Beantown Camp


Join a phenomenal gathering of instructors, live music, DJs and dancers from across the country and beyond! Beantown Camp is designed as an all-inclusive vacation—a dance immersion. It is amazing what a week can do for your dancing and your spirit! For those who would like to attend but are not able to do the complete experience, there are multiple options to choose from. Singles, couples and groups are all very welcome.

Shut off the stresses of the outside world, relax in a beautiful setting, and enjoy yourself at dance camp. Beantown has always been designed as a Lindy Hop vacation, and now would be an excellent time for a vacation! Beantown provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in classes, history, social dancing, fun activities, and all the joy this dance brings us. Although there are several options for attending, doing the week or whole shebang provides the full unique Beantown experience. Every day brings something different, and you won’t want to miss any of them!

Most campers stay on campus, which is not only a great value, it enhances the complete experience, and is the perfect way to relax and concentrate on having an amazing week. There are a variety of housing options to choose from for singles, doubles and groups. Once you’ve arrived, there is no need for a car, as all the facilities are within walking distance. Also no need to put time or thought into making food plans. Just show up at the dining hall at meal time to choose among the many options, with special dietary needs accommodated. The food is excellent, and the dining staff are friendly, helpful, and prepared for hungry campers.

Days are filled with classes, presentations, other specialties, practice time, and even time off for some R&R. Evenings include plenty of social dancing as well as a variety of other fun activities and entertainment. The campus itself has a lot to offer with three private beaches, fitness center, outdoor volleyball, and other amenities.

Each year we take what we learned from past experience, plus feedback that received, to make some new modifications for the next camp. As always, our aim is to provide a joyful, stress free, amazing week of dancing, fantastic classes, social activities, camaraderie and fun. An interactive and engaging Lindy Hop vacation!
