Abba Hen Party Ideas

Abba Themed Hen Do

If you’re looking for ideas for your Abba themed hen party then you’ve come to the right place.  An Abba theme is such a great choice for a hen party, it really is suitable for everyone and is perfect if ‘you’re the dancing queen.  Young and sweet and only 17’ or 70!  We’ve compiled our top ideas below:

Abba Fancy Dress

If you’re really going for the Abba theme ‘take a chance’ on wearing Abba fancy dress.  Smiffys have a great range of Abba costumes from dramatic wigs, flared jumpsuits to ponchos.  They describe their outfits as perfect for a ‘Friday night when the lights are low’!

Microphones

If you’re looking for something a little more subtle then why not complete your look with a Diamante microphone and sing along to the songs on the hen night!

Dancing Queen

Become the ultimate ‘Dancing Queen’ at a fun Abba themed hen party dance class.  The lessons are available nationwide through ourselves at Sashay Dance, we specialise in fun hen party dance classes all across the UK.  Sashay Dance classes are suitable for all, lots of fun and we have the most amazing Abba mash up mix for the dance routine.

Abba Karaoke

Once you’ve got your microphone it’s time to sing your hearts out with a ‘super trouper’ Abba themed hen do Karaoke activity.  To book this we’d recommend going through Last Night of Freedom who have a whopping 4500 activities available nationwide including Karaoke sessions for hen parties.

Dancing Queen T Shirts

I just love these Abba Dancing Queen t shirts, the perfect attire to wear in the day time or to one of our dance classes too.

Thank you for the Music

The finer details can really make a hen do and paying attention to these can really set the hen party apart from the rest.  Get your favourite Abba songs on a playlist and play them throughout the weekend or during pre drinks.

Dirty Dancing Hen Party Ideas

We’ve compiled a list of our top dirty dancing hen party ideas to make sure ‘nobody puts baby in the corner’ on the hen night:

Dirty Dancing Hen Party T Shirts

We just love these Dirty Dancing themed hen party t-shirts from The Hen Party Superstore.  They can be personalised to either add your name or the hen’s and you could even add the location of the hen night.

Dirty Dancing Hen Party Dance Class

Have the ‘time of your life’ in a fun Dirty Dancing themed hen party dance class.  The classes are available all across the UK, include venue hire or Sashay Dance can come to you and the bride to be goes free on all dance packages.  The classes are suitable for all and don’t worry the lift is completely optional, you’ll still have an amazing experience.

Pink Dress

The hen could wear a pink dress just like Baby.  There seems to be a shortage of these atm but you can buy a similar dress from Bohoo.com, pair with ballet pumps, curly hair and a watermelon, then you’re ready to hit the dancefloor.

Dirty Dancing Watermelon Cocktail!

Make some delicious Dirty Dancing themed Watermelon cocktails.  Follow this link for a great recipe to try, they really are perfect for a pre-drink or all night if you’re staying at a hen party cottage.

Spotify

Sometimes it’s the little ideas that make the big difference.  Get ready with your favourite Dirty Dancing tunes on or even set aside a slot in the weekend to watch the movie.   For the ultimate Dirty Dancing experience why not go and see the show in the West End, London.

I hope you’ve enjoyed our list of ideas for an amazing Dirty Dancing Hen Do and wish you all have the ‘time of your life’ on the hen night.

The Best Edinburgh Hen Do Ideas

Edinburgh is a beautiful historic city with lots of things to do and see for hen parties.  We’ve compiled a top list of our top Edinburgh hen do ideas for a hen weekend to remember starting from day to night:

Sightseeing

There’s an abundance of sightseeing in Edinburgh.  Edinburgh Castle takes centre stage in the city centre, it’s a must visit if you haven’t been before but if you can’t face walking up there Princes Street makes a really good photo stop. Edinburgh Castle, Castlehill, Edinburgh, EH1 2NG.  The Edinburgh Dungeons make great entertainment for hen groups and are another good activity for the day.  Take a journey through Edinburgh’s darkest history and give your hen party a bit of a laugh and fright at the same time!

A Dance Class

If you’re looking for fun day time hen do activities in Edinburgh then a Scottish highland dance class is the ultimate activity. Sashay Dance specialise in hen party dance classes which are suitable for all ages and 2 left feet friendly. They have 20 groovy themes to choose from including Scottish dancing which is a unique theme to Scotland for them.  The bride to be goes free on all their packages too.

Spa

There’s a number of wonderful spas in Edinburgh, making a relaxing detox activity after all the cocktails.  One Spa is the ultimate spa treat situated in the city centre and comes complete with a rooftop pool and plenty of luxurious heat rooms to try!

The Top Bars and Restaurants 

Veeno in Edinburgh is a wonderful watering hole, they do wine tasting and a delicious select of Italian boards to graze on.  Another classy spot and my favourite Thai is Chaophraya Restaurant, they do delicious Thai food, the most amazing Thai inspired cocktails and they have a fantastic view, making it a great spot for dinner.

Cocktail Making

Learn to make cocktails in a classy setting and by the experts themselves at Alchemist Edinburgh.  They have an amazing cocktail masterclass package trying some very unique cocktails.

Afternoon Tea 

Malmaison has an afternoon tea available for hen parties, a brunch menu and also does cocktail masterclasses.  They advertise their rooms as hen party accommodation making it a ‘hen friendly’ one stop shop for all your needs.

