Hop to the Beat Dance Studio

Tony and Aurelie Tye are the owners and instructors.  They teach several styles of swing dancing, especially lindy hop and  balboa, and a colleague teaches hip-hop.  Most of their classes are in the Newton area.  They hold social dances throughout the area and travel to teach nationally.  They also sponsor internationally -known instructors to come and teach workshops locally.

Hop to the Beat is also well known for BeanTown, a week-long Lindy Hop swing dance camp they put on every summer in the Boston area.

I have attended BeanTown twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times.  They bring in great, internationally-known instructors, and make sure your food and accommodations enhance your intensive, albeit very enoyable dance week.  The nightly dances go into the wee hours, and you meet fellow campers from around the world (last year, 26 states and 10 countries were represented).
