About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Southampton
In the 1920s Southampton was the glamour gateway of the Atlantic — the great Cunard and White Star liners sailed for New York from its docks, their first-class ballrooms dancing the Charleston all the way across. A Charleston dance hen party Southampton bottles that jazz-age swagger, handing your group the decade's signature moves in bite-sized pieces until a room of beginners is kicking in perfect time.
We ease the tempo up slowly, giving every pair of arms time to settle into the swing before the feet get quick, and the playlist runs on real dance-band jazz of the twenties with a few electro-swing remixes stirred in. There is a neat local echo too: the Mayflower first raised its curtain in 1928, right in the Charleston's heyday, so the era's glamour has been part of Southampton's nights for a century.
On price it is refreshingly simple — £140 for an hour, £165 for ninety minutes, unchanged whether a dozen kick along or a full thirty — with a studio booked on your behalf the only possible line and fizz a few pounds more. We run it from the Cultural Quarter near Guildhall Square and the Above Bar theatres, so the deco mood carries straight into the evening. Give a Charleston dance hen do Southampton a little notice and the whole routine can make a return appearance on the wedding dancefloor months later.

Everything you need to know about our Charleston hen party dance class in Southampton.
What Charleston songs will we dance to at the hen party in Southampton? +
Genuine 1920s hot jazz and dance-band swing, with a couple of electro-swing remixes to keep the energy up. If the bride has a Gatsby-era favourite, tell us and we will slot it into the routine.
Should we dress up in 1920s style for the class? +
Totally optional, but flapper dresses, fringe and a headband make the video sing. Comfortable shoes you can kick and swivel in are the only real must — feathers and beads are yours to bring.
How much does a Charleston hen party in Southampton cost? +
A single flat rate covers the group — £140 for an hour, £165 for ninety minutes — plus a studio if you need one. A dozen hens or thirty, the number stays put, with bubbly a tenner extra.
Can a group of non-dancers really learn the Charleston? +
Yes — it looks trickier than it is. We start slow and build the kicks and swivels in stages, so an hour later the whole room is moving like a proper 1920s chorus line.
Where in Southampton does the Charleston class run? +
Our usual base is a Cultural Quarter studio near Guildhall Square and the Above Bar theatres, central and easy from Southampton Central. Prefer your own space? We come to your hotel or Airbnb across Hampshire.
Could we perform the Charleston at the wedding? +
Plenty of groups do. Flag it to your choreographer and the routine is built to be remembered and pulled out on a reception dancefloor — no warm-up needed on the night.
