Here is one of our hen parties learning the Charleston basic step, and putting their right foot forward! This post is going to be a bit of a Charleston dance moves 101! Their Charleston Dance Class in London – was part of a rather glamorous vintage hen party in Sidcup, Kent to be precise! We can cater for large hen party groups in our vintage dance classes and the wood panelled hall was just perfect for a group of this size! Here they are again dancing the Charleston basic step with a swivel – the lady in the middle clearly has the hang of that swivelling foot!
And it’s possible to dance those Charlestons walking forward with your hands above your head too!
Doesn’t our Charleston dance teacher look elegant in her dropped waisted white dress? With her hair in kiss curls at the front? And here are the girls again Charleston dancing from the back!
And now they’re learning the black bottom, a move where you bend forward and slap your buttocks then rock backwards and forwards shouting ‘ooh, ahh!’
And here they are striking some poses – it was common to strike a pose in a 1920s dance class. That’s how the flappers liked to roll. Charleston dance is all about the attitude and the swagger!
And lastly, here are some photos of them dancing the mess around. You put your hands on your hips, bend your knees slightly then bounce rhythmically while rotating your hips slowly,! and don’t be shy, push that bottom right out at the back! And get those hips out at the sides!
And here is the final pose in the Charleston dance routine! We can create a Charleston dance routine for your wedding, especially if you had fun at the hen party! Even a flashmob!
