Ready to try something joyful, sociable and a little bit different this autumn? Our new six-week Charleston courses begin in Penrith and Darlington this September, and they’re designed to help complete beginners feel confident from the very first step.
We’ll be learning a lively new routine to Minor Swing, building it up week by week in a relaxed and welcoming class. You don’t need any dance experience, you don’t need to bring a partner, and you certainly don’t need to think of yourself as “a dancer” before you start.
Penrith Charleston classes
- Dates: Monday 14 September to Monday 19 October 2026
- Time: 7–8 pm
- Venue: Beaconside School, Hutton Hill, Penrith CA11 8EN
- Course fee: £55
Darlington Charleston classes
- Dates: Wednesday 16 September to Wednesday 21 October 2026
- Time: 7.30–8.30 pm
- Venue: Centre Stage, Darlington DL1 1LA
- Course fee: £55
What we’ll be learning
Across the six weeks, we’ll learn a Charleston routine to the brilliant Minor Swing. Each class adds manageable new sections while giving us time to practise and enjoy what we’ve already learned.
Charleston is energetic and playful, but every move can be adapted to suit you. The emphasis is on having fun, moving to music and enjoying the friendly group atmosphere—not getting everything perfect.
Everything included in your course
- Six friendly, in-person classes in Penrith or Darlington
- Access to our Monday Zoom class
- Full class recordings so you can catch up or practise at home
- Bite-size tutorial videos to help you revisit individual steps
That means a missed week doesn’t have to mean falling behind, and you can practise as much—or as little—as you like between classes.
Try Lesson 1 with confidence
If you’re interested but not quite sure whether Charleston is for you, our first-lesson guarantee removes the worry. Book and pay for the course, come along to Lesson 1, and if you decide it isn’t for you and don’t continue, we’ll refund your course fee.
It’s a simple way to give it a genuine try without feeling committed to all six weeks before you’ve experienced a class.
