Looking for ideas while organising a hens party? Belly dance hens party has been a hit with the girls! On 2nd February, I was engage to entertain and instruct a lovely group of girls, friends, nanas, aunts to a surprise belly dance hen’s party. Ashleigh Green, bridesmaid of honour contacted me a month before and booked a belly dancing surprise party for their dear friend Sarah. Growing up together and most of them friends have moved away, working in other parts of the world and then reuniting prior the wedding was a great reconnecting and special occasion.


There was music, entertainment, a dance circle and instruction on how to move all our bodies to middle eastern, oriental and world music. As soon as we got into a circle, a few courages ladies started dancing off each other. Fabulous energy and sensuality in the air. I also explained that it is a tradition that the more we belly dance to each other, the more love, well wishes we are sending to each other and to the bride.
After a couple of music, dance dares and games, everyone was shimmying away. A belly dancing hen’s party is certainly one to remember!
Party Planning tips
Party Entertainment comes in many forms and is the primary method of keeping guests and co-workers involved in your party.
You don’t want them to become bored, then the party is memorable in a bad way.
Games are very popular ways to keep those of all ages entertained. 
The type of game will usually vary depending on the guests at your party.
Prizes as incentives would be a strong motivator for the games organized.
For example: Ladies would like rewards that could include a little pampering.
don’t have to be expensive. It could be a “forfeit “ too from a colleague to give a 3mins head and shoulder massage to a winner!
Very team bonding experience too!
It can be fun and energizing or
Music is another important form and part of party entertainment.
Slow and relaxing. You can influence the moods of your guests depending on what kind of music you play and when.
If you want the party to get started play something with a fast tempo and a strong beat.
If its late and you want to get everyone calmed down and out of the house so you can clean up start playing slow music.
They’ll either calm down or get bored and leave. Remember to play music that’s appropriate to the audience.
A great form of interaction and way to bring in hire some entertainment for your party. 
Setting a theme to the party often engage and get the guest excited.

On the 8th of January. we were invited to Manda’s Hens’ party, organized by good friend and bridesmaid, Stacey O’Dowd. The party was held at her mom’s house, just outside of New Plymouth. We had a dance circle, dance off with all hen’s in the lawn, on a good sunny and windy day. Alexandria and myself were impress with how ready to dance the girls were.
