Can't wait...
Had a great time last year, and it will be even better this year because of the others from the Philly and Harrisburg area that are going.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BTW, Laurie and I won't be teaching there this year because we accepted a week-long teaching gig in Austin Texas.

YET, I cannot say enough good things about Beantown. It is the oldest camp on the east coast and it is a great place to work hard on your dancing with some of THE best teachers in the world. Beantown is the kind of camp where you will find yourself in hall after class practicing with new-found friends. If you can, bring a video camera so that you can make a "video notebook" of everything you learn.

Have fun!
