Firstly, we’ll get you on your feet with a simple dance warm-up in the style of your chosen theme. Don’t worry, it’s nothing too intense! You’ll play some dance-based games to get you mingling and moving, then your instructor will teach you a routine. You’ll practice it a couple of times until you are all performance ready, then your instructor will film your routine for you and take plenty of photos. If there’s a Bride to Be or VIP in your group, they’ll be presented with a complimentary bottle of bubbly to send them on their way at the end of the class! We put a lot of emphasis on making sure your class is a lot of fun and you’ll leave with a Bounce in your step!
All the fun of our standard dance parties but you don’t need to leave your house! Perfect for an online hen do, birthday party or team building session. We’ll start with a short ice breaker game, then we’ll do a simple warm-up to get everyone moving. After that, we’ll teach you a mini choreographed routine in your chosen style! There’s also the option of a technical soundcheck meeting with your instructor prior to your party if you’d like it, and we can choreograph a bespoke routine to a specific song of your choice at no extra cost.
Our standard dance parties are generally either 1.5 or 2 hours long. We recommend going for the 1.5 hour option if you’re just wanting to have a bit of fun, or the 2 hour class if you’re wanting to nail the routine to perform again at a wedding or another event (but don’t worry, we won’t compromise on the giggles if you go for that option!). All our virtual dance party experiences are 1 hour.
We do have a minimum group size, but only for payment purposes. Our minimum payment is based on 10 people so you would just need to split that between you if there’s less than 10 people. For virtual dance parties, the minimum group size is 5, and that’s charged as a fixed cost, regardless of your group size.
Everyone! We welcome participants of all ages, abilities and genders! Our classes are taught by trained professionals who will tailor your session to the needs of your group. If it looks like someone is struggling, they’ll slow things down a tad. Likewise, if you’re flying ahead, they’ll make things a little more challenging to keep you on your toes! We are happy for kids to get involved too, but please check prior to booking if you have any under 18s attending as age restrictions may apply at some venues.
Our dance party prices start from as low as £15 per person depending on the location of your party and your group size. We offer a discount if you’ve got your own venue already sorted. Our virtual dance parties are priced at £120 for up to 30 people. If you'd like a quick quote, take a look at our pricing page.
Yes. Just a small deposit of £30 per group booking is required to secure your instructor and venue for your dance party booking. We will then issue you with an invoice for the remaining balance which is due 4 weeks before your event, and you’ll get a friendly little reminder before that’s due.
No, absolutely not! Official spectators will be given the role of cheerleaders or photographers throughout your session so they will still feel involved. Just let us know how many and whether they require a chair and we’ll make the relevant arrangements.
Your dance party will be held in a fully equipped studio or function room in a town/city centre location with top notch facilities (unless you request otherwise). We can organise this for you, and it is included in our standard pricing – No hidden extras! The majority of our venues also have parking, changing facilities and somewhere to grab refreshments, but please check with us prior to booking if you require any of these specifically. If you’ve hired your own venue, we can come to you too, just let us know when you enquire so that we can adjust your pricing accordingly.
Yes! Subject to availability of studios and instructors, we are generally able to make changes to your booking in the days leading up to your party so if plans change and things go a little out the window, don’t panic! Just give us a call and we’ll work together to make it happen where we can. If you need to move the time slightly for example, that’s normally not a problem. Flexibility is our middle name!
Not until 4 weeks before your party! We do need a good idea of your rough numbers when you pay your deposit to enable us to book a venue big enough for your group, but it’s fine to confirm your final numbers when your balance is due. We understand the ups and downs of hen party planning, so we always account for some changes.
Yes, absolutely! Just book for everyone who you know has confirmed, then you can add additional participants right up until 3 days before your booking – There’s always room for a few stragglers! Please note though – Our instructors are unable to take additional payments on the day, so that will need to be made online and in advance of your class.
Your class will be run by one of our professional and experienced dance instructors. All our instructors are formally vetted before we book them, and they have experience in both the professional dance industry and teaching world. Most importantly though, they all have awesome personalities, with endless energy and a passion for sharing their art and putting smiles on faces! They’re all fully insured as well for added peace of mind.
Yes! Our instructors LOVE a challenge, so just let us know what you’re thinking, and we’ll double check with them to confirm. Choosing something that you know your VIP will love (whether it’s an old skool classic or their favourite chart tune) is the ultimate way to make them feel special!
