About This Charleston Hen Party Dance Class in Nottingham
Wind the clock back a hundred years and drop your hen party into the roaring twenties with a Charleston hen party dance class in Nottingham. Your choreographer builds a bubbly, camera-ready routine out of authentic jazz-age steps — the trademark swivels, the front-and-back kicks, criss-cross hands and a shoulder-rolling shimmy — handed over in small, repeatable pieces so nobody is left flapping at the back. Come the closing run-through, the whole crew is bouncing along in unison like a Gatsby chorus line, striking poses fit for any speakeasy wall.
After a Charleston hen do in Nottingham with proper vintage glamour rather than a quick shuffle to old-timey music? We teach the real article — the footwork, the arm styling, the cheeky flapper attitude — at the pair of city-centre studios we run on Victoria Street and Gedling Street, a couple of minutes from the Lace Market and the Old Market Square, or a choreographer heads out to wherever the group has booked. Flapper parties roll in from Beeston, West Bridgford, Long Eaton, Derby and Mansfield for exactly that authentic 1920s detail — the styling, the swagger, the speakeasy attitude — because it is what turns a fun afternoon into footage worth showing off.
Not a soul among you needs prior dance experience — the Charleston earns its beginner-friendly badge because the steps are joyful, springy and impossible to do without a grin. Search Charleston dance hen party or Charleston hen do dance class and this afternoon is precisely what comes to mind. Once the music stops, Nottingham keeps the jazz age rolling: cocktails in Hockley, dinner near the Lace Market or a glamorous lap of the Old Market Square under the Left Lion in your fringe and feathers, maybe a wander up to the Castle.

What Our Hens Say
Real notes from roaring-twenties hen crews who have swivelled, kicked and shimmied with us across Nottinghamshire.
"Comfortably the highlight of the entire weekend for us. Inside twenty minutes our choreographer had fifteen of us swivelling and kicking down one line, with the bride looking like she had stepped out of a Gatsby ballroom. We giggled the whole way and carried the kicks straight out into Hockley."
— Connie W. ★★★★★"Twelve of us in fringe dresses and feather headbands, not one with a scrap of dance training, and we left with a genuine 1920s routine that we wheeled out at the reception. One flat price covering the lot of us made it an instant yes."
— Saskia M. ★★★★★"We were after a bit of jazz-age glamour over the standard hen activity and the Charleston was spot on. The criss-cross hands and the shimmy had us howling start to finish, and finding the Victoria Street studio just off the Lace Market took no effort at all."
— Demi R. ★★★★★"Arranged this as a surprise for my sister and every penny was well spent, with a few of us travelling in from Beeston and Long Eaton too. Our teacher kept it relaxed, kept us laughing and plainly knew her craft, and an hour and a half on a roomful of first-timers had a Charleston fit for any speakeasy. We took the moves straight out past the Left Lion."

The bits Nottingham hen organisers usually want pinned down before a jazz-age Charleston afternoon goes in the diary.
Which Charleston moves will the hen group come away with in Nottingham? +
Your choreographer walks the group through the trademark swivels, the front-and-back kicks, criss-cross hands, the shimmy and a sneaky travelling step, then weaves the lot into one tidy jazz-age routine. By the closing run-through every hen is springing through the same number in time, from the bride to the friend who swore she would only watch.
Can we book the Charleston if not one of us has ever danced? +
Honestly, none of you needs a scrap of background. Of all the themes we run, the Charleston is among the kindest on total beginners — the steps bounce, the rhythm carries you along and you cannot attempt them without grinning. Each move is shown at a gentle pace and stacked up slowly, so first-timers are kicking like proper flappers long before the session winds down.
What do the hens typically wear for the 1920s Charleston theme? +
Fringed flapper frocks, feather headbands, long ropes of pearls and T-bar shoes look the part and come up a treat on camera — though flats or trainers will treat your feet far better through the swivels. Arrive in full twenties get-up or in comfy leggings; we will run with whatever you turn up in. We do not hand out props or headbands, so bring your own if you fancy the full look.
Whereabouts in Nottingham is the Charleston hen party held? +
Most groups dance at one of our two city-centre studios — 21 Victoria Street, NG1 2EW, or Gedling Street, NG1 1DB — both moments from the Lace Market and the Old Market Square. Would you rather keep the speakeasy mood where you are staying? A choreographer will bring the kicks and the playlist to your apartment, hotel or function room, and we travel right across Nottinghamshire to Beeston, West Bridgford, Long Eaton, Derby and Mansfield.
What does a Charleston hen party cost the group, and how long does it last? +
It is a flat £140 for the hour or £165 for ninety minutes, and that price has the whole group covered, not a charge per head. The longer slot makes room for a few more kicks, a Charleston dance-off and a relaxed filmed finish, which is why most of our twenties hens stretch it out.
Does the Charleston hen party have an upper limit on group size? +
Not a bit — no minimum and no ceiling. Larger flapper crews simply get a second choreographer on the floor so every kick lands neatly, and the whole group picks up the same roaring-twenties routine together rather than anyone sitting the shimmy out on the sidelines.
