The evening

After all this week... From some reason I forgot the hour. I came a bit late to the workshop of Shuky/Adva/Idit. I've been told that all came late and not all came yet. One of the Facebook girls meant to come and she said in the last moment that she won't come. The guitar players... Few more accept those who comes anyway. This time we were pretty the same with dancers Vs. guitar players. The real problem was that one of the guitar players is someone that I used to know for a short time. That time was more than enough for me to dislike him. I made all try to ignore him. Idit knows about Alicia Fiuri for few days through me. She was too shocked for answering me in time. Now before class has started she found the time and words to talk with me about this. I finished it fast cause I still needed to go and finish the payment thing and I needed to the loo. I gave the money to the secretary and in the time she wrote that I paid - I went to the loo. It looked free and ... I had to ran away and I said I'm sorry. 

I came back. It didn't start right away. The weirdo was talking with an old woman that I saw who came to another workshops from dancers from Spain. A woman who's something like 80 years old (I'm not kidding!) and started to learn flamenco 6 years ago. This time I was talking with her a bit too. The bimbo was there too! We were talking a bit before someone else came. I know her from the studio of Neta. I think she don't remember me and I don't care. I heard her say that she didn't learn a thing from Neta and it finished bad between them. I don't know what happened between them although I know now that Neta isn't a saint, but it pissed me to hear that she said that Neta teach nothing. The class has started with her. 

It was around tangos this time. One more guitar player came, a gown up one. Idit told about the palo and the history of it. We saw and mostly heard a bit a song of Repompa de Málaga. There was a question if to go one with Miguel Poveda or not. In the end we didn't because of time. Adva went for a moment. She wanted to bring papers with the class' information for those who didn't have. Idit said that now we'll see a part of Concha Jareño. Adva who still was next to the door said that Concha Jareño is her favorite dancer. Idit said it's a very important information for the class.... 

Shuky played and sang us few parts of few kinds of tangos. And all get together. Working on palmas. And singing a part. I made only palmas. 

A short brake. 

When we started to work - it took me some time. I was still full in the other flamenco I had this week and the non sleeping. After a while it went easier. I only confused when I looked on the weirdo. It was hard not to. She stood next to me some of time, and even when she didn't.... There is a mirror. She do such scary faces, jump like a monkey, she makes movements of a man and she makes mistakes. 

The guitar players came back. Shuky needed to work hard to make them silence for going on. We all made together. The guitar players and all dancers. Maybe once or twice I missed, but it felt like I can do it. 

And running to couples of dancers. The first couple was the weirdo with another one. For the second couple - the bimbo with... The old woman didn't want. She said she can't do it as a part of a couple cause she do whatever. We were a trio. Three of us made few mistakes, but most of time we were good. 

Two rounds of solos. Most came before me. The weirdo hardly made mistakes, and even when she didn't it looked scary. I know she's a talented photographer, but it doesn't make her a dancer or a normal person. A man from the street came in and looked. Not only - he clapped his hands and had what to say. The bimbo didn't look much like suffer as she usually do. She did a bit, but most of time she looked like she let herself feel free. It looked good. The old woman made her thing after she told the guitar players that she listen to them but do whatever she wants. So... An old woman, non professional dancer, she let her body go free with the music. I didn't give attention with she made mistakes or not. She made something crazy which looked so cool, mostly when it comes from a woman in her age. She made all smile. I know that my smile came from a pure good thing. She made me! I think that all felt the same. All praised her in claps after. When my turn came - Adva asked me if I want to do it with her or alone. I said that I don't mind this time. She said that she want to do it with me. We were talking of how we'll do it. After - she said she will only sign me. I made few mistakes, but it went on. 

Second round was pretty the same. The man from the street was there most of time and enjoyed. The weirdo was horrible but hardly finished her part. The bimbo looked happy to dance in most of her turn and it fit her well. The old woman made her crazy thing which looked so cool in my eyes. After me were only two more. Shuky was tired and asked Idit to sing instead of him a bit before my turn. They both were talking and I wasn't ready for really dancing when Idit started to sing. Adva stopped them cause it isn't fare. It's my turn now! She didn't even offer me this time to dance with me. We started again. I maybe made one mistake, but it felt like I really do it. Although I didn't know all in the room, few of those who I did know I don't like, it's a palo that I never tried to dance alone before, and still I was relaxed. I think that most of my success was the try without to freak out. In my turn I didn't look at the guitar player which I used to know. Only after. I noticed he looked at me like he remembers. He shouldn't start a conversation... 

In the end of class Adva said she's sorry. Shuky has a show later this evening, she needs to bring him there  and they short out of time. It normally don't happen this way. I saw the rush, the changing clothes of some in a crazy way... Adva and Idit told the bimbo that they happy to know her now. They asked her where does she learn. She said where she did and she said that now she's learn from Neta. Oh, where's Orna learn! Yeah. We learn together once a week. I found myself tell them next to the bimbo that I see this amazing girl once a week. The bimbo smiled. I'm not sure that I meant to give her such a complement, but I know that I rather give it to her than to many others
