Welcome!
December 3 - 6
4:00pm Thurs — 1:00pm Sun
Whether you’re a returning dancer to SEABECK camp, or A ‘first timer’ (we love you newcomers), we welcome you with warmth, joy, star-dust and dance!
Launch this holiday season with a long weekend of dance and community amidst an old-growth forest, under the twinkling lights of our dance floors, cocooned in warm, cozy accommodations, sharing family-style meals — all accompanied by the “shoosh-shoosh,” of the lapping waves on the Hood Canal.
Flow through a variety of dance styles and music: West Coast Swing, Blues, Cha Cha Cha, Rhumba, East Coast Swing, Turns within Turns Waltz, One-Step-Walking-Blues, Foxtrot, Nightclub Two Step and more.
And…We own the whole camp!
We’re loving scheduling the classes on the large floors, slumbering in the best rooms and making as much noise as we like at lunch. And dinner. And breakfast.
“The camaraderie and overall atmosphere was amazing — welcoming, generous, and full of joy.”
Get ready to Blast-off on a dance adventure!

A Peek into classes...
“The friendliness of the whole community was incredible.”
*SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY:
If you’re planning to attend the weekend’s West Coast and / or Balboa classes, we have Foundations Refresher Clinics for you!
This will kick off the weekend, right after check-in on Thursday, from 4:45 – 5:45 PM, before our first meal together at camp.
The intention is to polish up your foundations, so that the weekend specialty classes can hit the floor dancing, without having to slow down to review the basics.
As Clint Eastwood would say, “Make my day.”
Welcome to the oscars!
“The Saturday Night Pines Party is always a delight.”
Lights, camera, action... seabeck!
“Lights, Cameras, Action…Seabeck!”
Come ready for the paparazzi to snap a photo of you on the red carpet. It is the Night at the Oscars and you’ve been preparing since your hit movie made Number One at the box office.
Of course, you are at the height of glam, ready for your close-up. Glitz. Elegance. Sparkle. Sophistication. It’s YOU, baby. You’ve made it BIG.
Perhaps you’ll attend the evening as your alter ego — Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor, Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, Rita Hayworth, Lucy Liu or John Wayne.
Perhaps you are embodying your favorite character from your favorite movie — The Princess Bride, Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, Superman, Cher in Moonstruck, the Pink Panther, Scarlett O’Hara, Moana, Edward Scissorhands, Young Frankenstein or Nemo.
Come ready to be celebrated with champagne and discuss your vast movie career.
Come ready for Your Night at the Oscars!
Anything that has you, the Star, shining brightly!
Always a fan favorite, the costume cocktail party, will be hosted by Gator Boy Productions together with Left Foot Boogie. Come prepared to sign autographs and dance!
