I almost forgot the hour. There was an e-mail which remind me today the new hour. This time I came with no rush although it's earlier. Still beginners danced and only me and Ilan came. When it was almost the hour - also the assistant came. Oh.... Their class was over. Neta told that next week will be a change in days because of Independence day, the same hours only in a day after. The fat woman came in this moment, one another came a moment after. The bimbo came when we meant to start. She's been asked what happened. She forgot.
Till we really started - we had a very short legs warming. And the legs' practice we'll do on stage. We hardly started this part - Neta corrected me over and over about that I have to use my hands and how, I have to move my head to the side of steps and hands.... I did it! Those fixings just made me THAT confuse till I almost stopped. Oh damn! After yesterday.... What a falling down! Later on it got better, but in this practice I wasn't on my best. We worked a lot on this part and I felt all this time like I have no start of a talent. Maybe accept one part, but in the start I thought Neta correct me again. We have a part we make circles in our places with the steps (I think it's Ilan's fault - he made it more complicated than we learned, now all of us have to do it like him). We all made the circles. I made it as I remember, but I noticed that the others make the circles to the other side. Neta started to correct about sides. After I thought it's me again - I found out she try to correct the others.
Neta said that we don't move enough with the siguiryia and we must have to make new steps to the siguiryia. I remind her that we made something new last week. Great, what was it? None of us remembered, but I didn't delete (yet) from my camera the video I took. We all watched it and worked on it a bit.
And all we have with the siguiryia. I hate to be behind most of the siguiryia. This dance is pretty easy to me, but... I do it too close to the assistant who doesn't get how to dance and I have to worry if I can do some of movements to the end or do it smaller because of her. And I always worry if I will be seen. Mostly I have to worry because of someone who's usually nice and dance well for the time she dance. Still - the assistant doesn't really move, the other one move too much. And I have to be in a part near behind her. I always find myself really behind her. Useless to say that she's much taller than me, so I see nothing but her long hair..... Of course Neta have nothing to say about it, and this giant noticed only once when there was the second changing in places.
The snobbish woman came. Some of the mistakes Neta couldn't see cause she was talking with the snobbish while we danced. Ok, some of us danced - others just moved around. It took Neta some time to give us attention again.
After this class was over - Neta said again that next week we'll dance in another day. The bimbo said she didn't know. Of course... It's new from today! Those who doesn't stay to improvisation classes went away. Neta told us that she was checking about to bring a singer to at least one class. There still some options because of prices and ability of singers here. The bimbo had something that made all of us laugh - it's better to pay for classes of vocal pedagogy for Neta.
We started our buleria. Few stops to correct. Neta told us that we must think how do we dance and what people see from us when we do it. As she looked at me and smiled - I think I made it well. Then each do alone. The snobbish was first. She didn't make many mistakes and still it looked like every time she dance... The turn of the bimbo. Neta made a try to sing although she didn't take vocal pedagogy classes. It wasn't the ordinary buleria. the bimbo made mistakes. And... Oh no! Neta noticed that she doesn't sing a buleria and because of it - it's impossible to fit. She didn't want our ordinary buleria song and she was into other palos, so she went to the music system. While there were some bulerias in full volume - Ilan and me made a try to talk with each other... Back for dancing. This time - Neta made a buleria and the bimbo almost made it. The assistant sat down. Ilan's turn. He made some new steps, not many of it was things we learned. Most of time it looked cool, but few times he was a bit confuse. Even he had few things to fix. I don't remember id the stranger came to the studio in this part or after my turn. The assistant didn't accept to try this time. I made a try. The entrada (entrance) I made a bit different than I got used to do alone. I don't know what happened to me in this moment, but it was clear to me it's good as well. I even noticed that I received jaleo (mostly from Ilan, but also from the girls). In the main part - one I misses and forgot one little movement to be in time and beat. The salida (going out) - I almost forgot how to do. It didn't feel right. While my back to Neta and to the mirror - I let myself do crazy face to Ilan..... Neta didn't have anything to say.
Well, when we learned some new steps to the buleria (difficult as some wanted) - there was the stranger for sure. He came for someone, but not for me. He signed for hello and sat on one of benches in silence. No disturbing. We worked on it a lot. And I took one more video.
In the end of class I found out what did the stranger was looking for and who does he know. He came through Ilan and he thought maybe to come and learn. I went out with Ilan and his friend. I've been told that this stranger/friend dance salsa. Ilan started to tell him about the flamenco community in Israel when I started a conversation which includes people from this community. Then - I don't know where it came from... This friend of Ilan asked me if I'm a professional and do some shows of my own...... He said that I dance like a professional. We all do
