About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Edinburgh
The New Town was laid out as Georgian Edinburgh's pleasure quarter — grand assembly rooms and ballrooms lining George Street, where the city has thrown dances for the best part of two centuries. A Charleston dance hen party Edinburgh borrows that history straight off: your choreographer teaches the fast swivel steps, the sideways kicks and the knock-kneed cross-hands of the jazz age, layered up slowly until the whole group could pass for a George Street ballroom in 1926.
The music holds the tempo gentle to start so nobody's left behind — real 1920s hot jazz alongside a handful of swing remixes with a modern edge. Sessions run at New Town and Leith studios, address confirmed on booking and a short tram ride apart, with George Street's cocktail bars and the Grassmarket set up nicely for a vintage evening after. Rather stay in? A Charleston dance hen do Edinburgh comes to your hotel or flat across the Lothians and over the Forth into Fife.
The cost is as simple as it gets: £140 buys the hour and £165 the ninety-minute version, one price for a dozen hens or thirty, and a studio is the only thing that ever adds hire. It wraps on a filmed run — pure kicks, grins and windmilling arms — that carries straight into a roaring-twenties night out. Want it back for the wedding? Tell the choreographer and the routine gets built to work on a reception floor too.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Edinburgh.
"Sixteen of us in flapper dresses, kicking away in a New Town studio before hitting George Street — nobody in Edinburgh even looked twice. Highlight of the trip."
— Isla M. ★★★★★"The instructor turned up at our Leith flat and had a room of us swivelling in twenty minutes — my mum declared it better than any wedding she'd been to in years."
— Wendy P. ★★★★★"That crossed-knee move made no sense right up until it clicked for everyone at once. Daft, quick and a total scream."
— Gail R. ★★★★★"One booking and the whole twenties theme was done. Grinning from kick one to the finish."
— Bee T. ★★★★★Charleston Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Edinburgh.
Why does the Charleston suit an Edinburgh hen do? +
Because the city has been dancing in its grand New Town rooms since Georgian times — George Street was built for assembly and balls — so bringing the jazz age back to it feels right. Learn the routine by day, then take the flapper frocks out to a George Street cocktail bar for a vintage night.
The Charleston looks frantic — can we actually keep up? +
Easily. The tempo starts gentle and only speeds up once the steps are in your legs, and every move is broken down from a standstill first. By the finale the whole room is kicking in time, no dance background required.
What music will we dance to at the Charleston hen party in Edinburgh? +
A mix of real 1920s hot jazz and swing remixes with a modern edge, kept at a pace beginners can hold. Titles only, and if the bride has a jazz-age favourite, tell us on the form and we'll work it in.
Should we dress up for it? +
Entirely up to you — flapper dresses, headbands, strings of pearls and feather trims all look brilliant on the finale film, but none of it is required. Plenty of groups come in comfy kit and save the outfits for the evening.
Where does the class run, and can you come to us? +
Private studios in the New Town and down in Leith, a short tram ride apart, with the address sent on booking. Or we bring the whole routine to your hotel or flat, anywhere across the Lothians and over the Forth into Fife.
How much does a Charleston hen party in Edinburgh cost? +
One flat figure for the group — £140 for an hour or £165 for ninety minutes — with venue hire only if you use one of our studios and an optional £10 bottle of fizz. Twelve hens or thirty, the price holds.