Edinburgh Zoo

For a hen party activity a bit different why not take a trip to Edinburgh Zoo and visit their famous pandas.  This is another great idea for the daytime and it’s situated not too far from the city centre too.

Edinburgh is a beautiful hen party destination and I hope this has helped to give you some more Edinburgh hen do ideas. Why not visit our site to find out more about our fun dance hen party ideas in Edinburgh.

Fabulous Ideas – Norwich Hen Do

Norwich is a beautiful historical city known for its medieval attractions, it’s a fantastic destination for hen parties and somewhere you’ll also find excellent shopping, food and cocktails! We’ve put together our top hen party ideas in Norwich, Norfolk:

Escape Hunt Norwich

The perfect activity for both sides of the hen party to really get to know each other!  Escape Hunt Norwich offer a wide range of escape room games from Aladdin to Alice in Puzzleland available in the city centre.

A Dance Class

A dance class for your hen party is the activity to do for lots of fun and laughs with your hens.  Sashay Dance specialises in Hen Party Dance Classes in Norwich, they are suitable for all ages and 2 left feet friendly. With 20 groovy themed dance class activities to choose from there’s really something for everyone whether you want to ‘spice up your life’ or have the ‘time of your life’!  Sashay Dance can also come to you at your house/accommodation or hire somewhere centrally.

Paddle Boarding

If you’re part of a small hen do group and fancy a little expedition into Norfolk you could try a paddle boarding session!  Go Paddle organise paddle boarding classes for up to 12 hens, a unique activity for a Norfolk hen weekend to remember.

Brunch With a View

Norwich has some amazing places to eat and drink.  One that caught our eye was the Rooftop Gardens, they have a delicious cocktail menu crafted with their own home-made syrups and infusions, top that with panoramic views of Norwich and a delicious food menu and you’re sure to have a fabulous hen night.

Norwich Market

For the shopaholic hens it would be rude not to visit the Norwich Market.  This is one of the best markets in the country, all outdoor and has everything from food to crafts and with around 200 stalls to browse there’s something for everyone here.

A hen do in Norwich is the perfect place to create lots of fun and happy memories with your hens.  We wish you all a wonderful time on your hen party in Norwich and hope you found our ideas helpful.  Why not visit our site if you want to find out more about or fun dance class hen parties in Norwich.

Did someone order a ‘Danceroo’?

In a world that’s forever changing, we no longer have to leave the comforts of our own homes and holiday accommodation for the things that we want.  We’ve had an increase in bookings for our fun hen and party dance classes that come to you.  Our fun lessons have been delivered everywhere from cottages, air bnbs, hotels, apartments and in the heat of summer the hens enjoyed part of their class in an outdoor swimming pool!

Here’s our top 8 reasons why you should order a Danceroo as opposed to a Deliveroo:

  1. We will arrive on time, to the given address and won’t cancel your order
  2. We will come to you anywhere in the UK and offer the same 20 groovy themes in any of these locations
  3. Our classes are suitable for all and 2 left feet friendly, so all your party group will be happy with the order
  4. Unlike Deliveroo restaurants our dance packages are cheaper if at your own location too, we do have packages including venue hire if needed as well
  5. ‘Thank you for the music’ – we will bring the music and speaker so all that’s left for you to do is ‘Just Dance’
  6. Our mission is to create happy dancing memories to last a lifetime and this will be the most fun, memorable takeaway you’ve ever had!
  7. There’s always a special offer for our bride to be or main party person going free
  8. If you’re unsure about the space you have and where’s best to do the class just email me on sarah@sashaydance.co.uk and I’ll happily advise, many groups do the class in the garden

So when you’re thinking about your next takeaway, think outside that pizza box and instead of Just Eat think ‘Just Dance’.

Our mission is to deliver fun across the nation and create happy dancing memories to last a lifetime!  For more information about our fun hen party dance classes that come to you please follow this link, or if you require venue hire click here.

We can’t wait to give you something to dance about.

Did somebody say…… Just Dance!

The Sashay Dance Charts

We now have a whopping 20 groovy themes to choose from nationwide for your hen do dance class and many of our hens ask which are our most popular before deciding.  I’ve now compiled the Sashay Dance charts with the top 5 themes for 2022:

  1. Spice girls
    I’ll tell you what you want, what you really, really want!  For the hens this is top of the pops and makes up over 30% of our bookings.  Before looking at any of our other themes available ‘stop right now’ before you’ve tried this!
  1. Beyonce 
    All the single ladies! Queen B has really made an impact with her iconic dance.  ‘Now put your hands up’ if you’re ready to learn a sassy routine, suitable for all and inspired by Beyonce’s showstopping choreography.
  2. Disney 
    Be the ultimate Disney princess and get ready to live happily ever after at our Disney mash up class. Dance around to our mix or if you have some favourites in mind we can even custom your own song mix in advance.
  3. Dirty Dancing 
    Have the ‘time of your lives’ at this Dirty Dancing themed dance class.  The hen is the star of the show as ‘nobody puts Baby in the corner’
  4. Mamma Mia and Abba
    ‘Mamma Mia here we go again’ what better song to dance to, that’s unless you’re the ultimate ‘dancing queen’!  Mamma Mia and Abba come joint 5th in our top 5 charts, this one really makes a great choice for all ages too.

So whether you’re looking to ‘spice up your life’ or have the ‘time of your life’ there’s a theme for all groups to enjoy.  All our lessons are suitable for all, no matter how many left feet you think you have!  For more information about our hen party dance classes and themes available across the UK follow this link.

We can’t wait to give you something to dance about!
