I'm going to Barcelona in a month. :bouncy: Do you know where can I find shops that sell ballroom stuff (especially shoes) and info about comps?

Thanx! :D

Good afternoon:

In Spain most people dance as amateurs (when I say most means 99.9) so the web of the Spanish Dance Asociation will be helpfull to you on this: www aebdc.org.

Regarding shops the link from whitin this web is www aebdc.org/donde1.asp?n=2&m1=7&id=10&prov=Barcelona&t=Tienda. I dont know if that is updated but my guess is that most of them have a website you can visit. Dancing over here is quite expensive and take into account we've got a strong euro latelly with respect to the US $.

Having said this mosy shops go to competitions (specially if its a big one) and mount an stand. So it may pay off to go to a comp: do the shopping since you will have places to shop and whatch some europian dancing. The competitions calendar is here: www aebdc.org/competiciones.asp?n=2&m1=1&id=1 (No big comp's till October :( )

Hope I was helpfull.

Regards,

Fred.
