We chose a burlesque themed class and the instructor gypsy charms was fab! Everyone was made to feel at ease and very much a part of it. The poses and moves were easy to follow - even for the girls that have never danced before. We laughed the whole way through as we strutted our stuff! Glad to have done such an memorable experience as part of my hen celebrations - would thoroughly recommend it!

I had to organize my best mates hen party, she had already been on a charm school party and had raved about it, so i knew it was the best thing to do for hers. There were so many choices on themes for the party, but we went with grease, our hen even dressed up as Sandy. We were mad to feel so welcome,and could not stop giggling all the way through. We let go of our inhibitions, and carried on practicing the routines when we went out to a night club on the evening. A definite must do for any hen party, as it is suitable for all women and ages. Best time was had by all.

Just got home from a brilliant weekend and wanted to say thank you to you for all your help in arranging the dancing for my sister's hen weekend. Alexi was awesome, really made us feel at ease and lots of fun! I think some of us found our true calling! :0) We all felt at ease straight away and feel it gave fantastic value for money! The only bad thing was the venue, but Alexi explained it was the first (and last!) time it had been used!

I will be recommending you to anyone who heads that way! One girl has been inspired to take her hubby to a burlesque club for his birthday, now she knows what it's really all about!

Thanks once again a a quick, professional and most of all friendly service.

What an amazing night we had last weekend in Southampton.....a huge huge thank you! Organising a hen night is quite a responsibility but Charm School made it so easy from our first email enquiry, even suggesting venue's in our town of choice. Coco was brilliant....she had everyone strutting their stuff....in fits of laughter! We have had so many people say what a great evening it was as it was so different and such a great way to get everyone laughing and having fun. Such a pleasure dealing with you and on behalf of all us ladies .... a massive thank you for a night that we will always remember!!!

What a success! The entire experience was very professional from start to finish. They were always prompt at returning emails and providing information about the class. On the day, the group of girls didn't quite know what to expect and from the minute we arrived April, or teacher, made us feel at ease and it certainly was an afternoon of fun. April in her relaxed manner put up with all the giggles and laughter as we worked our way through the routines. I was worried that we might feel reserved but once we had our legging and high heels on, we were all up for it. Thank you to the Charm School for providing an activity which you can do in a location convenient to ourselves. I will definitely be recommending it to others.

I booked a Charleston class in cardiff with Jane Kelly who also happened to be our teacher! Jane was fabulous from start to finish. So helpful and efficient in the booking process and a joy to work with on the day. She made the bride-to-be feel special from the moment we arrived and was most enthusiastic and encouraging throughout the class. I loved the name generation task where we all had to create fun stage names for ourselves (I was Ms Willow Flashing Exposure!) and in an exiting twist, Jane even added some Burlesque into the mix. We spotted the nipple tassels and got very excited so she let us try them on. Hilarious!! I think at he end of the day Jane (AKA Ms Janey Jigglebottom Morningside kelly) was what made the whole experience so great. I would recommend Charm school to anyone who's up for a bit of a laugh on their hen weekend. Fab-u-lous!

I could not rate Charm School more highly. From the initial planning stages to the actual class, Charm School was helpful and professional at every stage. Our class was in Bournemouth taught by the amazing Miss Coco Cleopatra. She was fun, explained all the moves and background to burlesque and put everyone at ease so that even the more reserved ladies were tassel twirling like best of them by the end of the class. Not only did the bride love it but the best part was that we could take the moves we learned and try them out in the clubs later that night - the people of Bournemouth didn't know what hit them! If you want a hen weekend activity that will guarantee plenty of laughs make you feel fabulous and glamorous during and after the class, choose Charm School burlesque - we could not have picked a better activity.

I booked a Burlesque Class with Jane Kelly (Viva!) through Charm School and from start to finish I was not disappointed! From the initial enquiry the response I received was quick, informative and professional and I was happy to book the class for a hen do in Cardiff.

We were all a little apprehensive when we arrived at the venue as we didn't know what to expect but as soon as we met our teacher Viva we felt at ease and really excited about the class. Viva was outgoing, fun, welcoming and approachable and from the outset we knew we would have a giggle...and we were not disappointed!

Viva showed us Burlesque moves and her enthusiasm was at an all time high throughout...even when were were a bit of an embarassment :) We used props and music and the venue was just right.

My only negative is that the class went far too quickly and we just wanted to carry on dancing!!

I would recommned Jane Kelly to my friends and I know the Bride to Be and all the hens had a wild time.

Thank you!!

I recently attended a hen night in Glasgow with the fabulous Viva Misadventure. We loved her immediately for her friendly approach and she was clearly well organised and experienced. I now believe that everyone has an inner showgirl just bursting to get out and this is the lady to help you find yours.

Viva put us at ease immediately and started off with a funny ice breaking activity to help us get to know each other better, and then it was on to the posing and dancing.

Viva made it easy for everyone to join in regardless of age, shape, confidence, experience and ability. This was great for us as a very mixed group of family and friends, as it can be hard to find things that are suitable for everyone.

Time flew but we squeezed in a lot of posing and peeling, enough to make for some very glamorous hen night pictures. Plus we giggled from start to finish and there was never a dull moment!

Charm School is a great choice for a hen night, its an amazing experience and a good way to get to know the other girls. Its something a litle bit different that guests will enjoy at the time and remember forever.

I'd happly recommend Charm School as a very professional, creative team, and a fabulously fun way to celebrate your hen night. And when I find a man who is lucky enough to win my heart I will be calling on these girls for mine.

Charm School rocks!!!

I attended a burlesque hen party last month, and everyone had a great time! The wonderful Viva Misadventure was a fabulous teacher and ably managed the huge and very diverse group of hens, and everyone from the complete burlesque beginner to quite experienced had a laughter filled time strutting, posing, glove removing....The time for the party flew by was a great start to the day of hen celebrations. Everyone should have a Charm School party for their hen or any other occasion really!
