About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Lancaster
Bring a little jazz-age glamour to your Lancaster hen party with a proper Charleston class. Your group learns those unmistakable swivels, kicks and swinging arms to hot 1920s numbers, guided by a choreographer who makes the whole party look effortlessly Gatsby — feather headbands and all. It is a private, spirited session with the bride shining at the front and every hen finding her flapper feet.
There is a natural elegance to setting this in Lancaster, a city of Edwardian grandeur where Lord Ashton raised the great domed Ashton Memorial over Williamson Park and the Gillow workshops turned out the finest Georgian mahogany. We run the class in a studio near Market Square and the Castle quarter, or down by the Lune on St George's Quay, or at your own hotel or Airbnb — wherever the group is based, in from Morecambe, Carnforth or the Lune Valley.
You need no experience of vintage dance whatsoever; the Charleston is far friendlier than it looks. Your choreographer teaches the footwork a step at a time and you rehearse each phrase before adding the next, so the whole group ends up swinging in time. Afterwards you are moments from the Church Street bars, ready to take that twenties sparkle out into the evening.
