About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Sunderland
By the time the Charleston was scandalising the country, Sunderland already had the stage for it — the Empire on Keel Square, open since 1907, giving a booming shipbuilding town its variety bills, touring revues and dance nights. A Charleston dance hen party Sunderland plugs straight into that jazz-age glamour, no theatre ticket needed, for a riotous hour of flying kicks, swivelling feet and unashamed showing off.
Half the appeal is in the picture it makes — flat shoes, loose swinging arms, a grin no one can rein in — and it is much gentler to learn than it first appears. The famous flying kicks wait until later; you begin on a simple springy bounce that the whole room finds in a minute or two. The soundtrack sits on real 1920s hot jazz, the odd swing remix threaded through, so it plays like dressing-up mischief rather than anything earnest.
Pricing stays refreshingly blunt — £140 for sixty minutes and £165 for the ninety-minute version — so thirty hens pay precisely what ten do, bar a room and the bride's fizz. Set a Charleston dance hen do Sunderland going in a studio near Keel Square, a short stroll from the Empire and the High Street West bars, or let the whole jazz-age show pack into the car and arrive at a place out at Fulwell, sofa pushed to the wall and the speaker on.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Sunderland.
"Fringe, feather headbands and a room a couple of streets from the old Empire — the whole afternoon felt like stepping into 1925. None of us could have kicked in time to start with, and by the end we absolutely could."
— Josephine A. ★★★★★"My auntie announced up front that she would be sitting this one out and watching the coats. Three songs later she was in the front row doing the bee's knees. That is the effect it has on people."
— Bronagh M. ★★★★★"I booked it as the bride's mam and fully expected to embarrass myself; instead I got the swivel before half the twenty-somethings did. Never been prouder of a daft dance in my life."
— Christine B. ★★★★★"We are a low-key, tea-not-tequila sort of group and wanted energy without a big night out. This was spot on — properly silly, brilliant fun, and it left us with a routine we still trot out at parties."
— Frances O. ★★★★★Charleston Hen Party FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Sunderland.
What music will we dance to at the Charleston hen party in Sunderland? +
Real 1920s hot jazz to set the era, with the occasional modern swing remix folded in to lift the energy. It is bright, bouncing and impossible to stand still to. If there is a jazz-age number the bride loves, mention it on the form and we build a stretch of the routine around it.
None of us can dance — is the Charleston hard to pick up? +
Not at all — it is one of the friendliest themes going. You learn the bounce and the arms first, and the famous feet very nearly look after themselves once that lands. It is genuinely impossible to do without grinning, which does most of the work for a nervous room.
How much does a Charleston hen party in Sunderland cost? +
One flat figure whatever the size — £140 for sixty minutes, £165 for ninety — so ten of you costs exactly what thirty does. On top you would only add a room, if you would like us to sort one, and the bride's fizz if she fancies it.
Can we keep the routine for the wedding? +
Lots of groups do exactly that — tell your choreographer and the number gets a clear, tidy ending built in, so it looks properly rehearsed when you spring it on the reception floor weeks later. It holds up well over a stretch of not practising.
What should we wear for it? +
Flat shoes you can kick and bounce in, and whatever twenties styling takes your fancy — fringe, feather bands, long strings of beads. The dressing-up is half the fun and it makes the photos, but jeans and a smile work perfectly well too.
Can you bring it to where we're staying? +
Yes — the whole jazz-age show packs up and arrives at a hotel or a house out at Fulwell, Roker or into East Durham. The Metro makes a central studio easy, but coming to you is often simplest. Shift a bit of furniture, find a socket, and the room turns into a speakeasy.
