Do you have experience studying flamenco abroad?

. . . or are you looking for some tips for your own upcoming travels? This is a space for questions, answers, and anything in between (whatever that might look like).

This "study abroad" board is based on the suggestion of a friend who recently spent three months in Spain studying dance and who found that, even with the most "up-to-date" guide books, buildings were not where they were said to be and prices were sometimes twice as much (or more) as what the guides listed.

So: have you studied abroad recently? We would all love to hear your experience. Was what the guidebooks told you to expect indeed there? What did you find that was unexpected? How were the classes, tablaos, studios and teachers you encountered?

It seems to me that a useful way to organize this kind of commentary would be to "start a new topic" (click the button above), and title it (in the "Subject" line) with the city you went to and what you studied (dance, guitar, singing, etc.). That's just me, though--you all do what you want.

As this conversation grows, we can add new boards and organize as need be. As always, do let me know if you have any other suggestions for the forum or the site. (For example, by responding to this post).

Best,
Andy
