This was my first time attending Beantown and the first time in nearly five years that I had the opportunity to Lindy Hop! Hands down, this is the best dance experience of my life, and it is one of the best experiences I’ve had overall. Five minutes into the first lesson, I already knew I wanted to return next year, and for the entire week if possible. The people involved, from teaching to performing to attending, made this a magical experience and I cannot wait to return.

Beantown is absolutely as fun and amazing as everyone says it is. Phenomenal teachers, warm and friendly people, top-notch bands, and so much dancing! Basically the lindy hop summer camp experience of my dreams :)

Beantown is my favorite week of the year! A chance to forget about all outside responsibility and stress and focus on an art form that is unbelievably joyful.

It is so much fun to be around other dancers who are excited to be dancing. The atmosphere is encouraging and playful and positive. Beantown allowed me to fall in love with Lindy Hop all over again after 20 years of dancing.

An unmatched experience for all skill levels, amazing bands, crazy parties, tasty food with lots of varieties and very pretty campus where I got to live in a dorm with an ocean view. I loved every minute of it and had the most fun dancing Lindy I’ve ever had (having danced for almost 10 years on three different continents). Definitely coming back!

Beantown was awesome. The communal dining and activities go along way to fostering community. The tracks are a great way to meet other dancers at your level and also figure out what you need to improve. And being able to perform regardless of track in a choreographed routine is awesome!

Besides the incredible teachers and classes, what I love about Beantown Camp is the chance to nerd out with other Lindy Hoppers from around the world, and learn and play together! It’s a magical experience and has helped my dancing tremendously.

This is genuinely my favorite event in the country. Everyone needs to experience it. I learn so much at Beantown, and every year I feel I grow closer with my friends. It’s a dance camp and a family reunion. I’m really grateful for this event.

The whole experience is just wonderful! So much attention to detail is paid - the instructors, the campus, the activities, the food choices. It’s just such an easy, relaxing, stress-free time. I can’t wait for next year!
