Once again with the videos

Yesterday there was another evening to fill with classes that has been cancel. Not all needed to bring the flamenco clothes. I did. It started with an early video class (watching flamenco in video/dvd). After that was meant to be the class of tuesdays. When I came Some already were in the studio: the snobish woman (I didn't miss her) and her daughter, the assistant, and another one from medium level sunday classes.There was a weird light near the mirrors which I never seen before. The DVD machine was already working and there was a part of Marina Heredia. I said hello to all. The one from medium level didn't even try to look. The assistant answered. The snobish looked at me in a shocked way. Only in the second time she did a favore to answer (b#$@). Her daughter in her way being like mother and didn't answer. After I was putting my stuff and took some papers I found for Dias de Flamenco I went fast to the ladies room. I didn't even try to change. It was pretty late and I still wasn't sure if there will be a next class later this evening. On the way I saw the woman who looks like a man from beginners. She at least ain't snobish and has no problem to say hello. When I got back she made herself a place to seat. The class has started and Neta started to talk. In the middle of talks the man from the medium level classes got in with another girl from those classes. He said that now it's time to start. They sat behind the assistant. Three of them made some stops at class for talking. Neta started again because of the lates. This time it was watching mostly videos around solea and solea por bulria. After the videos has started came also an old woman from medium level classes. She apologized for the late and sat. Quite in the start Neta showed us a solea por buleria danced by Joaquin Grilo. That pretty good most of time. When his part over at class the beginner who looks like a man said he's a hunk. I was pretty shocked. I was sure that she isn't interested in men. And she was busy in something... Writing? Mobile phone? The man said that Joaquin didn't need a vest. The girl from medim level asked if he's about to com to Israel. Neta told her that he already did two years ago for Dias de Flamenco with Pastora Galvan.Later on - the man asked to hear/see an alegria. Neta let us see a bit of Diego El Cigala. It was a surprise for me cause I know that Neta doesn't like him. The girl from medium level classes and the man choosed to start standing cause they couldn't sit anymore. This girl and the assistant said they don't like him. Neta said that she doesn't like him nither but many people around the world adores him. Second remark on a look: the assistant said it's because he's ugly. Ok, I never said that Diego is a good looking, but this isn't a reason. Ok, let's move on? For really watching alegria - Neta let us to see a dancer. One more surprise to me. First of all I know that alegria is a very feminine type for a dance - at least if we're talking about traditional and it was a man who was dancing. Accept that - it was a dancer that I didn't know before. He's name is Andrés Peña Morón. When he was on screen someone said "see? he's with a vest". Neta said "and with a jacket. Look - he also have a use in it". I'm glad I had the chance to see it. Although I wasn't expecting to see a man dance an alegria - I just LOVED what I saw. Neta said that he's great but he don't have the carisma of Joaquin Grilo. I adore Neta but I'm not always agree with her. Joaquin is great indeed, but this part of Andrés excited me much more than Joaquin can. And there was a part that Andrés made THAT good till the man from medium level classes has started to curse, jealousy of course.I really should check on YouTube for more videos of him just to know if it was a one time thing or does he can make me feel this way all the time. For the end - Neta said that she wants to let us see a woman who dance solea por buleria. It was a part of Pastora Galvan. It looked familiar like I saw it before. Most was good, but there was a part that she made a movement which looked to me too weird, something that doesn't fit for a dancer to do. She pulled her head very ahead before her body for a short while. This class took a bit longer than it was meant to be. Now it was 10 minutes into the second class - the one that I normally take on tuesdays. There was the other one who comes every time who wasn't there. The sisters from Haifa were suppose to come as well but they were always late. The kidos from the sunday class said they would come although it isn't their class. I found myself alone with Neta. Hey, will be a class or not? Neta was a bit confused too cause others said they will come and through those who said it - I was the only one there. I went again to the ladies room (I;m getting old and drink a lot of water, what a mix!). That time Neta made some phone calls. She said that no one told her accept the one who always come, but the others won't come. No one accept me. Now I stayed inside the studio for watching over the stuff while Neta went for the ladies room. We went out together. Until the main street we went together and talked. I told her that I think that in the video classes there is always a flamenco artist that I didn't know before and for me it's already a good thing. I also told her that I think that this year the hardest class is the one of tuesdays and every time we don't have it - it just makes more nervous about how will be next time. Through what she said - the future of this class is in the fog. Oh no. Although it's a really hard one it doesn't mean that I want it to over...
