Dance your way back to the roaring 1920's
Perhaps one of the best known craze dances, it's rhythm and steps instantly make you think of Flappers, the Great Gatsby and Speak Easy.
The Charleston become extremely popular after appearing alongside the song "The Charleston" by James P. Johnson in the Broadway musical 'Run-in Wild' in 1923. It was danced solo and in couples by young women (known as 'Flappers') and young men ('Sheiks') who simply wanted to 'let go' and have fun! Dancing the Charleston came to represent a generation who wanted to shed the stodgy etiquette and moral codes of their parents' and feel free!
Our Charleston class
Is aimed at both men and women and doesn't require you to bring a partner. Some of our routines include partner sequences which give exciting contrast to solo choreography.

We will guide you through step by step so you'll never be out of your depth, in fact we guarantee that you'll smile and dance at the same time! This class is very light-hearted and sociable and you'll find that you form some lovely friendships as well as a new love for dancing.
