About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Plymouth
Plymouth Gin has poured out of Black Friars on the Barbican since 1793, which makes the old harbour the most fitting corner imaginable for an hour of Prohibition-era mischief. A Charleston dance hen party Plymouth channels that speakeasy glamour, your choreographer doling out the decade's kicks and swivels in bite-sized pieces until a room of beginners is flapping in perfect time — no liner ballroom or grand hotel needed, just the cheek of the era and a cocktail waiting round the corner.
We don't fling you at the fast feet first; the arms pick up the swing first and the tempo creeps up once the bounce feels reliable. The soundtrack is genuine 1920s dance-band jazz with a few electro-swing remixes stirred through to keep it charging along. It fits the postcode to a tee — a jazz-age number danced a stone's throw from the copper stills that have been turning out the city's gin for two-and-a-bit centuries.
Pricing stays refreshingly blunt — £140 for the hour, £165 for the ninety-minute version, the same for a dozen kickers as for a full thirty, with a hired studio the one thing that might land on the bill and the bride's bubbly a few pounds more. We base it at our Barbican studio beside Sutton Harbour, so the deco mood tips neatly into a Plymouth Gin cocktail once the music dies. Give a Charleston dance hen do Plymouth a bit of notice and the routine can resurface on the wedding dancefloor months down the line.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Plymouth.
"Flapper frocks, flying swivels and a Barbican studio full of noise, then round the corner for a Plymouth Gin cocktail. On camera we could pass for a bona fide speakeasy."
— Immy R. ★★★★★"We had her come to our Sutton Harbour flat and fifteen of us were kicking in time inside the hour, pearls skittering everywhere."
— Sophie N. ★★★★★"By a mile the easiest of everything we tried and the most fun with it. Beginners the lot of us, grinning non-stop, and the photos are brilliant."
— Georgia W. ★★★★★"Six months on we dusted it off for the reception and floored the room. Easily the best money we spent on the whole do."
— Hannah B. ★★★★★Charleston Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Plymouth.
What Charleston music will we dance to at the hen party in Plymouth? +
Real 1920s dance-band swing with a handful of electro-swing remixes stirred in to lift the energy, so it lands vintage but keeps a beat you can actually ride. Note the bride's vibe on the enquiry form and we build the running order to match.
Is the Charleston hard to pick up? +
It's about our friendliest theme for beginners — the moves are springy, rhythmic and impossible to attempt without laughing. The pace comes up in stages, so a group with no experience behind them is swinging in time long before the hour runs out.
How much does a Charleston hen party in Plymouth cost? +
A flat £140 for the hour or £165 for ninety minutes, unchanged whether a dozen of you show or a full thirty. A studio is the only possible extra if you use one of ours, and it's a few pounds more for the bride's bubbly.
Can we perform it at the wedding afterwards? +
Loads of groups do. Warn your choreographer it's bound for the reception and the routine gets built to stick in the memory and detonate on the night, no warm-up needed when the moment lands.
Should we dress up for the twenties look? +
Purely optional — fringe frocks, headbands and a rope of pearls make the pictures, but nobody's checking. Wear something you can kick and pivot in on a flat shoe; we bring the steps, you bring the flapper swagger.
Can you bring the Charleston class to us? +
Yes — your choreographer arrives with the speaker and the full session at your hotel, Airbnb or hired room anywhere around Plymouth and the South West, so the jazz age lands at your door wherever there's floor to kick on.
