a queen to play? +
If the group wants that, gladly — six roles divide nicely between friendship factions, and everyone else forms the queendom. The teacher keeps it loose: characters are a costume decision, the choreography works whoever claims which crown.
What should everyone wear to a SIX themed class? +
Whatever the group decides — outfits, crowns and sparkle are all yours to source, since nothing gets handed out by us. Space-buns and studded gloves appear regularly. Underneath the look, wear shoes you can genuinely move in.
Can more than six hens join the queens? +
Of course — the fee is flat for the whole group, so sixteen dancers cost the same as six. Bigger parties simply get bigger formations, and the finale looks all the better for the extra crowd.
Which part of Harrogate hosts the SIX class? +
The hall we hire sits on Beech Avenue beside the Stray (HG2 8DY), ten minutes from the Montpellier Quarter bars — or the teacher comes to your own venue if you’ve booked somewhere with dancing room.
Does SIX choreography suit hens who never dance? +
Completely. The show’s language is pop-concert, not ballet — sharp poses, struts and formation changes that a hen with zero experience picks up in minutes. The routine is composed on the day at the level of the actual room.
