The art of Burlesque dancing  was hugely popular in the 50s. With its seductive yet classy and good humoured style there is currently a burlesque resurgence sweeping the UK and a Brighton based hen party is the perfect time to lace up those corsets and don the opera gloves and give it a go.

You could book a fun weekend package with hotels, breakfast, club entries and of course the Burlesque experience. This will cost about £200 a person and there are a number of companies that offer this service. Alternatively book the Burlesque experience on its own, a ballpark price for this is about £25 a person.

What can you expect from you Brighton Burlesque experience? Depending on where you go the structure of the lessons will change slightly but most will offer something like this:

• The private lessons usually run for 90 minutes

• A  lesson is tailored to a group size of about 10 partiers. Many companies offer the hen a free place if there are sufficient numbers

• Loads of city centre venues so you can  go straight from the experience to the clubs to try out your new moves

• You may be asked to wear appropriate footwear, this may be some seductive yet sturdy heels.

• There will be plenty of props and accessories to use in your dance routines

• The nature of Burlesque is all about what is implied but not revealed. So no nudity is involved.

• Most providers tailor the lesson so that the climax is a dance routine involving the whole group with the hen taking the starring role

• Finish the lesson with a group photo and a bottle of bubbly to get the night started.

So if you are looking for a Brighton Hen Experience that offers a light hearted and great fun event that you may even be able to use out on the town, book a Burlesque lesson today.
