While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $61 a day this sits a little under the $69 median for music & dance. It is cheaper than 8 of the 13 music & dance options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in India
- 7 other options in India, starting with block printing and natural dyeing in Bagru, Jaipur from $350.
- When to go
- Workable across 6 months of the year — Oct-Mar. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 7 days, but the honest range is 5 to 60. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