The options are endless, which sometimes makes choosing a theme the hardest part! If you’ve got a Bride to Be or VIP in your party, think about what they would love! If they’ve got a particular love for musicals or Disney for example, then that would be a great option. Our most popular themes at the moment are Beyonce, Dirty Dancing and 80s, but if you’ve got a group of mixed ages and abilities then something like a 1920s Charleston or Line Dancing (complete with simple fancy dress of course!), can work really well. Have a peek at our YouTube channel and Instagram account for more inspiration (links below) and remember that we can choreograph a bespoke routine to a song of your choice if you’d prefer at no extra cost!
Whatever you want to wear! As long as you’re comfortable and can move, you can dress up as much or as little as you like. Fancy dress is HIGHLY encouraged to get everyone in the mood, but if you’d rather stick to joggers and trainers, that’s fine too. Take a look at our Instagram account for some inspiration. If you’re planning to wear heels, please double check with us prior to your class as some studio floors aren’t stiletto friendly!
Yes please! We love seeing as many photos as possible after our parties (Mondays are our favourite day of the week!). Your instructor will be on hand to take some photos too, and please be sure to share them on our social media pages using #bouncestudios!
It will depend on the venue that we’ve booked for your group. Please also be aware that you are responsible for your own safety throughout your session, and your instructor is within their rights to cancel your session if they feel that you are under the influence to the point that your safety is at risk. Please check with us if you’re planning on having a few drinks prior or bringing alcohol with you as some venues do have strict policies on this.
No, we don’t. Unfortunately there are hygiene issues involved with this and as a Nationwide company, the logistics and costs involved in shipping makes things a tad complicated. We don’t like to rely on the postie or pass on extra unnecessary costs to you, so we recommend providing your own. It also means you can keep them for the rest of your day/weekend. Amazon and eBay are great starting points, but let us know if you’re after something specific and we might be able to pass on a list of credible suppliers from our network.
Yes, absolutely! As much as we understand the buzz you get from getting the steps right, our classes aren’t all about being footwork perfect. They’re about getting moving with some friends or colleagues to some absolute tunes, releasing some endorphins, and feeling good!
Yes! We will ask the party organiser to complete a Health Disclaimer prior to your class, to ensure that the instructor is aware of any health issues that need to be considered when choreographing, and throughout your party. If you’re unsure, we would advise them to seek advice from a medical professional prior to the session.
All over the UK! Our offices are in Manchester, but we have a team of over 250 awesome dance instructors right across the UK who are ready and waiting to make your event amazing! So, wherever you need us to be, we can go. Whether that’s a hired private venue in the middle or rural nowhere or a city centre office, we’ll be there!
Whatever you’re looking for! We’ve run all kinds of company dance events over the years, from team building days to Christmas parties, and everything in between! Whether you’re wanting to learn a routine for a leaving do or dance competition, or get the CEO up and dancing at the Christmas party, we can help! Remember, we have instructors Nationwide, so we can also cater for larger companies with more than one branch or office across the UK. Give us a call or drop us an email to discuss your requirements.
Our wedding dance packages are designed to give you the flexibility to tailor them to your needs. What you go for will depend on your ability, who you want to include (just Bride and Groom or a larger Bridal party for example), and whether you require a completely choreographed routine or something simpler. Our friendly instructors will work closely with you before and during your rehearsals to create a bespoke choreographed routine suitable to your ability and tastes. They’ll take it at a pace to suit you, to make sure you’ve nailed it and are feeling confident for the final performance. Complete our Enquiry Form or drop us a line at info@bouncestudios.co.uk and we can provide some further info on the package options we offer.
We have a number of virtual wedding dance tuition options available. You can either book an online class on a per hour basis, or we can provide detailed tutorials and demos that you can access any time to practice as often as you like for a one-off price! You pick the song, we create the routine for you to learn and perform on your wedding day! Whether it's your first dance as a married couple, a Bride Tribe group routine or Groomsmen routine you're after, we can help!
The cost of your tuition will largely depend on what’s you’re after and how much input you need from us, whether that’s just a couple of hours of confidence building to avoid the standard First Dance sway, or a more complicated routine with some fancy footwork to wow your guests! Our wedding dance tuition prices start from £129 for an hour of rehearsals.
Our dance instructors can come to you at a time convenient to you, whether that’s evenings, weekends or in your lunch break! We don’t arrange studios or rehearsal space for wedding dance tuition as a space local to you (i.e. a community centre or even your front room or back garden), is usually a better, more flexible and budget friendly option.
It’s completely up to you! Whether you’re after a traditional waltz or a comedy routine (or a bit of both!), we can work with your ideas to create something special to wow your guests. We can assist with song choices if necessary or provide ideas for a mash up if you’d like something a little different.
Absolutely! Whatever you’re after, if it’s dance-related, we can help! Get in touch via our Enquiry Form, or ping us an email at info@bouncestudios.co.uk and we’ll happily work through your plans to offer a package to suit your requirements.
