Advanced Spanish Class Interest

Chalkboard Productions is considering starting a series of advanced Spanish classes led by native Spanish speaker Ángel Benito (de Barcelona). We took a survey of 234 foreign language teachers and found that 61% feel varying degrees of inadequacy with their fluency in the language they teach. We'd like to know if there are teachers of Spanish who would like to attend an online advanced Spanish class to increase their fluency.
