I came on time to stay relax, but tired in a way which I was sure it will make hard on me and after coming there in a walk. There was a class before of guajira with a fan. And a guitar player. Half of the girls are from Mijal's company, some were on Monday as well. I went to change. This time were more girls in both classes.
It took a bit time till the next class has started. I found a place were I've been on Monday - in the back, in the right edge. Till the guitar player came back - Mijal told what's a siguiryia for it starts today. Only one of the girls from the company stayed, one who was also on Monday. The guitar player came back and the stories go on. One of the girls still didn't get. Palmas. I just wanna dance. Mijal said that there is something about siguiryia which makes people addicted. Tell me about it... I know it!
It went on with hands' warming. The guitar player was asking if playing a siguiryia. No... Still I didn't notice what did he play. I noticed to the teacher and to a girl who kinda pushed me a bit to the middle instead of behind. Again - few moves looked like the girls knew it's about to happen. There was also a very short legs' warming which was less stressing with ordinary steps.
And start the siguiryia. Unlike on Monday - this time it wasn't from start to end, it was in parts. Mijal warned we start with escobilla. It's a legs part which is possible to find in every flamenco dance, and always the hardest part for me. I thought it's gonna be hard. Well, the hardest part was to remember all and handle the crowd. I don't know how does it alwas happen to me... The girl behind me almost got into me. I moved - she let space. I came back to my place - she almost got into me again. And the wall... Too close to the wall! But the steps weren't too bad. For some it didn't work out well, but it felt natural to me. I learn few new steps. The hardest one confused some of the others, Mijal was busy in fixing. It was new to me as well. Mijal looked at me and I was sure that now I'm gonna screw it. That was one of the mistakes which I enjoy to get - not only it worked out well when she looked, she opened her eyes in a surprise and said it was great. I did it great and she saw it! The real challenge all this time was not get into other girls or in the wall. I'm already used to it more than I want to and made it as well.
We moved to another part of the siguiryia. A part of dancing for a silence part of the guitar playing. It was includin a part from the liviana of Monday, just a little part. The rest was new. Still felt relaxed like no one try to get into me and like I'm not in a studio that I'm not used to while all others used to. The awareness that I can do it and the fact it's one of my favorite palos of flamenco (I have few, one of the other is the guajira which was in the class before) just let me be in the important thing - dance and enjoy it.
The guitar player has been released, or so they said. He stayed a bit more and we moved on a bit more.
After this class I went to refresh. Mijal wanted me to stay to the next class when we talked about which classes I should try. I didn't feel like I should, but... Although I felt I got my evening bonus and it was enough for me - I stayed. I noticed that girls don't hurry to go, some are talking about end of year show although there is some new stuff and the learning will go on in the summer, not many new girls.... I asked Mijal if there is another class. She said that there is. Do I want to stay? I guess that I needed to say "no", and still I was there. She called the girl from her company and still not much happened.
