When I came today - I was sure that it still the end of the world. From my class - I could see only the "ballerina" comes although it was near to the hour of our class. Like it wasn't enough - I was looking for my bag with my skirt and manton. I did come with extra dress (my old black dress) in case that it won't be there. If not a manton - still I wanna be dressed as I suppose to in class. When I was near to give up (fast) and brake down - I saw my bag. it was on the top of the closet with the music system. The skirt, the manton, the training shirt and the bottle of water were there. I got calm.
Our class was meant to start while I was wearing my flamenco shoes. Some got in the last moment, so... One of the last moment was my friend who didn't have her manton this time. I was afraid about mine and was sure that I would have the problem. One who a bit started this year and gone, back, gone.... And she did dance last year and before in this studio came back again. She had two shawls this time - her little and original which is too small, and a new one. A beautiful manton in black and red for pros that she got as a gift from a friend. The friend of her were in Spain last year and bought her there the manton in this trip. The eyes.... Hurts to see this beauty. And all girls on the manton for seeing it.
Hands' warming. I'm tired and make mistakes even in this part, but I'm calm again. I got into a point which is normally hard for me to see - the thought that in a moment all will be fine.
And working on one of parts of the alegria. Weeded our mantons. As far as one came with two shawls, Neta and my friend didn't - my friend had the chance to try the gift manton from Spain. It was a bit hard for her, but.... I won't mind to try it as well. And my friend got lots of fixings this time. And the "ballerina" got some as well.
The girl from Haifa came in time to legs' warming. Neta looked at me a lot in this part and I made a try to guess when will be the moment she will fix me. We had to practice a step which is difficult for all of us. I know I still don't do it perfect, but I felt a progress. We all needed to repeat it over and over and Neta fixed all of us in general. In the end of this practice she said we don't have enough time, and if we had more - she would have giving us to practice more. None of us do it well enough. And she said "Not even Orna". Oh my... Since when did I become a role model, mostly when we're talking about legs' work? Oh, she did see me as one of the role models in the class of technique with the happy siguiryia. I was shocked in both times. For the end of the legs' warming we worked on a new part from last week which I forgot we made (I didn't take the video, I'm not sure that any of us did). And after this week.... I started to got confuse and make some more mistakes. At least once Neta saw it, but instead of fixing me - she just smiled.
And working a lot on parts of the alegria. Neta wanted to stop for we;ll dance all, but some asked to make some more practice. And the "ballerina" had some questions. She had a short private practice with the daughter while all of us watch.
The alegria. My friend still was most of time with the new gift manton of the other one. In the first trial - I was still tired and still with wholes in my memory. I made some mistakes which I know NOT to do, but it didn't help much. In the practice between time to time and dancing all it got better, although in few legs' parts I still far from being a role model.
Although Andrue didn't come this time - there is still a recording of him play a little longer than our dance. So Neta gave us few new steps. Some went to sit. Neta said we all looks tired, but we have a bit more to time to practice. We all must practice on the new steps and dance after that all we have from the alegria - includes the little new part.
In the end of class I told my friend about the forgotten bag. She totally understood my fear. She remind me that it happened to her last year with her bata near the end of year. And oh - my beautiful skirt! What a horrible thing if my beautiful skirt was gone forever! Well, it isn't gone forever (although the last week felt this way), and I'm glad that at least in that she had a nice word for me
