About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Bournemouth
Nothing bottles the roaring twenties quite like the Charleston, and a Charleston dance hen party Bournemouth session hands your group an hour of swivelling feet, flicking kicks, criss-crossing hands and pure jazz-age fizz. It is playful, bouncy and genuinely impossible to attempt with a straight face — the dance of speakeasies, flappers and a decade that refused to stand still. All it asks is springy knees, a couple of kicks and a dash of front; no partner and no experience come into it.
The fit is a happy one: as the twenties roared, Bournemouth threw open the Pavilion in 1929, an Art Deco theatre whose sprung ballroom floor has been catching the light on Westover Road ever since, so jazz-age glamour is stitched into the resort's own past. We carry that spirit to your door — a hired room near the Square, a hotel function space, or a seafront apartment over towards Westbourne or Boscombe. The swivel, the kicks and the hand-crosses are taught unhurried, then built up into a flapper-worthy routine the whole group lands together.
A Charleston dance hen do Bournemouth runs on one flat, upfront price — £140 for a sixty-minute class or £165 for a ninety-minute one, covering the entire group rather than a tally of heads, so extra flappers turning up on the day add not a penny. If a proper twenties-style toast appeals before you sweep out, group fizz can be added for £10.

What Our Hens Say
Charleston hen parties we have taught across Bournemouth.

— Clementine Ross ★★★★★"Booked it for a twenties-themed do in a seafront apartment and it made the whole party. Even the aunties were doing the hand-crosses. The vintage photos came out beautifully."

Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Bournemouth.
Do we need experience or a partner for the Charleston? +
Not a bit. The full hour is a group affair — nobody is partnered off, and every step is introduced from nothing. The teacher eases the swivel and the kicks right down and pitches the pace at the least confident hen, so even the ones swearing blind they cannot dance are kicking in time and giggling before long.
Where does the Charleston class run in Bournemouth? +
At a venue of your choosing. We come to a hired room near the Square, a hotel function space, or a seafront apartment, and we travel out to Westbourne, Boscombe, Southbourne and along the Dorset coast. Give us the postcode on booking and the instructor arrives with speaker, music and everything needed.
How does the pricing work? +
One fixed sum takes care of the whole hen party — £140 for sixty minutes or £165 for ninety — with nothing worked out per person. The figure is set from the off, whatever the turnout, so late arrivals never nudge the cost. Group fizz can be added for £10 if a toast is on the cards.
Can we make it a full 1920s themed party? +
Absolutely, and many groups do. Fringed flapper dresses, feather headbands, pearls and a splash of red lipstick all suit the dance beautifully and lift the photos no end. You bring the costumes and the sparkle; we bring the steps, the music and the choreography to match.
What should everyone wear? +
Something you can kick and swivel in, with a flat or low shoe that lets your feet turn easily — a soft-soled pump or a character shoe is ideal. Fringe and feathers add to the fun, but comfort comes first, and there is nothing you must buy to join in.
How far ahead should we book? +
Coastal weekends in season book up quickly, so an early enquiry is best, though it is always worth asking at short notice too. Send your date, rough numbers and the part of Bournemouth you will be in, and a flat-rate quote will be with you within one working day.
