1920s Charleston Dance

Course Description

The Charleston was the dance that captured the spirit of the 1920s, and it's also experiencing a huge revival around the world today. It's energetic, upbeat and danced to toe-tapping hot jazz. In this six week course you will learn the Charleston and other 1920s dances, starting with the basics and working up to advanced steps, guaranteed to bring out your inner flapper!

Throughout the course, all the moves will be put into a fun Charleston routine. You will get the chance to perform it with the group at a Sugar Blue Burlesque live show!
