This was my first time at Beantown, and it was such an incredibly welcoming and diverse group. I learned so much and had a positively splendid time! You do a beautiful job of running Beantown, you have my awe and gratitude. My most severe complaint is that I have to wait a whole nother year…Thank you so much!

Once again I am blown away by Beantown! The food is high quality, the beach beautiful…Incredible teachers amazing bands! Really nice people. Tony and Aurelie thank you so much for all you do for us. It is the perfect vacation!

I’ve attended Beantown twice, and both times it has dramatically improved my dancing. I’m looking forward to going for many years to come.

I had the best week of my life at Beantown! To be fully immersed in this community all day and night for a whole week was something truly special. I learned so much and will treasure these memories for years to come.

As a beginner with only 7 months experience in Swing dance, I attended the 2024 Beantown Whole Shebang on a whim, registering on the Tuesday prior to the Thursday start date! I cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience at Beantown. Administratively, they were very professional and friendly during the registration process, were very quick to reply to emails, allowed me to change rooms. Everyone was very welcoming and it was such a friendly, positive, atmosphere. The food was fantastic, with many delicious options, no matter what your particular tastes. The instructors were incredible and the more experienced dancers were very welcoming and patient on the dance floor. The after hour socials were also a blast, with many staying up into the wee hours of the morning. I highly recommend the Beantown Dance Camp to anyone, no matter your dance skill level. They definitely got me hooked!

Beantown is an amazing opportunity to learn and practice swing dance in a diverse, engaging community! The food, the accommodations, the lessons, and the instructors are fantastic! I feel so fortunate to have found this event!

Beantown is fantastic. I describe it to non-dance friends as summer camp for grown ups who swing dance and everyone is jealous I get to go. It is one of the highlights of my summer – and I live in Maine where our summers are already pretty fantastic.

2024 was another amazing time at Beantown. On soul nite this year I had the best dances of my life, Everyone is friendly, the competitions are made to be fun and geared for all levels. It is my favorite dance camp to go to and I’m so thankful for all the hard work they do to continue this camp year after year.

My first time at Beantown not only gave me concrete skills to work on, but embodied the spirit of Lindy Hop and showed me the breadth of dancing outside of my local scene. Performing was like dancing in front of a group of friends who provide supportive and enthusiastic camaraderie. The joy and warmth of this community will not be forgotten.

I travelled from Galway Ireland for the whole shebang. Excellent swing dance camp. Very well organised. I enjoyed every second of it if from start to finish. The instructors were absolutely fabulous and very thorough. Food top class. Met some lovely people. If anybody is travelling from Ireland for this event next year, it is a definite must go. You will have a very enjoyable experience, go for it. I cant wait for next years Beantown.
