“Beantown is a wonderful place: Incredible instruction, bands that swing hard, a kind community of dancers and the ocean for a dip after hours of sweating. I always return home feeling completely inspired and rejuvenated.”
“The teachers are fantastic, the music is phenomenal, and the social dancing is wonderful, but my favorite part of the week was mealtimes. It’s special to be able to sit with people of all dance levels and get to know them off of the dance floor. A great opportunity to build community in the lindy hop scene!”
“Dance workshops in the morning & afternoon, fantastic meals throughout the day, fun early evening activities and then Swing dances to great live bands every night (and everything located on a beautiful campus): ideal swing-dance vacation! Been going every year since 2014 and will continue for as long as I’m physically capable.”
“I really love the opportunity to do a full week. Thank you!!” “Beantown is such an amazing event - great bands, great instructors, beautiful campus, lots of other activities to keep us busy. I love it that they have awesome food options. Every. Single. Meal. Seriously, it’s awesome that so many attendees are taken care of.”
“Beantown is a wonderfully fun learning experience! I was too intimidated as a newbie dancer to attend, but after seeing what it’s like, I shouldn’t have been. It’s perfect for all levels!”
“Beantown is one of the rare places where I can fully immerse myself in dance and friends for a week. It’s somehow always exactly what I need. As a dancer. As a person. You can come as you are and Beantown will scoop you right up.”
“I love the atmosphere there. I’m happy to see everybody, and feel welcomed by everybody. It’s a wonderful island of tranquility and goodwill in turbulent times. Oh, and it always improves my dancing.”
“Everything was amazing as always; the bands, the instructors, the food, the venue, the company. Beantown is the perfect place to get away from your daily routine and be immersed in a joyful world of music and dancing. It is always hard to leave that magical world. Looking forward to next year!”
“Wonderful teachers fantastic food glorious beach…an amazing week! Best camp in the world!”
“This is a world class event! From the dining hall staff and the food (daily ice cream floats!), to the bands, the instructors, the organizers, and all the dancers! Beantown is a welcoming place to learn to dance, make new friends, bring the swing community together. The location is amazing, the ocean side campus is relaxing and soothing. It’s a delight to dip your feet into the water when your brain is filled to capacity with syncopations! The worst thing about Beantown is having to leave.”
“Beantown camp is simply amazing. It is the ultimate retreat and vacation for lindy hop dancers!”
