Beantown Camp 2010 Thanks and Thoughts:-)

When we put on our very first Beantown Camp in 1997 we had a vision for what kind of week we hoped to create. Beantown has evolved over the years and along the way there have been many wonderful camps, but this year, our 14th, everything came together in the most incredible way to surpass our wildest dreams. We are still feeling overwhelmed with it all. It wasn’t just the outstanding classes and dance parties, but also the fun stuff that happened in between and the positive energy all around. There is so much that happened over the week and here are some of the special highlights.

Karen Turman, Beantown’s Got Talent’s “talent” coordinator, sent out this message:

Beantown is a mere 2 weeks away now, and we couldn’t be more excited! As many of you may already know, the Beantown’s Got Talent variety show on Tuesday night is one of the not-to-be-missed highlights of the week–full of suspense, drama, but mostly comedy. So if you have a special talent to share, start planning your act! This will be a grueling competition to see who is the most “talented” Beantown camper, judged by our very own panel of expert critics: Peter Strom, Sylvia Sykes and Jen Coulombe. So don’t forget to pack that rainbow wig, juggling balls, batons, kazoo or whatever you’ll need to prove your ultimate stardom at Beantown 2010!

Who wouldn’t want to spend a week with dancers from near and far, many of the world’s best instructors, 4 nights with 4 favorite bands, great DJs, a beautiful location on the shore and many fun activities included. If this sounds like the vacation that you want to do, register today!

Beantown Camp Extras

In past messages we’ve highlighted the classes, instructors, music and dance parties, but there is so much more! Beantown has a great social atmosphere, with most campers living and eating together on campus. The dining hall has been newly transformed with a wide variety of seating nooks, plus the food is excellent! The BBQ on Monday night is at the Misselwood Tent down by the beach, followed by volleyball, frisbee, walks on the shore, maybe some jamming, or just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful setting.

Beantown Camp Music

Beantown Camp is coming up before you know it! We’ve highlighted the incredible teaching staff and vast array of classes and thought we’d turn to the music!

Four nights of live music will be starting off Friday with the Cangelosi Cards from NYC. We’ve been fortunate to have them in Boston and Providence, but this will be their first Beantown appearance! Their specialty is early American Jazz and will be sure to get everyone in the camp groove.
