I know it took me some time to write about it. Many things around...
Last moment. Outside the studio - Ilan helped the tall one to practice. The bimbo and the new nice one made their own practice. I hate to say it but it sound too loud... Inside only two girls of beginners. Neta brought some of her clothes collection. After changing I made a try to tell the fellows their practice doesn't sound well. In the end - only Ilan noticed what I said and laughed about it (who cares about this "stage" there?).
Between classes there was a checking out that some girls made on the collection of skirts. And we were talking about last Friday. Neta said that I already told her about it. She said that she knows that even I danced. The bimbo didn't like it cause everyone danced. I really wanted to remind her it was mostly her who danced, but I guess it could start a fight. I just said that it's a change cause I was afraid even in the studio, so now dancing like this in the front of strangers at the coffee shop... The assistant asked if we did it as well. I said we did and told about few things she missed (and it's better this way cause it was much more fun without her). Ilan said that all of us were in our best that evening.
Our class has started while one of the beginners still check the skirts. The fat woman missed the start while changing her shoes. Only the man didn't come. Music from the system - songs which has been recorded in shows. We made a regular warming, just legs' warming like in a every class and without a connection to anything we did this year. We had a little brake for Neta could tell the beginner that one of the skirts looks good on her. One more brake - the beginner told that she's taking the skirt and will bring the money tomorrow. We moved to hands' warming. I missed this kind of warming, but it was a bit stressing because it took a long time from class, it didn't have a connection to end of year and the show will be this week, last class before....
Next. Circles in our places. I'm getting better. Maybe accept once which I missed a bit with the balance. Neta asked me to do it without falling. The assistant has started to go out and back to the studio. When she was in she sat down most of this time. There was a start of a song in the back round. I was wondering for a moment why does it sounds familiar.... Only few moments. I didn't hear it for a long time, but many good memories from my third year. I have this song and still... Neta asked if anyone knows which palo it is. I was glad she asked it. I didn't give anyone else a chance to answer. I said it's a taranto. Neta looked surprised that I know. It didn't matter I knew it through her classes.
Next. Neta stopped the taranto and didn't accept to go on with it. We made some circles around. Twice all of us together in the way I liked the most. After that in couples. The bimbo and the new nice one were the first couple. Ilan and me came after. Last couple were the tall and the fat. They made it slow and it was hard to them. The assistant didn't accept to try. Once again. This time Neta asked the tall and the fat to be first. After that we made it in the same order. Twice again. Neta said that the fat and tall have to be first for doing it slow. When it were our turns - it was in the speed we meant to do. After that Neta said that we all got better. She was proud mostly in herself for teaching us.
Getting ready to the show. We made once the drill of legs. The fat woman made one mistake and couldn't understand why did Neta fixed her. It was hard NOT to notice that something happen to Ilan cause he stated to miss in a way which doesn't fit him. Neta asked him over and over what happened and he didn't answer. I guess he had a good reason for his silence.
Working on the siguiryia. A bit of practice on a little part of it. And dancing all. At the start I had to push myself to my place cause Neta fixed something nearby. After that - the ordinary problem of places. The tall one stood at her place when we made the going out. After once of the full siguiryia there was no time to go on with class. It was the end. Now I had to remind everyone the order of the going out. And I said over and over again about the spaces till anyone noticed what I said.
The snobbish came. A bottle of wine has been opened. I received the first cup with a promise I can take some more cause it was with a lot of foam. There was enough for a second round. I did ask for more, a thing which made some more jokes. The bimbo brought a gift from this group only - an orchid. It was hidden outside the studio.
I felt sticky so I went to wash my hands. They already started the warming. I joined them. After a little while Neta was teaching some new steps for tango. We made it once with her and with music. After that each one needed to do it alone with music. I was the first "victim". A moment before I understood the steps, but my head didn't remember much of it when I needed to do it alone. It didn't disturb me, I was sure that I can did SOMETHING. I missed a lot. I apologized it still doesn't "sit" in my body. I felt for a moment without talent. The good thing for me that no one did it perfect. Neta said that next year she's about to teach tango for fin la fiesta. She's sure we can.
And our buleria. We've been asked to do it with our backs to the mirror. When we all were ready the assistant asked how do we do it. Neta had some stories from her time in Spain. We made once all of us together. It wasn't too bad. Solos. Looks like we're ready, maybe accept the snobbish who started to miss. We made a bit more practice on the very end.
We still had few minutes. Neta said that the next thing will be for Ilan. For the end she asked me to do my salida. We made a circle. Neta asked me again to do my salida from my place to the place in the front of me. The others needed to make jaleo which fit the beat and do it loud. After that the assistant, the bimbo and the snobbish one needed to do it as well. The difference was that in my case there was a "free jaleo" and each was yelling me whatever they wanted. For them we needed to yell something certain as jaleo. After that - Neta asked me again to do my salida, this time they needed to make a certain jaleo.
At the way out Ilan helped Neta to take her orchid to her car. I received a walk with Ilan till half way. We made a brake before he had to go another place. At that brake we still talked and I showed him a video I promised to show him a long time ago.
After coming back home - taking my dog for a walk. At the way there was a meeting with the new nice one who took her dog out. We had a long talk about flamenco. It looks like she didn't want to end this talk cause she probably won't take a part in the show and she still doesn't know what's gonna be with her next year. It was hard for me to stop this talk till I was talking A LOT.
And catching up....
