I think it depends hugely on the individual. Our local community has an 
example that has left me amazed - a male who was "promising" before a BA 
trip, and vastly (and it seems permanently) improved in one short trip. 
Then again, another who is seemingly unmarked in any way.

As for perceptions, I had one breathless local female swooning over my 
"fresh from BA" dancing after my first trip.  Only problem was - I was a 
crap dancer before that trip - and an even more crap dancer when I 
returned, struggling with as-yet-undigested changes which would perhaps, 
one day,  change the many faults I still had.  (Alright then - still 
have. Dammit.)
