This year Beantown had the most ever competitors and the highest level of competition. As usual, a very supportive Beantown crowd were there to enthusiastically cheer on all the competitors. Congratulations to the winners and to all the participants!

We are excited to announce that five new ambassadors from the Frankie Manning Foundation scholarship program will be joining us at Beantown Camp this year! Kristan from New York, Justin from Rhode Island, Markus and Trendylon from Maryland, and Ruchi from Mexico. In addition, four of our past ambassadors, Josh, Rafal, Alexis and Cyle will all be back this summer.
We are thrilled to work with the Frankie Foundation for our 3rd year with this excellent program. Extra thanks for the contributions from Beantown campers and the Frankie Foundation to help our efforts to bring back the returning ambassadors.
Please be sure to join us in welcoming both our new and past ambassadors to Beantown this year!
If you are planning to attend and have not yet completed a registration or an Endicott reservation, it would be a huge help if you get your registration and full payment in ASAP! There are packets to assemble and the college has rooms to prepare. We want your complete camp experience to be smooth sailing from the moment you arrive and the more we can do in advance, the easier for us to make that happen.
Join us for our 18th year! Camp runs from June 26 to July 3 with multiple registration options. Start your summer off right with a dance vacation at Beantown Camp!
Get your registration in for one of the fun competitions during the weekend. All levels are included. The competitions always come with a fantastic, supportive audience. Divisions include a nice mix of Novice, Intermediate and Advanced J&Js, Strictly, Solo Charleston and Soul! The competitions are scheduled so that we have plenty of social dance time with excellent live music on both Friday and Saturday night. (That would be the Boilermaker Jazz Band and the Campus Five in case you have forgotten!)
We are honored to have so many wonderful events sponsoring the competitions and providing prizes for each division as well as a special award. Be sure to check each one out for your future event plans!
Be sure to check out the camp forum for ride sharing and other information. This is a great way to communicate with other campers and maybe organize a door-to-door airport shuttle or request a ride from a local. For our local campers, we would really appreciate if you check the forum to see if there are any visiting campers you can help out. It is wonderful when we all work together to make this an amazing experience for everyone!
There is still time to register. This will be Beantown’s 18th year and we know it is going to be awesome from start to finish. So much is coming together that has us very excited! Camp runs from June 26 to July 3 with multiple registration options. Do the whole shebang if you can. There is so much that you will not want to miss!
