Beantown Camp Overview

Beantown is an excellent opportunity to shut off the stresses of the outside world, relax in a beautiful setting and enjoy immersing yourself in dance camp. (Think dance vacation!) Most people stay on campus, which is not only a great value, but really enhances the complete experience. What could be better than having your room just a short walk from classes and all camp activities? Meal time provides ready made quality selections (accommodating all dietary needs) and some great down time to share with other campers. Meals are also times to gather for useful announcements, not so useful announcements, words of wisdom and maybe some impromptu entertainment.

Days are filled with classes, practice time and occasionally even a little time off for some R&R. Evenings may include more class options, competitions, performances, karaoke and other activities, plus plenty of social dance time with live music and fabulous DJs. The campus itself has a lot to offer with 3 private beaches, fitness center, outdoor volleyball, Cyber Café and pub.

The atmosphere is very conducive to putting your energy into dancing, socializing and having fun! Singles, couples and groups are all welcome. You can choose to stay the whole non-stop shebang or attend the week, extended weekend or weekend!
