I was very happy to be at Beantown Dance Camp for the first time this year. Heather Ballew was asked to teach with her partner of choice and she asked me. I happily said yes for a couple reasons – it was a great opportunity and I could cut my Europe trip short. I’m slightly disappointed I could not attend Herrang this year, but I don’t regret attending Beantown and being back in the US.
Here’s what I discovered thanks to Beantown
- Week long camps give me enough time to meet people and get to know them better than weekend events
- Wear thin socks if you run 4 miles early in the morning with Javier. Otherwise, you’ll get a large blister
- Falcons are badass predators
- If the word “crossfit” appears anywhere in an Outdoor Fitness description, people will not show up because they’re intimidated
- Do not kick immovable objects. But if you do, kick them early in the week so you can recover
- William is great to juggle a soccer ball with
- Tony and Aurelie run a great event
- Engaged students who ask great questions are the best
- Spot It is addictive
- Jonathan Stout makes great drinks
- Dancing to so much live music spoils you.
- Heather’s a great partner
