No experience needed to join the circus. The routine is built around your group on the day, so every performer gets a part that suits them.
A soundtrack built for a crowd
The Greatest Showman is a film about a gang of misfits who become a family, which is more or less what happens to a hen party by the end of a good dance class. Its songs were written to be sung by a whole company at once, with thumping drums, huge choruses and moments where everyone stomps in unison. That scale is exactly why it suits a hen party dance class: the choreography looks at its best when there are lots of you, and nobody has to carry a solo unless they want one.
Our teacher builds the routine around your group on the day. The confident ones can take the ringmaster strut down the middle, the flexible ones can try a showier move or two, and anyone who has never danced before can hold their own in the stomping ensemble sections, which are all about attitude and timing rather than technique. The bride, naturally, gets the spotlight moment in the centre of the ring.
If you’re weighing up hen party ideas that work for a wide age range, this ticks a lot of boxes. Grandmothers love the film, teenagers know every word, and the anthem This Is Me has a way of turning a room of near-strangers into cheerleaders for each other. Out of the hen party activities available around Dudley, it’s one of the few that finishes with genuine goosebumps.
The class runs in a room we hire near Dudley town centre, big enough for a full circus parade, or the teacher can come to a venue of your choosing. The room and the teaching come together on one written quote.

Assemble the troupe
Everything joins into one number shaped to your group, with a centre-ring moment saved for the bride.

Circus songs to prompt your five
Consider this a pool of ideas, not a running order. Let the circus fans argue it out, send five songs in ranked order, and the teacher confirms one of them ahead of the big day.

duetStaging a Greatest Showman day in Dudley
Dudley already has a castle on a hill and a zoo in its grounds, so a bit of circus spectacle fits right in. Book the class for the afternoon and you’ve got time for brunch first and a change of outfit after, before the evening carries on locally or over in Birmingham. Ringmaster jackets, sequins, feathers and top hats make a fabulous look, but they come from your own wardrobes and dressing-up boxes rather than from us — and comfortable shoes matter more than anything else.
If guests are travelling in from Pensnett, Lye, Rowley Regis or further away, mention it on the form and we’ll suggest a start time that suits the journeys. A dance hen party with this soundtrack works for groups of eight up to thirty, and the hen do dance class fee stays exactly the same as the numbers grow.
Standing ovations
When This Is Me kicked in for the final run, half of us were crying and the other half were stomping like lunatics. The bride still calls it the highlight of the weekend.
We had ages from nineteen to sixty-eight and everyone joined in. The teacher gave the shy ones the stomps and the show-offs the solos. Perfect balance.
Our video of The Greatest Show got more views in the family chat than the engagement announcement. Worth every penny.
Which Greatest Showman songs could make it into our routine?
Anything from the soundtrack can go on your list. Send us your five favourites in order of preference and the teacher chooses one of them ahead of the class — The Greatest Show and This Is Me both make strong first choices.
Can the bride play the ringmaster in the Greatest Showman class?
She can, and she usually ends up there whether she volunteers or not. The teacher can give her a strut down the centre and a moment at the front of the finale.
Do we need top hats or canes for the circus routine?
No. Nothing is supplied, and the routine works perfectly well empty-handed. If someone owns a top hat and wants to wear it, it will certainly help the photos.
What’s the price of a Greatest Showman class in Dudley?
Take the full ninety minutes, which is what we’d suggest, and it’s £190; trim it to sixty and it’s £165. Either figure covers the entire troupe, and the venue’s room charge sits alongside it on one written quote, so there’s nothing to divide per head.
Where would our Greatest Showman session be held?
In a room we hire near Dudley town centre, with space for the whole troupe to parade. Already have somewhere with floor space? The teacher can bring the circus to you.
Could a total non-dancer cope with the circus choreography?
Not at all. Much of it is stomping, strutting and big arm gestures in time with the music, which anybody can do. The teacher keeps a simpler option ready for every section.
