About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Cheltenham
Few dances suit Cheltenham quite like the Charleston. This is a town of Regency crescents, classical colonnades and the columned grandeur of the Pittville Pump Room, so a Roaring-Twenties routine feels right at home here. A professional choreographer comes to your hen-weekend base — a period townhouse off Montpellier, a Promenade apartment or a hotel function room — and teaches the bride and her hens the swivels, kicks and flapper flair of the 1920s.
The Charleston is beginner gold: bouncy, rhythmic and endlessly forgiving, so even guests who insist they cannot dance are grinning within minutes. We build the routine from classic solo Charleston steps — the twist-step, hand-crosses, low kicks and those irresistible arm swings — layered slowly into one joyful number. The bride is placed centre-stage for the flashiest moment, and the whole thing lands with a snappy vintage finish.
It is a made-to-measure fit for a Gatsby or vintage-themed hen, especially against Cheltenham's caryatids and wrought-iron balconies in Montpellier. Afterwards the Regency wine bars and the Brewery Quarter await your feather boas and pearls. As with any Cheltenham weekend, flag your date early if it clashes with a Racecourse meeting or a festival, when rooms, taxis and our diary all fill quickly.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Cheltenham.
"A Gatsby hen in a gorgeous Montpellier townhouse and the Charleston was the perfect match. Pearls on, feathers flying, and the choreographer made us all look like naturals."

— Rosanna H. ★★★★★"The bride's solo flourish brought the house down. Classiest hen activity we could have picked in Cheltenham."

Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Cheltenham.
Where does the Charleston class take place in Cheltenham? +
Wherever you are staying. We bring the class to your hen-weekend townhouse, Airbnb or hotel function room — Montpellier, the Promenade, Imperial Square and Pittville are all popular bases. If you need a room, tell us your numbers and we'll recommend a central space to hire.
What is the cost of the class? +
A flat £140 for 60 minutes or £165 for 90 minutes, covering the entire hen group with no per-person charge. The only optional add-on is arrival fizz at a flat £10 — nothing else is tacked on.
Is the Charleston hard if we've never danced? +
It's one of the easiest and most joyful dances to pick up. The bounce does half the work, the choreographer teaches everything slowly, and the whole group is usually swivelling happily within the first ten minutes.
Is it right for a Gatsby or vintage theme? +
Perfectly. The Charleston is the definitive 1920s dance, and it looks wonderful against Cheltenham's Regency backdrop. Flapper dresses, headbands and pearls turn the routine into a full vintage spectacle — bring them along.
Should we plan around race weeks or festivals? +
Yes. Cheltenham's Racecourse meetings and its four festivals stretch accommodation, taxis and our own availability, so an early enquiry is the safest way to secure your chosen date and time.
What do we wear on our feet and how long is it? +
Flat shoes or soft-soled dance shoes work best for the swivels — save the heels for the wine bars afterwards. Allow the class length plus a few minutes to settle in and film the finish.
