Charleston Hen Party FAQs

Do we need to know the Charleston already?

Absolutely not, darlings! Our York instructors are the cat's pajamas at teaching complete beginners. We start with basic Charleston steps and build up to full flapper fabulousness. Whether you're a Yorkshire local or visiting our beautiful city for the hen weekend, we guarantee you'll be doing the bee's knees within minutes. The beauty of 1920s dance is that it's all about having a swell time!

What 1920s music will we dance to?

Get ready for the hottest jazz from the speakeasy era! We spin everything from "Ain't She Sweet" to "Charleston" by James P. Johnson, plus all the toe-tapping tunes that had flappers dancing till dawn. Our York DJs have curated the perfect blend of authentic 1920s jazz, swing, and ragtime - expect Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and those prohibition-era classics. Got a special Great Gatsby request? Let us know! Our sound system will transport you straight to a roaring twenties jazz club!

Should we dress up in flapper costumes?

Absolutely, old sport! While optional, we adore when hens go full flapper! Think dropped waist dresses, feather headbands, long pearl necklaces, and T-bar shoes. The more glamorous, the better! Past York hen parties have channeled everything from Daisy Buchanan elegance to full Josephine Baker jazz queen. Pro tip: The vintage shops on Fossgate and Goodramgate are treasure troves for authentic 1920s accessories. Don't forget the finger waves and ruby red lips - in the roaring twenties, glamour was everything!

Is this suitable for all ages?

Absolutely! The Charleston brings all generations together - we've had grandmas showing their granddaughters how it's really done! Our York instructors are brilliant at adapting the kicks and swivels for different fitness levels. Whether you're 21 or 91, the jazz age soundtrack unites everyone. It's particularly popular with multi-generational hen parties exploring York - nothing bonds the group like Charleston-ing together in unison! Plus, who doesn't want to experience the original party decade?
