I am extremely honored to have received a professional development grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council to attend the 2011 Flamenco Festival de Jerez. I leave for Spain February 22nd and will remain until the 24th of May. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to further my studies, gain inspiration, and network with artists to possibly bring to Portland in the future. I look forward to sharing with you upon my return! And, actually, I intend to keep those interested updated while I am there with my blog. Students, no need to worry, classes will continue while I am away with guest teachers from Portland and out of town!~ Laura
