... the wonderful strong sense of supportive community. The effort put into the 'ambiance' of the camp is most appreciated.

I realized the room full of strangers had become a room full of friends.

Despite initial misgivings and not knowing exactly what to expect from an American dance week, I had the most wonderful camp experience of my life at BACDS American Week 2010. The sense of community was awesome and the staff were superb. Who would have thought that I could get semi-private piano lessons from George Paul of the Avant Gardeners? With high-energy dancing, round-the-clock jamming and so many new friends, you sure had to work hard to be in a bad mood! I'm already signed up for next year.

It's not often that a week of friends and frolic will change you forever, as this week so wonderfully affected me. I'm deeply grateful to my first fiddle teacher, John Davidson of Footloose, and to all of the organizers, staff and campers who together created American Week 2006!
