Dance Study Abroad Programs in Spain

Studying abroad in Madrid through USAC was a life-changing experience that exceeded all of my expectations. Not only did the program offer classes I needed to complete my minor degree, but it also gave me the chance to immerse myself in what I think is one of Europe’s most beautiful and culturally rich countries. The housing accommodations were comfortable, safe, and conveniently located. Any specific requests I had were quickly addressed, which made adjusting to life in Madrid easy. The program coordinator, Sara, was outstanding—knowledgeable, approachable, and deeply committed to making our experience the best it could be. Sara even took the time to personally walk me through the neighborhood that I was living in while in Madrid. Beyond academics, the cultural experience was unforgettable. I explored the many different neighborhoods of Madrid, visited museums, and built lifelong friendships with other students in the program. Every day truly offered something new and meaningful. If you’re considering a USAC program, I can’t recommend choosing a Spanish city enough. It allowed me to expand my horizons culturally and academically. Take the leap because you won’t regret it!

I studied abroad a few summers ago in San Sebastián and I think about my experience at least once a day. The program was so helpful and I feel like I learned so much Spanish. The four field trips I went on were so fun and interesting, and my random roommates I was placed with, are now some of my closest friends. This experience also convinced me to teach abroad in Madrid once I graduated. To anyone considering this opportunity, please do it!
