Charleston offers numerous romantic activities, incorporating its rich history and natural beauty. Couples can enjoy dance classes or meditation, showcasing diversity in the city's calling card. The choice depends on individual preferences and energy levels.

Take a Dance Class


Want to dance the day (or night) away? While the city isn't home to a nightlife scene that's comparable to other South Carolina spots like Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach, the adult dance classes in Charleston let couples learn something new and bust a move. James and Kristen Jiang of K&J Dance have a long history of teaching couples dances that wow wedding guests, but partners of any stage can sign up for a lesson.

Learn contemporary or Latin-style ballroom dance, strengthening your connection as you master new skills together (and maybe get a few laughs in the process).

Browse the Lowcountry Artists Gallery


Charleston has its share of museums, history and natural beauty. Still, a trip to the Lowcountry Artists Gallery represents a chance to take in fine art and visit a piece of local and modern history, too. Founded in the 1980s, it's the city's oldest artist-owned fine art gallery. Peruse works by the multiple local owners as well as hand-picked guest artists.

You'll find landscapes and abstracts, sweetgrass baskets and jewelry. You might even leave with something for your home or jewelry box—a genuinely unique take away from your date.
