Burlesque Class Hen Party: Behind the scenes!

Le Keux Vintage Hen Parties: Your beauty is our duty!

Planning a hen party is one of the best parts of being a hen, but it can be daunting; especially when you’re organising an activity you wouldn’t normally take part in for so many ladies, some of whom you’ve never met before!

At Le Keux Parties, we cater every party to the ladies taking part, offering a variety of activity options from hair & make up to fascinator workshops to full pin up photo shoots. We have activities for every budget and can offer week days, Saturday and even Sunday bookings! You even have the option of using our dedicated premises, Le Keux Vintage Salon at the Custard Factory in Birmingham (styled like a 50s diner!) or holding your party at any venue across the country.

Aside vintage style hair and make-up (using our personal brand Le Keux Cosmetics), one of our most popular activities is the burlesque class. It’s something lots of ladies secretly would love to do, but it’s also a daring activity that more reserved hens might not go for, so to ease the nerves, we thought we’d show you what happens at a typical burlesque class at a Le Keux Party!

It really is all about fun; our professional choreographer takes you through a short warm up, then teaches you some basic moves, which are all put together to make a short routine. There’s no pressure to get it right first time and by the end of it you’ll be feeling great, giggly and maybe even a little bit sexier... Feather boas are optional (but do add to the fun!).
