Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $69 a day this sits right at the $69 median for music & dance. It is cheaper than 6 of the 13 music & dance options mapped here.
- When to go
- Workable across 6 months of the year — Nov-Apr. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 21 days, but the honest range is 7 to 90. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
