Online flamenco Cordoba course

Is anyone going to this? Can’t make it to San Lucar (will go in 2025) and am getting spammed pretty hard with emails. Tempted to go just
For a bit of flamenco immersion and hang in Spain for a few days.

Thanks in advance!

I won't be going, getting spammed hard too though. Also it is not easy to unsubscribe to Online Flamenco. There's no way to manage your subscription on their website, you have to email them which I find annoying, they respond quickly though. It's dead easy on Flamenco explained.

Yeah im aiming for '25 in sanlucar. not going this year and just got a photo of foro member bursche enjoying a manzanilla in the square. hurtful!

Online flamenco marketing is pretty shameful and yeah they go hard.

I'm sure it will be really enjoyable but I think the Cordoba thing seems very expensive, and feels kinda directed at novices. Without wanting to sound like a snob "come and see what really happens in a flamenco pena!" or "get a chance to sample the Andalucian culture and food 1st hand" kinda makes me cringe a bit. If theres one place I've had a fair sampling of, it's Andalucia and the Flamenco there!

And I think I've consumed more Salmorejo than English roast beef!

Foro meet up in sanlucar in 25!

I know what you mean with the cringey copy and perhaps being more targeted at novices, but the date and fact its in Cordoba (where i haven’t been to in over 40 years) and opportunity to hang with other folks IRL is appealing. Plus the dates work - kids are at school, etc. I’ll decide today.

That'd mean 14-18 July, hopefully that'll be the case, I'll just need confirmation as I recall somebody saying they announce next year's dates at the end of the current curso.

I always WANT to go, but it depends on what is going on. This year, my house AC broke so I need like $12,000, so no Spain trip!

Unless I can sell two condes fast!

I will plan for 2025 and see how it goes this year.

Hey Richard, yes hopefully will know in a weeks time. Can start planning.

Ricardo, yeah I guess it's probably pretty expensive trip all in to come from the US compared to us in UK. A much bigger undertaking.

I'm still getting messages about online flamenco cordoba course! A few days after it was.... "the final day to register!!!"

I hope its a good course and develops onto another nice option. And later in the year too which is cool.

Yeah I'm hopeful as well. But it's been so long since I've been to Spain, I know it's going to be a great experience. Summer is difficult for me because of my work, and the distance from the west coast of the US means a long flight. I've got my noise cancelling headphones, and maybe a pill to pass out and hope I can handle it. I hate long flights.
