About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Newport
The Charleston is the original hen-party dance — fast feet, flying hands and a grin you cannot fake — and our 1920s hen party class teaches the real thing in Newport, South Wales. A professional choreographer breaks the swivels, the kick-steps and the cheeky pass-the-hands down into pieces a total beginner can catch, then builds them back into one giddy flapper routine for the whole group.
There is a fitting backdrop for it here. When the Charleston was sweeping the world in the 1920s, Newport was a roaring export town — coal and steel moving off the docks on the tidal Usk, the great Transporter Bridge already striding across the river since 1906, warehouses and wharves working round the clock. We lean into that boomtown, speakeasy shine: the era's confidence, its glamour and its refusal to sit still, taught in a studio near the city centre or brought to your own venue anywhere across the city and Gwent.
Choose the pace of your Charleston — a light, giggly version for a mixed-age group or a sharper, quick-footed routine for the keen ones — and we pitch it to the bride and her party. An hour is £140 and ninety minutes is £165 for everyone, with optional bubbly at a flat £10 to toast the twenties in style.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Newport.
"We did a full Gatsby theme and the Charleston class made it. The choreographer had ten of us kicking and swivelling in time, which I'd have bet money against beforehand. Loved the little bit about the old Newport docks."
— Mabli Probert ★★★★★"Something a bit different from the usual hen stuff and so glamorous. The bride's flapper solo had us all screaming. Brilliant hour in Newport."
— Efa Llewellyn ★★★★★"My nan could join in, which mattered to us, and she loved it most of all. Fast feet, silly hands, so much laughing. Highly recommend."
— Enfys Powell ★★★★★"They brought the whole class to our riverside Airbnb. Feathers, pearls, a proper twenties routine we performed at the wedding. Perfect Newport hen do."

Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Newport.
Do we need dance experience for the Charleston hen class in Newport? +
No. The choreographer assumes a room of beginners and breaks the Charleston into small, catchable pieces, so the whole group is swivelling together by the end here in Newport, South Wales.
Where does the Charleston hen party class take place? +
We use a studio near the city centre and the Usk, or we bring the class to you — a hotel function room, hired hall or Airbnb anywhere across Newport and Gwent. You choose the base and the twenties come to you.
How much is the Charleston hen dance class? +
£140 covers a one-hour class for the whole group and £165 covers ninety minutes. Bubbly is an optional flat £10 for a twenties toast — nothing else is added to the price.
How many hens can do the Charleston at once? +
From a small group of five or six to a party of twenty-plus — the choreographer shapes the lines and spacing to fit. For a larger Newport group, mention it on booking so we set the right room.
What should we wear for a Charleston hen class? +
Something you can kick and swivel in, then add the twenties glamour — fringe dresses, headbands, feathers, pearls, whatever suits the group. Flat shoes or bare feet make the footwork far easier than heels.
Can the Charleston class be part of a bigger Newport hen weekend? +
Yes. It sits beautifully before a vintage-themed dinner or drinks in the city. Share your timings and we will find an hour that leaves everyone glowing rather than wilting for the rest of the day.
