If you're going to learn to really be smooth with the stick, you should read up on heel and toe downshifting, and put that into practice everywhere you go.
I practiced heel and toe technique everywhere for weeks before my first track day, and it made a huge difference. The ability to shift smoothly is great, but it's immensely rewarding to also add the ability to smoothly transition from braking to accelerating. Nothing better than rowing down through the gears under braking, ensuring the perfect rev-matched downshifts so you're ready to smoothly accelerate. Helps keep the car balanced in the corners too, since you're not upsetting the chassis with abrupt brake/gas transitions.
