The perfect start to your hen night - kick off those heels, put on a hip scarf and learn some fabulous dance moves! Belly dance is a low impact dance so it's suitable for women of all ages, shapes and sizes (and you won't get hot and sweaty before your big night out!).

Hen party class with Helena at Arch Dance Studio, LeedsAn ultra-feminine, sexy yet classy style, it's ideal for those who are intimidated by the thought of pole dance or burlesque, but want to try an empowering, sensual dance.

Start by digging into Helena's dress-up box for hip scarves, veils and more! Then shimmy and undulate your way through the basics of this beautiful dance - Helena breaks down the moves with simple explanations so everyone can have a go.

Finish your workshop by putting together the moves you have learned into a mini routine - a dynamic veil entrance into cheeky drum solo - to perform together at the end of the workshop. Make sure you bring your cameras!
