Hop to the Beat News
April 25, 2022
April has been chugging along, and it’s finally nice to see some flowering bushes and trees, and other actual signs that spring is upon us! Beantown registration opened just a little over two weeks ago. Our first day went very well, which kept us busy a long time, however, no moments of panic. That was a relief! We’re thrilled to see a wide range of first time and returning campers from throughout the U.S. and beyond.
The end of April also brings the end of the Early Bird prices. If you would like to take advantage, please register by Saturday, April 30 before the prices change. If you have students, friends, or know other dancers who might be interested, we’d very much appreciate your help with spreading the word.
A big component of our week at Beantown has always been the classes. Immersing yourself in Lindy Hop, along with a diverse set of other options, is a fantastic opportunity to work on your dancing, gather new insights, make new dance friends, while also having fun. This year there will be some changes to the format. Check out the classes page for details.
Excellent classes are in need of wonderful instructors, and Beantown’s got that! They’re all excited and enthusiastic for a fantastic week, and we are as well. Check out this incredible line-up!

Happy Dancing,
Aurelie & Tony
